people together of all ages and backgrounds. Everyone coming
together and volunteering their time to make a show happen from
the ground up is just incredible to watch. TNP has made me feel
at home, and that’s why I keep coming back. The resources that are
available to you, the experts you get to work with…TNP is unlike
any other theater.”
“When I was a newcomer, I was made comfortable by the more
experienced actors around me. I hope that I’m becoming that kind
of actor for the other newcomers around me now. Put yourself out

working towards something, something always works out.”
Thank you, Aseem, for all of your hard work and dedication to
this community. Watching you grow both on and off stage, and
into a member of our community, has been great. Congratulations
on your Broadway World award!
