The Roommate – Reviews

Berkshire OnStage – “Their tone and timing are excellent, but they also manage the dramatic moments well. Gorlow tugs at the heartstrings with slight cracks in her voice as she holds back tears.” — Dan Mayer

Radioradiox – “Tanya Gorlow’s Robyn is the perfect destabilizing force — charismatic, guarded, unpredictable. Her sharp edges and flashes of vulnerability create a dynamic tension that keeps the room charged from first exchange to final beat.” –Joanna Palladino

Daily Gazette – “Gorlow has a more imposing demeanor, towering over Carey and able to intimidate via a glare, stance or an inflection. The two are perfectly paired. With Zahn’s tight direction, they get every laugh out of the script, even in many of the darker moments.” — Bill Kellert

Love for Whispering Bones

“Conceived by actor/producer Kelvin Keragan, who hosted the eerie festivities as Dr. Betterov-Underhill, these ghost stories were consistently intriguing. Tanya Gorlow’s rendition of “The Tell Tale Heart” was particularly gripping, performed in a sold-out cabaret space just off the lobby.” – Patrick White, Nippertown

MAAN, Stuff Is Shaping Up!

We’re only 6 days away from opening weekend for Much Ado About Nothing in Santa Monica and everything looks great!  Costume fittings are tomorrow and we get into the space Monday night.  In the meantime, there has been some serious acting going on.  Below, you can see Don Pedro (Chad Wood), Leonato (Matt Chait), Claudio (Mark Jacobson), and Balthazar (Christopher Otazo) during a rehearsal.

Some Ado About Much Ado About Nothing

This weekend, I had to learn my lines for Much Ado About Nothing.  We’re going up at the Miles Memorial Playhouse at Lincoln and Wilshire in Santa Monica the last weekend in May and closing the first weekend in June.  I’m playing Margaret this time around, after having the great pleasure of playing Claudio in an all female production and Beatrice in a Shakespeare in the park version.  This Margaret is going to be very bawdy, so you won’t want to miss it. I’ll post some rehearsal pics and add performance times in a bit.
