REVIEWERS
& PRODUCERS:
ABOUT HER PLAYS:
"Short-Term Affairs was a fresh and original send-up of dating
services."
--Review by Julie Halpern, In and Out of the Box.com
Golden Ladder: "Spector writes characters and dialogue
beautifully: the portraits of Catherine, her father, and her friends
Aaron, Mary, and Carole are rich and detailed and honest."
--Martin Denton, NYTheatre.com
"Golden Ladder, whose title refers to the Old Testament
golden ladder up to heaven, is an amusing new play."
--Anita Gates, New York Times
Blind Date: "Spector never resorts to clichés here
as she peppers Blind Date with all manner of unexpected turns. The play
is delightful…fast, funny and unpredictable."
--Martin Denton, NYTheatre.com
"Another Paradise provides a humanistic sense of humor
and exploration of the nature of the mother-daughter relationship."
--Michele Lipow, Back Stage
"Another Paradise: a sensitive new play."
--Clive Barnes, New York Post
"Another Paradise…an interesting variation on the
resilience of rural women."
--Mel Gussow, New York Times
Dancing with Strangers: "The warmth, humor and great gentleness
of the first script of hers I read, Dancing with Strangers, made
me want to read more."
--James Freydberg, producer
Another Paradise: "From the first strains of music as the
lights came up on stage, a magic began that is rare… There I was
carried along, deeply moved with tears and laughter by these characters
that were spinning this folk tale with great humanity spiced with humor
and insight. The play bounced right off the stage and touched the lives
of the spectators who were reliving glimpses of their own lives and
struggles through the characters of the play."
--Donald Goldman, producer
AND ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT:
"Ms. Spector is a serious, talented, dedicated and gifted writer."
--Donald Goldman, producer
"Ms. Spector writes compassionate, intelligent plays about trying
to live joyfully and with dignity. She is not afraid to tackle difficult
subjects (such as homelessness and aging) and, more importantly, she
is constantly pushing herself to make her work truer, more pertinent
and absolutely vital."
--James Freydberg, producer
