Real Jean in RESCUE ME

Gale Sawicki in THE LEFTOVERS

Dorothy in ROUND TRIP

"...upfront, personal and real ... vibrating with life."
"...brilliant piece of work."
Margrethe in COPENHAGEN

“…expertly conveys the Southern belle charm that allows the audience to believe that, yes, there was a time when no fewer than 17 men showed up at her door one afternoon."
-Peter Filichia/The Star Ledger
Amanda in THE GLASS MENAGERIE

“As Marta, Mary Ann Hay is strong." ~ Brian Wallace/Edge
“…obviously strikes a nerve.” - Mel House/nytheatre.com

"As Miss Maudie, Hay wields a sharp tongue and a wise heart that stands at odds with her neighbors' ignorance and hypocrisy."

"Mary Ann Hay, who plays MAUDE ATKINSON...has a quiet charm...and never seems to be acting..."
- Peter Filichia/The Star Ledger
Miss Maudie in TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD

"The adult that does deserve compassion is Juliet's Nurse (Mary Ann Hay.) Her deep love and heart wrenching-sorrow at Juliet's death are palpable and moving. Hay also does a credible turn in the Nurse's comic scenes."
- Cynthia O.Topps/Times Herald-Record
Nurse in ROMEO & JULIET

"…a potent MAUREEN...gets the most out of her dialogue...Is she genuinely mad? Hay keeps her audience guessing until the final Curtain."
