THE TOP TEN REGIONAL ACTRESSES IN
COMEDY & DRAMA
(In order of their productions)

MARIA LEIGH—LATE; A COWBOY SONG—CUSTOM MADE THEATRE—she radiated kindness, defenselessness and eccentricity all at the same time as Mary

CATHLEEN RIDDLEY—TREE—SAN FRANCISCO PLAYHOUSE.-She gave a brava performance as Mrs. Price in the San Francisco Playhouse production of Julie Herbert’s Tree. Her portrayal of the character’s dementia induced both shock and sympathy

CARRIE PAFF---STUPID FUCKING BIRD—SAN FRANCISCO PLAYHOUSE---She played the role of the stage and screen star Emma. She was superb in the role of a majestic and self-center actress.

REBECCA DINES ---FALLEN ANGELS—THEATREWORKS---. Rebecca dazzling in the role who seemed happy in her marriage.


SARAH OVERMAN---FALLEN ANGELS—THEATREWORKS---She gave a brilliant over the top performance as woman who had settled into a dull marriage.

KIMBERLY KING---THE COUNTRY HOUSE---THEATREWORKS---She gave a wonderful performance as the ageing Broadway actress Anna. She skillfully maintains a balance between an unfaltering and strong character and a woman heartbroken from the loss of her youth

MELANIE DUPUY---STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE—ROLE PLAYERS ENSEMBLE--- a wonderful compelling performance as Blanche DeBois. She captured the fragile spirit of the character


DESIREE ROGER---THE KID THING—NEW CONSERVATORY THEATRE CENTER---She was outstanding as Darcy and her tour de force of acting at the end when she reveals the real reason for resistance was powerful.

MONICA HO---IN LOVE AND WARCRAFT—CUSTOM MADE THEATRE COMPANY—She gave an engaging performance as Evie. Her wonderful, expressive face revealed Evie’s longings, pages and susceptibilities.

CARRIE PAFF---STAGE KISS---she was terrific as the actress. It is hard for this talented actress to become the world’s worst actress in both play-within-a-play.

There were many excellent actresses in production but they were too numerous to mention.
