reviews
"Among the standout performances is Courtney Salvage’s memorable take on Juliet. She exhibits a keen sense of comic timing...but also delivers a deeply felt sense of intoxication, desperation and, ultimately, tragic loss."
"...the marvelous Courtney Salvage, who makes a female Horatio seem not only natural but almost necessary..."
"Salvage...manages to keep the histrionics right at the sweet spot."
"Salvage delivers a strong performance in which she makes Kate's simmering anger and self-doubt funny and poignant."
"Kate, [to] whom Salvage lends smart comedic timing..."
"Courtney Salvage is superb in her role of Juliet...magnificent as she delivers humorous quips... Her talent shines as she flies into rants and rage on stage."
"Salvage showed incredible transformation... she took charge of her character with such sensitivity and spontaneity..."
"Courtney Salvage, displays a more modern Juliet with flashes of fun and merriment in what traditionally plays as a tragic heroine. She brings fun and the excitement of youth to the character...and the wonderment of first love. Her take on the youthful character of Juliet elicits humor and laughs from the audience with a characterization fresh and new to the classic."
"Fabinana Aziza Cunningham (played to a razor's precision by 1st year MFA Courtney Salvage)..."
"Courtney Salvage lends a sardonic edge to consternated Kate."
"Miss Salvage fully captures Ellida's emotional turmoil..."
