“WaterTower Theatre in Addison racked up 11 honors in Joanie Schultz's first year as artistic director. The accolades were spread out over the season, with nods going to the world premiere of Bread by Regina Taylor; the company's original, devised holiday show, The Great Distance Home; and the regional premieres of Elliot, a Soldier's Fugue by Pulitzer Prize-winner Quiara Alegría Hudes and Kate Hamill's adaptation of Pride and Prejudice.” -Nancy Churnin, Dallas Morning News
