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."

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."

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

Selected Reviews for CAUSE OF FAILURE
“A triumphantly sincere piece of theater.”

"The play stays dynamic and engaging through Ms Tremblay’s textured staging, using a combination of direct address, chorus work, realistic scenes, and fluid movement by Andrew Squier."

Selected Reviews for HANGMAN SCHOOL FOR GIRLS
"A daring, funny, frank exploration into group mentality and the pain of exclusion."
"All actors, under Leta Tremblay's direction, offer stellar performances that fully flesh out their social roles.”

- NYU News
"I thought this was a new piece by a young company, but it was so polished and professional I second-guessed myself….I was genuinely impressed."
- Cultural Capitol
"As for its directing, it is in fact at the top: the synchronicity of exaggerated movements, the concentration of the actors . . . and the bold usage of space make this a robust piece."
"It is very psychologically engrossing and for its directing and staging Girls deserves some recognition."
