Julius Caesar

“First rate handling of Shakespeare’s politically charged text…excellently interpreted and delivered with clarity and conviction…[in] Stryker’s ‘lean and hungry look’ assessment of Cassius.” -Broad Street Review

“Sarah Stryker plays Julius Caesar as both epitomizing these dynamics – the ultimate Mean Girl and Frat Bro – as well as demonstrating an effortless dominance over them. Caesar is always the center of attention whether mocking the “lean and hungry look” of Cassius…or laughing at the warnings of the soothsayer before giving them a casual smooch on the forehead, at once both conciliatory and condescending. Even Caesar’s appearance as a ghost ends with an insouciant finger-waggle goodbye.” -PlayShakespeare.com

Orlando

“Sarah Stryker stands out in the title role. Her transition of Orlando from impish boy poet to world weary feminist writer feels authentic. Her voice and body transform along with her character to demonstrate the differing performance expectations placed on Orlando depending on the social-historical context which he (and she) is placed in.” -Phindie

Sweat

“Stryker hits just the right notes in her drunk portrayal without going too far.  And then surprises as she reveals Jessie’s truly sweet and supportive nature, as well as her inner strength.” -Delco Culture Vulture
