"There’s nice work, too, from The New Collectives’ artistic director Giverny Petitmermet as the politician Escalus, trying hard to put her thumb on the scale in favor of justice."

THE WITCHES:
"Not every actor is equipped to do Shakespeare. Fortunately, the ensemble of The Witches was more than capable. The sextet tackled the dialogue with ease. While Macbeth is the focal character of the source material, it was the witches in this production that stood out. They were in sync as a unit but when they broke out into characters, they shined individually. The soulful Giverny Petitmermet captured the robustness of Lady Macbeth. Petitmermet’s resonance gave the character much power and passion. "

WAKE:
“An extraordinary ensemble of 15 actors bring the play's characters to vivid life, creating characters who are richly human and enormously memorable...Contributing mightily in various smaller roles (doubling and/or tripling in them) are Ryan Wesley Brown, Mara Gannon, Rebecca Davis, Cody Magouirk, Giverny Petitmermet, Barry Rowell, and co-director David Vining (very funny in a couple of cameos). This company is doing work here that's breathtakingly good.”

Playboy of the Western World:
“I felt particularly impressed with the three town girls played by Claire Byrne, Kate DiMarco, and Giverny Petitmermet. They are so excitable, so eccentric, so BIG that their performances could have easily seemed ridiculous, but they somehow make "big" look like "natural" so that the characters looked (rightly) ridiculous, not the performers.”
