Rob Johansen said : 
"When I think of the impact David Hoppe's first play, AFTER PAUL McCARTNEY, had on our local theatre scene, it is so easy to see why DivaFest is such an important function. Each time a new writer of plays is given a forum to hear their play, magic happens... They are informed and more times than not, the audience is moved, and the inspiration is laid for these rookie writers to keep going. Without forums like DivaFest, many accomplished writers might never have been heard from."
