"The most powerful presence is Lindsey Marlin as Eva's mother, Helga. Convincingly placing her character into a particular time and social class, she conveys both her inner anguish and her need to mask it from her child. She has fewer lines but makes the most of them; in fact, in the play's most haunting moment, she doesn't speak a word, but merely lurks in the shadows, a ghost from the past."
-Kerry Lengel, "The Arizona Republic" (Kindertransport)
"I think you're one of the most talented actresses I've ever worked with and I'm lucky you came out to my audition months ago. If not for you, Doll Maker wouldn't be as good as it is and Hung Out To Dry would never have been as cool an experience. I'm excited to see it come together and seeing you hold your own against Louis Mandylor was great. You're an amazing actress with great range, vocal talent and a great natural ability, and it doesn't hurt that you're beautiful."
-Jared Shelton, "Shelton and Hill Productions" (Doll Maker, Hung Out To Dry)
"Director Daniel Schay has assembled an excellent cast to fill in the human dimensions of playwright Alfred Uhry's themes. [The men] are all solid, but this script gives the women the spotlight, including Lindsey Marlin as the conflicted Sunny and Athena Hunting as her ditzy mother."
-Kerry Lengel, "The Arizona Republic" (The Last Night of Ballyhoo)
"The Pursuit of Happiness is 100 percent entertaining...a superb local cast fires his [playwright Richard Dresser's] verbal shots with deadly accuracy...Katie McFadzen and Lindsey Marlin turn friction into fire as the neurotic mom and rebellious daughter, Jodi..."
-Kerry Lengel, "The Arizona Republic" (The Pursuit of Happiness)
"I know I told Lindsey this today, but there was only ONE word my crew used to describe her - from our make-up artist to our guest graphic director - AMAZING. As my instructional designer said, "I don't know what you paid her, but she was WORTH it!" That says it all. We're thrilled."
-Diane Senffner, "CineLearning Productions" (WIC Listens)
"I watched your brilliant performance in Stabbing Stupidity. It turned out beautifully...The comments on your performance continue to be nothing short of raves. Thanks again for sharing your talents with us."
-Steve Briscoe, producer/actor/writer (Stabbing Stupidity)
"The ensemble is also invested in their characters. Marlin and [Tod] Zimmerman have a nice bond that grows frayed through the evening. Marlin’s conversion of Beth is slow but insidious, a change not only in beliefs, but vocal patterns and gait...This is a strong show throughout..."
-Mark S.P. Turvin, "Goldfish Publishers" (Bluish)
"As for the acting, it's simple and always truthful. All eight performers give on-the-money portrayals, switching from character to character without losing track of the through line. I'm hesitant to pick favorites, but...kudos to Marlin, especially in the role of policewoman Reggie Fluty."
-Robert Nott, "The New Mexican" (The Laramie Project)
"The acting is uniformly good...Marlin is a sure but still-tortured Isabella, conscious of the difficult choice she has to make..."
-Robert Nott, "The New Mexican" (Measure for Measure)
"Among the standouts are Lindsey Marlin as the first officer at the crime scene..."
-Jackie Demaline, "The Cincinnati Enquirer" (The Laramie Project)
"Shining performances come from Lindsey Marlin as an unruly convict woman...Outstanding featured performance, local actress..."
-Jackie Demaline, "The Cincinnati Enquirer" (Our Country's Good)
"Marlin skillfully sketches then fleshes out a Delia who is as supercilious and self-content as her cosseted upbringing in haute suburbia could make her."
-Tom McElfresh, "Citybeat" (Glimmer, Glimmer & Shine)
"Lindsey Marlin stands on a par with these actors in the role of Delia...Marlin maintains Delia's cool confidence and high-class tastes while thrilling to discover music and invest in reforming Jordan."
-Laura C. Kelley, "Aisle Say Cincinnati" (Glimmer, Glimmer & Shine)
"First among the actors is Lindsey Marlin as Rosalind. She is all smarts and spunk as she becomes one of the merry men of the forest. She dissects the nature of love with her suitor Orlando and ascertains his true affection...Ms. Marlin and Mr. [David] Zelina deliver the heartfelt moments..."
-Joseph McDonough, "The Cincinnati Enquirer" (As You Like It)
