Noelle Holly
theatre buzz...
about Hortensio and the Merchant in The Taming of the Shrew, Walking the dog Theater
"...the play's the thing - and it's a rousing success. There's more energy in this production than in most
Broadway musicals. And the performers handle Shakespeare's words with considerable panache and style.
Standouts in the ensemble cast include... Noelle Holly in two different and very funny roles.  Their
production of the Taming of the Shrew is
one of the most pleasant diversions you'll find on area
stages this year
. "
--Review by Bruce Hallenbeck, www.RadioAlbany.com

"
A smash hit - a must see production - perfectly cast.  Noelle Holly was just right as Hortensio and
Merchant. One cannot stress enough the comic genius of Shakespeare in this riotous work.  It is
full of the
most wonderful side-splitting humor
and more than two hours of laughter. "

tough sexuality
.”
--Kerrie Smith, TheatreScene

“…the female actors…are
a breath of fresh air in the testosterone-driven quarrels between the men.  They

about Laura in The Glass Menagerie, Tennessee Repertory Theater
“Holly imbues [Laura] with an odd cracked-voice spunkiness and an off-beat sense of humor. In this play,
Laura is
truly peculiar, and in the final analysis, it works. ”
