"To us Mt. Hood Repertory Theatre is Tobias Andersen. he is the soul and quickening spirit of the Theatre. That being said, it is his blend of commitment to community, to American Theatre, to audience satistfaction, and to "getting it right" that resonates there. Regional theatres like Mt. Hood bring audiences unable to trek to the big cities the opportunity to experience the best in dramatic literature and local excellence in the arts. For actors, like us, you experience, as we did in Gresham, an audience that is eager to participate and is more and more knowledgeable about good theatre."
