"Every performance is first
rate!"
 From The
Deseret Morning News...
"My palms almost began sweating as I watched the very
uncomfortable Catherine being pushed to her limits by her
strong, even domineering, father, Dr. Sloper. Thomas
Carson is great in the role of protective but disappointed
parent, a distinguished but lonely man." (Read

"The
Heiress is tricky
to talk about without giving away too much. But I left the
theater thinking about one line:
Is finding someone to
love and being loved the same thing?"
From
The Salt Lake Tribune...
"Ruth and
Augustus Goetz based The
Heiress on Henry James' Washington Square, and
few writers were better at deciphering the human heart with
all its joy, pain, and complexity than James....Pioneer's
intelligent, multilayered production gives [the characters]
resonant life."(Read

"Every performance is first
rate.
Effie Johnson's Catherine transitions effortlessly from
anxious self-consciousness through infatuated vulnerability
to steely composure."
From
Salt Lake City Weekly...
"I must admit: What little I knew going into The Heiress,
currently playing at Pioneer Theatre Company, did not inspire
high expectations....Fortunately, I was wrong."
(Read
more...) The familiar plot setup does not resolve in any
of the predictable ways I feared throughout the first act. The
characters evolve naturally according to their individual
makeups and experiences rather than out of didactic authorial
convenience."
From
Salt Lake Magazine...
"I'll cop to being a might skeptical going into the Pioneer
Theatre Company's latest production. I had little doubt about
the performances or the sets, but I didn't know if an
adaptation of Henry James' Washington Square would be
quite my thing, given that I'm a typical ADD-afflicted kid of
the '80s. (Read
more...) "I'm
happy to report that my skepticism was unfounded!"
