media response

DEAR VIENNA

"a theatrical triumph on all counts. Lovingly delivered" … "Hamberg maintained just the right balance of seriousness and buffoonery.” 

Elias Stimac, OFF-OFF BROADWAY REVIEW

MADONNA AND CHILD AND OTHER DIVAS

"often-extraordinary acting and genuinely touching and thought-provoking moments"

Scott Harrah, SHOW BUSINESS

IDIOT'S DELIGHT

“Hamberg and her gifted ensemble get all the laughs honestly…slowly revealing the play’s warm and hopeful heart.”

Stan Richardson, NYTHEATRE.COM

DUCKS CROSSING

"Every aspect of the production is pretty much flawless"

"Ducks Crossing is the feel-good must-see comedy this town’s been waiting for."

Martin Denton, NYTHEATRE.COM

RAIN FROM HEAVEN

"Reckless Theatre's revival, staged by Julie Hamberg, demonstrates that Behrman’s low-key approach deserves another look.”
