- New York Theatre Review

"Director Leta Tremblay is a fitting match to MacCarthy’s ferocious text."
- Theatre is Easy

Review for PORCUPINE

"Leta Tremblay’s direction helps put the real in surreal, and offers many suggestions for how to build a better world."

Selected Reviews for THE CITY THAT CRIED WOLF

"The population of “The City That Cried Wolf” may not live happily ever after, but theatergoers will leave with a smile."
-New York Times

"The shimmering vibrance of State of Play Productions’ 10-year-anniversary presentation... is due to the solid direction by Leta Tremblay. She incisively shepherds the enterprising, spot-on cast, design team and production crew to tease out the brilliance of the source material by Brooks Reeves. Together they just let it all gloriously shine."
-BlogCritics.org

"Tremblay’s direction keeps the changes flying fast, cleverly bouncing our focus around the small set well stocked with noirish sight gags."
-Plays to See


"Directed by Leta Tremblay... the time flies once you’re fully immersed in the story." 
-Woman Around Town


​"You'll laugh out loud at this fun and fascinating show... this is the one to see."

Selected Reviews for DI AND VIV AND ROSE

“A contemporary coming-of-age story from a purely female perspective that we so rarely get on stage."
-Plays To See

"The actors do all the set changes in full view... in this case the moving and fixing, and rearranging of props and furniture seem a graceful metaphor for the nesting and growing the characters themselves are doing, right before our eyes"
"They are stunningly real and consistently in the moment." 
-Front Row Center

"Director Leta Tremblay uses the small space nimbly ... the stage transforms with the years into a lived in college nest... The effect of creating something out of nothing on a stage, however, is not to be underestimated, and watching the actors interact in a space they created provided an even deeper connection to the material."
-New York Theatre Review

Selected Reviews for MRS. MAYFIELD'S FIFTH GRADE CLASS OF '93 20-YEAR REUNION

-The New York Times

Selected Reviews for CAUSE OF FAILURE

“A triumphantly sincere piece of theater.”

 "Director Leta Tremblay and her design team do an admirable job, especially under festival constraints, bringing the script’s various wild conceits to life."

“Weaver is putting her heart in your hands, and that’s the greatest gift any playwright can bestow.”
- nytheatre.com
