June 30th - July 11th

BOSTON GLOBE by Sandy MacDonald:
"In this hugely demanding role, Antoinette LaVecchia is a powerhouse...Particularly juicy is LaVecchia’s incarnation of a venomous wronged wife, whose advice to Kari is, “Never forgive!’’..."thrilling production"

THE FREE GEORGE by Dave Bower and Monica Sirignano:
"LaVecchia’s brilliant, mercurial performance alone is worth seeing, as she switches characters (both male and female reunion guests) with a rapid-fire precision and spot-on comic timing that’s reminiscent of Robin Williams."

THE BENNINGTON BANNER by Telly Halkias:
"Finally, not enough can be said for LaVecchia, perhaps the finest piece of casting at DTF in years. This woman played the entire class of 1979, the collective memories of our own teenage years, and the Oedipal chorus -- all rolled into one. Her well of her talent was seemingly bottomless. With excellent verbal as well as physical expression, LaVecchia was the evening’s compass, a guide through time and space that could be Siren one moment, and Muse the next."

THE MANCHESTER JOURNAL by Jessica Erin Palmer:
"There is the pot-smoking mayor, the angry police chief, the possibly gay world traveler, and the disillusioned minister - well over 20 other attendees, all magically (and seamlessly) played by the Narrator, Antoinette LaVecchia"

PETER BERGMAN REVIEWS by Peter Bergman:
"Played by Antoinette LaVecchia, these characters in their late 30s all come vividly alive before our eyes. She has as many physical postures as she does voices and faces. Her instant differentiation of them all -- male, female, married, single, lesbian, pathetic and sympathetic -- are beautifully drawn."
