EAGLE SQUADRON GO! (at the New York Fringe Festival, directed by Kevin Thomsen)

Kate Kertez as Philippine

"Kate Kertez stuns as the charming-to-the-last Phillippine. Her sultry voice works brilliantly for her nightclub song numbers, (the music, composed by John Bauers, fits flawlessly with the period), and her meticulously detailed character (from her accent down to her tiniest movements) makes her seem as if she had jumped right out of 1940s France."  --Michael Mraz, NYTheatre.com [full review]

THE MEMORY OF WATER (at the Hippodrome Theatre, directed by Lauren Caldwell)

Kate Kertez as Catherine

"Director Lauren Caldwell's talented cast does justice to this fine, literate play.  It would be unfair to single out any one performer although I'd have to say that Kate Kertez as the hypochondriacal, exhibitionist, ('Throw your arms around me') Catherine, won my heart."  --Arline Greer,  The Gainesville Sun [full review]

"The performances are all pull–out–the–stops interpretations of warm–blooded creatures we can recognize as our kin.  'Give me two players and a passion,' Moliere said, 'and I will show you theater.' The Hipp triples the equation this time around with its tight ensemble of pros comprised of Jan Wikstrom, Catherine Fries Vaughn, Sara Morsey, Kate Kertez, Bryan Geary, and David Brummel." --Shamrock McShane, Satellite Magazine [full review]

DOUBT (at the Hippodrome Theatre, directed by Mary Hausch)

Kate Kertez as Sister James

"As Sister James, the young nun torn between the priest and the older nun, Kate Kertez enlists our sympathies with her humorous confusion and her very real desire to arrive at a fair understanding." --Arline Greer, The Gainesville Sun [full review]

"As directed by a Hippodrome founder, Mary Hausch, the three actors give masterful performances, and I could not imagine it being done any better on Broadway." --Dick Kerekes, Entertaining U Jacksonville [full review]

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (at the Hippodrome Theatre, directed by Lauren Caldwell)

Kate Kertez as Barbara

"Kate Kertez is enjoyably loony as scared-out-of-her-wits Barbara." --Arline Greer, The Gainesville Sun [full review]

THE REAL THING (at the University of Florida, directed by Ralf Remshardt)

Kate Kertez as Annie

"Kate Kertez as Annie has some wonderful scenes in which she shows why Henry is so crazy about her and why living with her is so much fun." --Dick Maxwell, The Gainesville Sun [full review] 

VINCENT IN BRIXTON (at the University of Florida, directed by David Young)

Kate Kertez as Ursula

"Kate Kertez, in the role of Ursula Loyer, Van Gogh's love interest, starts to catch our interest at the end of Act I. She begins to emerge from her cocoon, 15 years of mourning her late husband, to reveal a woman of passion, whose feelings of love are awakened once again by someone 30 years younger than her.  Lindsay and Kertez have a tangible chemistry.  One of my favorite scenes is when Ursula is describing her memory of a perfect night with a sky full of stars. As she recounts the event, you can almost see her memory being transferred to Vincent's closed eyes as he begins to envision what might later become one of his greatest masterpieces, "The Starry Night." This is a magical moment for the actors and the audience." --Sherwin MacKintosh, The Gainesville Sun

ALICE IN WONDERLAND (at the Hippodrome Theatre, directed by Lauren Caldwell)

Kate Kertez as the Caterpillar

"The play has a chorus of six women (Jennifer Anderson, Elizabeth Arnold, Robyn Berg, Ryan Burbank, Kate Kertez and Catherine Fries Vaughn) who move to the accompaniment of rhythmic music. The characters all move by gliding, swooping, jerking and crawling, creating a flow that adds a dimension of tension to the piece making it far more interesting than just having people walk from point A to point B."  --Dick Maxwell, The Gainesville Sun [full review]
