Veronica's Room presented by Boho Theatre at Heartland Studio Theatre

Chicago Sun Times - Highly Recommended

"...Wellington brings a truly chilling edge to her role. Thomas is just malleable enough as her partner. And Ballou is ideal as a man who ... well, I've said enough. Just think of "Veronica's Room" as an early Halloween treat."

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...BoHo Theatre's production, directed by Charles Riffenburg, nicely balances Levin's blend of macabre horror and dark humor but fails to solve the play's underlying problem: the implausible premise that a smart college coed would get sucked into such a bizarre situation in the first place."

Time Out Chicago - Recommended

"...All of these hairpin turns could easily go awry if not as keenly calibrated as they are in Charles Riffenburg's confident production. Even as Levin's script stretches credulity further and further, Riffenburg and his crackerjack cast play it straight enough to keep us in as much suspense as the girl, played with chilling conviction by newcomer Amanda Jane Long; Sarah Wellington is also quite compelling as the older woman. In the cramped confines of Rogers Park's Heartland Studio, Veronica's Room is an effective, claustrophobically creepy locale."

"...It is not often that both the technical and performance aspects in the realm of theatre come together so flawlessly, but Veronica's Room is that rarity and further proves that BoHo has become one our finest companies to exist in this incredible city of exceptional theater."

"...What makes this show so compelling is that we "buy" into the girls sense of adventure that compels her impersonate Veronica against the advise of her boyfriend. Little does she know what evil lurks! This 85 minute journey into the macabre is well worth talking. The entire ensemble's performance are impeccable as they smoothly move from Irish brogues to American New England accents and from 1930′s to 1970′s language and idioms. Sarah Wellington's performance alone is worth getting to Rogers Park to see Veronica's Room."

Chicago Theatre Review - Highly Recommended

"...This production, following such impressive, masterfully mounted offerings as "Hauptmann," "Floyd Collins," "Kiss of the Spider Woman" and "The Rainmaker," proves again that BoHo Theatre, now in its 10th Season, is one of Chicago's most consistently fine Off-Loop theatre companies, and this early Halloween treat is definitely not a production to be missed."

Chicagoland Theater Reviews - Recommended

"...We don’t get many thrillers revived locally, the genre have been taken over almost exclusively by television and the movies. Devotees of the form will revel in the what’s-it-all-mean narrative and absorb the improbabilities as a legitimate part of the audience’s voyage through the bizarre 85 minutes. The action is splendidly reinforced by the claustrophobia the BoHo’s snug 30-seat theater induces. I don’t need to see “Veronica’s Room” again but I would be happy to watch the four performers repeatedly. They are the real deal. "
