WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

As Amanda, Croyle balances a prim veneer of respectability and charm over her wild, rule-breaking heart. She deliciously sinks her teeth into Amanda’s spoiled rich girl attitude through her facial expressions, pursing her lips and allowing the stillness to contrast with the aggressive moves she makes when angered.” -Boston Globe

“The performances by the cast make this production sing with comic energy. Croyle goes deep inside her character, and it’s hard to take your eyes off her facial expressions as she transitions from loving partner to screaming banshee and back again.” - New England Theater Mirror

“Croyle’s Amanda is successful; she highlights her character’s dizzying contradictions through a skillful use of her comedic instincts, particularity when it comes to timing.” -Boston Arts Fuse

“Katie Croyle also shines brightly as Amanda, delivering the most positively infuriating and downright ridiculous honeymooner with ease.” -North Shore Local News Journal

“But it might be Katie Croyle…making her Trinity debut…who steals the show. As Lydia, the punch-sipping, boy-crazy youngest sister, she’s spot on. As Lady Catherine, she is superb.” - Westerly Sun

“Croyle is worthy of note in her portrayal of the haughty Lady Catherine De Bourgh…Croyle’s wicked laugh and cane pointing is just this side of a Disney villainess.” - Providence Journal

“And the wondrous Katie Croyle, who goes from silly, over-indulgent, foolish youngest daughter to overbearing, cane stomping duchess Lady Catherine De Bourgh, is a transformation only made by a performer of innate skill and confidence.” - Southern Rhode Island Newspaper

“Katie Croyle is a dynamic and charismatic Viola…Croyle’s low voice and her ability to walk and move like an adolescent male, make her so believable as the boy servant, the audience often forgets she’s really a girl.” - Bangor Daily News
