Quotes
Keene Sentinel letter to the editor: "I would like to publicly commend the city of Keene’s... presentation of “Six Nights in the Black Belt.” As a member of St. James’ Episcopal Church, I was initially skeptical that a play about Jonathan Daniels. [But, through the play] I understood how an ordinary person could be compelled to action that not only put his life in danger, but willingly placed his body between a young girl and a bullet. The story is one that needs to be told over and over again."

"I am in awe of your dedication to the play as well as your craft. You renew my excitement for what the true underlying meaning of this art form really is."
- Montgomery Artistic Director Tom Quinn
