As Olivia in Twelfth Night, “Maggie Gillette is perfect as the elegant aristocrat who disdains the Count but increasingly throws herself at his courtier. Gillette's shifting demeanor is nicely nuanced, a reminder that comic action need not be overplayed to be effective."

- Barbara Adams, The Ithaca Times

REVIEWS

In her performance of Seussical the Musical, "Maggie Gillette shined as his pinning next-door neighbor, Gertrude McFuzz and was lovely in her lovesick and hopeful songs. Ms. Gillette's goofy, hipster sensibility (loved the Ukulele!) paired well with Mr. Newey's oblivious, but loving pachyderm."

- Joseph Harrison, Broadway World Connecticut
