Photography & EPK use for say it! - Romeo and Juliet, Part 1

"Delightfully creative...surprisingly easy to follow and consistently hilarious. No show I attended had such an electric energy in the audience as this." 

-Kingston Theatre Alliance

"Schindel herself is a masterful performer, not only in how she guides the audience through her show, but in her performance of the text itself. She easily changes between characters while also ensuring the rest of her company is being taken care of."

- A View From the Box, Toronto

Grade: A. Meticulously crafted and thoughtfully designed. Dana Schindel sets a safe and accessible tone for her audience to have a great time approaching something that often intimidates people. Aa fantastic time."

- My Entertainment World, Toronto

"Dana Schindel is such an inviting performer who can make even the most participation-averse spectators feel welcomed and willing to set their inhibitions aside. 

- NEXT Magazine, Toronto 

It has been a long time since a new take on Shakespeare delighted me as much as this one! At some point in the show, between the speeches and the fluttering eyelashes and everyone yelling along, you'll realize how much incredible work Schindel is doing and somehow making it look effortless. She's a master of the text, making it come alive without missing a beat or a cue. Truly, a delight to take part in this one.

“While the eponymous character is central to the story, this is a true ensemble piece and therefore hard to single out individual performances. Perhaps the exceptions are Charmaine Sibande who arguably has the most to do as the third Emilia exhibiting controlled rage and Dana Schindel is hilarious as Susan Bertie, Emilia’s early mentor.”

– John Jane, Review Vancouver 

“In a wonderful scene, [Emilia] and some other young ladies are given ‘dance’ lessons [by Dana Schindel’s Countess Susan Bertie]. The dance they learn is to flatter men, look feminine and helpless, so as attract a husband. […] Stirring, first-rate work from United Players.” 

– Vancouver Plays

“There’s a force blowing off the stage in director Lois Anderson’s production of Emilia. It feels like a stiff, invigorating wind. In fact, it’s a combination of confidence and fury. […] In the final image, when the players all face the audience and sing directly to us, it’s stirring. And it speaks to the greatest strength of this production: the embodiment of solidarity.”
