Sister Cities, by Colette Freedman

"Wise, warm, and full of heart and humor, Sister Cities by Colette Freedman is one of the best new plays of the season. The New York premiere at T. Schreiber Studio is splendid, featuring expert, detailed direction by Cat Parker…"

Cat Parker directs a polished and natural all female ensemble in this character driven serio-comic drama about sisterhood.

Picasso at the Lapin Agile, by Steve Martin

"…I was in especial appreciation of Cat Parker's brilliant direction: she punctuated every pun and superbly set up every joke."

"Cat Parker's production of Picasso at the Lapin Agile for T. Schreiber Studio is superb, nicely balancing the antic comedy with the script's authentic seriousness of purpose to produce an evening that's enormously entertaining and full of wonder.

"Cat Parker's direction is excellent, with clever blocking that makes the punctilious puns of this play seem more natural…"

"Director Cat Parker proves adept both at the over-the-top humor and the moments of quiet wonder that Martin has created in his play."

Laughter on the 23rd Floor, Neil Simon, Oklahoma City Rep, Spring 2004

"This City Rep production of Laughter on the 23rd Floor is absolutely first rate. You're not likely to find a better-delivered Simon performance anywhere in the country. Cat Parker directed the show with not only a fine sense of how to pace the comic repartee for best results but also with a true feeling for the serious issues underlying the comedy. In the confined area of the small theater she manages to use the spare set and simple costuming to suggest far more than what appears before the audience, the mark of how a superb director works creatively within confines."
                                                                                                                                          - Clif Warren

"And Simon's balancing act, just enough pathos to remind you why these people love what they do, is difficult to describe, let alone express, but director Catrin Parker pulls it off deftly."

Appointment with Death, by Agatha Christie

"Under the astute direction of Catrin Parker, Agatha Christie's Appointment with Death scores at the Dorset Theatre Festival. It's one of her best plays, engrossing and amusing through the last surprising moments."
                                                                                                                                     - Bob Rose, The Post Star

"Catrin Parker's direction (of Appointment with Death) is right on target…"
