In memory of a courageous woman who had a resilient spirit to fight for the principles that she believed in. She was an outstanding high school teacher, college professor, human-being, wonderful friend and activists for the human rights of others. RIP Ms. Neumann "Dot"

We just learned, very late, of Dot's passing. We have such great memories of many moments spent together. I had the great privilege of working with Dot in the theater, one of my very first professional contracts, what luck ! I learned so much and was so touched by the complete confidence she had in me ! Dot was such a generous artist and person ! Our hearts are with you Barb ! Big love from across the Pond, Lory and Bernie.

To Barb and the Neumann Family, I'm saddened and shocked to here of Dorothy "Dot's" passing. She was my 6th grade teacher at JJW in Va. Dot was a courageous and kind person. He faith was her strength because she weathered many storms in her life, especially that tragic accident in 1969 that took the lives of two of her colleagues who were teachers.

I'm so extremely sorry about Dot. She was my very first teacher at the Theater Lab (Summer 2019), and we actually walked to and from her Intro classes together because I got there early from the Metro. Dot was such a dear woman and lived her life, fantasically. My heart and prayers go out to her partner and her family.

To Barbara and others who loved Dot---she will be missed. My favorite memory of Dot is of taking a workshop with her at a college where her wit and skills were so remarkable and brought us joy. Dot was a gifted director and friend.

So sad to learn of Dot's passing. She was an absolute pleasure to know and work with. My heartfelt consolences to Barbara and all of Dot's loved ones.

I was so sad to hear of Dot´s passing. She was a joy to work with and gave me such generous opportunities early in my career. I am sending my love to Barb and Dot´s family.

Simply thinking of Dot makes us smile. She knew how to spread joy.

I am just devastated to hear of Dot's passing. She was a pillar in the DC theatre community and will be so missed. I send love and hugs to dear Barbara during this most difficult time.
