DATING GAMES:

"...credit original Gotham helmer Laura Josepher with maintaining the beautifully balanced rhythms of these engrossing encounters between various configurations of some monumentally needy contemporary folk. She is supported by a gifted four-member ensemble..."

-- Variety, 10/14/03

"Laura is a wonderful, wonderful actors' director. She makes the rehearsal room entirely safe, so everyone feels free to take chances, knowing it's just fine if you fail. And she's just amazing in the way she can talk to actors (and to the writer). You want to do well for her -- and that's a truly great thing to feel about a director."

--Garth Wingfield, Playwright, nytheatre.com, 5/31/03

"All five pieces are directed flawlessly by Laura Josepher, and feature acting at the tour de force level... Everything about this production bespeaks professionalism; this is off-off-Broadway at its best."

--nytheatre.com, 6/11/03

"Josepher's staging of Dating Games approaches conducting, with intensely orchestrated fast and slow movements; her very musical work often seems like an extension of the script ."

--Talkin' Broadway, 6/12/03

DIRTY BLONDE:

"Directed with muscular grace by Laura Josepher..."

"Director Laura Josepher handles this difficult form with wonderful control... These tricky transitions play smoother than Mae's curves, which is a credit to both Josepher's direction and the talented trio of actors."

-- The Daily Cougar, 03/25/03

"Director Laura Josepher... has a genuine feeling for the limits necessary to make the limitless Mae West a sympathetic character and to prevent the two young lovers from being overwhelmed by Mae the Icon."

-- Texas Triangle, 03/03

"Director Laura Josepher... keeps the action running smoothly through those shifting time frames."

-- Houston Chronicle, 03/03

CAR POOL:

"Under the precise direction of Laura Josepher, the production's excellent ensemble invests
(the play) with a dark, witty and immediate tension... The play skims ponderous waters. But Ms. Hembree and Ms. Josepher sustain a gentle wryness and quirkiness of detail that gives prototypes flesh and conquers tedium."

TOUCHING HOWARD THERE:

"The evening concludes, on a high note again, with Garth Wingfield's ingenious and funny romantic comedy Touching Howard There... (The cast) is terrific, as is Wingfield's deft writing and
Laura Josepher's nimble direction."
