"Donna Davis created a new play from existing sources and titled it 'Women's Voices, Then and Now.' It was produced at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley where I serve as one of the ministers. Donna directed the play, casting twenty-one women who received hours of individual coaching from Donna. Each woman felt herself growing in Donna's presence and from her attention. Each woman stretched to understand every word, feeling, and action of her character. Each woman did more than she ever knew she could. Donna created magic-individual growth, community among the women, and a move-the-audience-to-laughter-tears-and-fresh-insight production!"
