”Working with Ruth as a script supervisor on the production of Erityiset was easy and straightforward. As a script supervisor she was highly detail-oriented and helpful."

"Ruth was an absolute dream to work with! She went above and beyond to make us Americans feel at home in a strange new land (Finland) and was the bridge between the cast and crew, as she had one foot in both worlds.
I think the reason she was such an effective stage manager is because she’s got so much experience as a performer. She knows what it’s like on stage and therefore could be three steps ahead of any problems that would arise. She really can do anything, and she does it with a smile. I can’t wait to work with her again!
