WRITING RESUME
DRAMATISTS GUILD MEMBER
"Salter creates a detailed and absorbing world... Her strong voice resonates..." - Star Ledger
Salter's work displays, "the breadth of [her] acting skills as well as the meticulous attention [she's] paid to the construction of character - Charles Isherwood, NY Times
The production and performance of In the Continuum, "could easily have held their own among this year’s Tony Award nominees." - Ben Brantley and Charles Isherwood, NY Times
"The theater, used this wisely and this well [as in In the Continuum], speaks louder and penetrates deeper.” Newsday
