QUOTES
from "Das Barbecu"
"But then, despite
being surrounded by all this talent, the diminutive Kathy St. George constantly bounces to
the top. She's a Holly Hunter-style firecracker of an actress, who seems born to play
these kind of cabaret roles. Her Texas twang sounds both funny and authentic to this
Yankee, and her gift for slipping into a variety of characters is astounding and
delightful. Even throughout all the ridiculous machinations of the plot, there's an
emotional honesty and integrity at the core of her characters."
Alexander
Stevens CNC Arts Writer May 11, 2000
"St. George, long
a local favorite, is hysteric-inducing as the fork-tongued Fricka, dressed in a red
trapeze frock over red tights, with cowboy hat to match. She's later transformed into
a prune-faced old lady straight out of American Gothic, after a hot stint as a black-clad
disco back-up singer."

"Kathy St. George
is a spunky wife, a creaky old lady, and many more characters, but she steals the show in
a little number called 'Guacamole'."
Beverly
Creasey Theater Mirror May 12, 2000
"All five actors
… prove themselves versatile, amiable, and funny. Among the evening's highlights
are St. George's impersonation of Fricka, Wotan's waspish, long-suffering
wife."
Ellen
Pfeifer Boston Globe May 10, 2000
"Kathy St. George
again proves why she's one of the city's hidden musical treasures in a series of
smaller roles, including a shrewish Fricka, Wotan's wife."
Robert
Nesti Arts/Bay Windows May 11, 2000
"Kathy St.
George, who takes on lonely bitch goddess Fricka and gypsy earth mother Erda among other
roles, proves as personable as always, with comic timing on a par with her pipes."
Carolyn Clay Boston Phoenix May 12, 2000
