HADRIAN’S WALL

WINNER – Best Actress, Overall Excellence for Performance Award

(NY International Fringe Festival)

“Rebecca White is a revelation in this play. Full of an endearing sort of twitchy, girlish energy, the winning White has a fierce strength and a seductive grace.”

— NYTheatre.com

AWAKE & SING 

*Six BATCC Award nominations, including BEST ENSEMBLE

“Rebecca White gives a touching portrayal of pregnant daughter Hennie, who is forced to marry a man she does not love.  A bold, stylish production that makes the Bergers a real family.  Their interaction with each other is exceptional.

— RICHARD CONNEMA, TALKIN’ BROADWAY

“A magnificent ensemble cast…This is theatre at its absolute best and I highly recommend it.  I’m giving it a 10+.” – JERRY FRIEDMAN, KGO NEWSTALK ENTERTAINMENT

“Under Joy Carlin’s sensitive and perfectly modulated direction, Berkeley’s Aurora Theatre Co. does its usual bang-up job.  The actors dig gratifyingly deep.”

— JEAN SCHIFFMAN, THE EXAMINER

T.I.C. 

“Under Prestininzi’s deft direction, the tightly-wired ensemble — anchored by Rebecca White’s Kid — does yeoman work in a farce that requires split-second timing.” — GEORGE HEYMAN, MY CULTURAL LANDSCAPE 

“Rebecca White is astounding as the angry 16-year-old Kid.  Her voice and body movements are like a teenager’s and she dominates the stage in this fast-paced travesty.” — RICHARD CONNEMA, TALKIN’ BROADWAY

“[A] stunning new play brilliantly directed by Ken Prestininzi and cast with actors playing at the top of their game.” — PAT CRAIG, CONTRA COSTA TIMES

“Nachtrieb’s script is packed with comic creativity, and the Encore cast fills out his offbeat caricatures to rib-tickling perfection.” – ROBERT HURWITT, SF CHRONICLE

“Its lunacy is hilariously and suspiciously spot-on.”

— ROB AVILA, SF BAY GUARDIAN

THE BUCCANEER

“An old-school telenovela tells the story of a Buccaneer seeking to avenge the murder of his family by the evil Queen Isabella, played with an extraordinary Catalan lisp by Rebecca White.”

PURPLE HEARTS 

“His spitfire girlfriend is played with real spunk by Rebecca White”—Andy Propst, BACKSTAGE
