• "Tutti Arts - Tutti Voice Newsletter December 2009"
  Tutti Arts - Tutti Voice Newsletter December 2009 - reads, in part "It is great to be back in South Australia with the Tutti team who made the trip to Minnesota. Northern Lights, Southern Cross was a marvellous experience complete with huge challenges and moments of exhilaration, and it was wonderful working both with Interact and at the ultra-modern and very accessible Guthrie Theater. We were delighted that our South Aussie patron's film The Boys are Back opened around the same time and that both Scott and Tutti won critical acclaim from the Minneapolis press. In fact, Northern Lights, Southern Cross broke all box office records for the Guthrie and attracted a broad mainstream, Native American, and African American audience. Dozens remained behind after every performance for post-show discussions looking at themes of trauma and healing central to the show and by closing night Northern Lights, Southern Cross had truly succeeded in raising awareness about barriers that exclude. We also knew that audiences everywhere are hungry for original work created through the melting pot of radical inclusion."
