Production Reviews
Midsummer (A Play with Songs), Theaterworks Hartford
“I was carried away by this TheatreWorks production, directed by Tracy Brigden with an awareness of the sweetness inside this spiked candy of a play.”
“Yes, Hand to God is as funny as you've heard, and if you haven't heard, you must live too far away from the South Side to hear the gales of laughter. But "gales" isn't strong enough — make it tornadoes.”
“…credit the actors and protean director Tracy Brigden (is there anything she can't direct?)...”
About The Monster in the Hall →
“Tracy Brigden does breathtaking work as the director. Moving in lockstep with Greig's purpose, she's fashioned a show in which the individual parts are just as remarkable as the solid whole.”
“And thanks to six disarmingly powerful portrayals and Tracy Brigden's detail-oriented direction, this production makes impeccably clear why this classic play is still so urgently important. It feels like the kind of interpretation that Sir Tyrone Guthrie had in mind when he first hung out his shingle here in the center of North America.”
About A Doll's House, Part 2 →
“The play has much to say about equality, sexism, married life and the different ways people define freedom - all themes that come clearly to the fore in Tracy Bridgen's electrifying direction.”
“Blackbird is a brutally honest play and this near perfect production is a very fulfilling and thought provoking evening of theatre. Congratulations to Tracy Brigden and the City Theatre for one of the highlights of the theatre season in Pittsburgh.”
“Director Tracy Brigden puts on one hell of a show.”
