“Russ B. Walker and Kristi Taylor, who portrayed Mr. Jenkins and Sally Chessington respectively, brought new urgency and silliness into play. Though both were on quite different journeys throughout the play, Walker and Taylor kept the joint lively in all of their scenes. Mr. Jenkins’ sparkly tie was a special touch and caught my attention. Sally was a very maternal source of some comfort the crazier things got…until it got so crazy even her she seemed in need of her mommy!”
Cash On Delivery Review from John Garcia’s The Column (2015)
“Crazy Aunt Bella, played hilariously by Kristi Taylor, steals the show. Never once breaking character, Taylor has perfected the fidgeting, nerves, and compassion of Bella that Neil Simon had in mind. Her whole body shakes with excitement as she slowly goes from normal to crazy. Bella is the sole character throughout the play that teaches what family is really about. It was during her last two monologues that tears were streaming down my face as Bella explains how dysfunctional her family is, but that love can repair it all. Taylor’s presence fills the stage and I couldn’t wait to see her come back on stage each time.”
Lost in Yonkers Review from John Garcia’s The Column (2014)
“Kristi Taylor portrayed Nurse with a lighter comedic flair than I’d seen from other actresses. Taylor’s timing was spot on, her understanding of when to push a line or pull back precise, and her character’s love of Juliet and, surprisingly, Romeo was real and without pretense. Taylor is a large woman and I was impressed that she not only knew her body but also how to use it for the greatest comedic or dramatic impact.”
