Doris in “Same Time, Next Year”
Reviews in the Press
-
"Ann Marie Taglavore is quite striking in her role as Doris. From the moment she awakens in the bed in the very first scene right through to their final hug, you can’t help but be fascinated by her performance."
- Amanda N. Gunther, Theatre Bloom

"Taglavore and Said were flawless and their pairing made for a spectacular performance. Their teamwork and chemistry were superb, seamlessly portraying their characters’ aging over 25 years."
- Julia Tucker, MD Theatre Guide
-
"...you can feel her fiery rage splashing all over the place. There’s this unnamable and effortless ease with which Taglavore portrays her character’s emotions whilst staying simultaneously grounded in the reality of their situation. Versatile and engaging, you find herself wanting to delve into her half of the story with every word she says"
- Amanda N. Gunther, Theatre Bloom

"Taglavore sharply portrayed anger and guilt in several scenes with Said, and her stunned expressions conveyed surprise during unexpected moments. She also demonstrated very entertaining comedic, physical acting. Taglavore’s gestures accented her speech and her charismatic stage presence was a delight."
- Julia Tucker, MD Theatre Guide
-
"Taglavore is settled readily into the 1950’s cadence and patois from jump street and adjusts her manner of speaking, though only subtly for most of the show’s temporal progression. Taglavore does a phenomenal job of transitioning her character through the sweeps of time that pass in the play. When she hits 1965 (scene 4) there’s a hipness about her, a groovy vibe that infiltrates everything from the way she speaks to the way she moves around the stage.
