"Some of the best moments take place not in the dialogue so much as the glances exchanged between characters. Dozens of emotions dance across Olivia Rorick's face as she moves from flirtation and coy to overly tough to heart breathtakingly vulnerable. Rorick knows exactly how to play each moment with such a conviction as to make you believe that shes lived in the skin of this character for a very long time." Karen Tortora-Lee The Happiest Medium

"...rookie cop, Dawn (Olivia Rorick [is] affecting" - New York Times

"I took particular note of...Olivia Rorick, a tough lesbian who does battle for her woman" - Martin Denton nytheatre.com

"Rorick delivers a particularly strong performance as Ruth, the most heartfelt of the characters."

- Weston Clay Theatre is Easy

"Olivia Rorick (Ruth) [is] particularly stunning, drawing the audience deeper into the dark, mystical world."

- Joanna Bowzer New York Theatre Review Blogspot

"the luminous Olivia Rorick"

- Gwen Orel Backstage

"Rorick particularly does a brilliant job of portraying a deeply layered rich character" - Terra Vetter Theatre is Easy

"Olivia Rorick, who plays Ruth is probably the biggest surprise" - Maria Micheles nytheatre.com

"Rorick powerfully portrays Ruth’s desperation and pain" - Miriam Rinn The Jewish Standard
