 The Fierce Urgency of NowThe tender moments weathering Dodo’s illness, sage advice from an old salt to a young whipper-snapper, etc… were sublime. This was in no small part due to the excellent portrayal of the been-there-done-that characterization by Carole Monferdini as the last surviving member of the four martini lunch days in advertising. Ms. Monferdini, with little effort, became the only thing on stage with little more than a line ending in “darlin” or a tiny tilt of her coiffe.

Outer Stage |  I Hate HamletCarole Monferdini has the best costumes including a lace evening gown and she wears them with style and magnificence. Playing an older woman, she manages to bring the necessary glamor to the part and she makes work what shouldn't work. In other words, she is divine.

Outstanding in this production is a superb Carole Monferdini as the talent agent who just knows she left a hatpin in this apartment some decades before.

Berkshire on Stage |  I Hate HamletMonferdini was a real find, a precious jewel plucked from the gems surrounding her. Her Teutonic, sardonic take on Lillian was spot on, right down to the delivery of one signature stereotype zinger after another. But what impressed most through all the laughs was a smoldering sensuality from what was the story's oldest "living" character. Oh my. Oh yes.

 Full Gallop". . .a one-woman tour de force with Carole Monferdini, who performed the same role to acclaim off-Broadway. . .Monferdini is masterful as Vreeland, and has a commanding presence that seems tough to top." -- Sally Friedman
Burlington County Times |  Full Gallop"Monferdini perfectly captures the over-the-top aesthete. Her movements, her language, her ideas all seem large than life, but completely honest." --Au Courant |  Aaronville Dawning"Obie-award winner Carole Monferdini plays eighty-something Lemy Babin Caldwell, as she prepares the funeral food for her childhood friend...Monferdini is wholly convincing in this role; the audience travels with her through her character's joys and sorrows, and this subtle actor's standing ovation was heart-felt and richly deserved."
