What the Press is
saying about Sarah Ripard
“Sarah
Ripard’s Ophelia is a highly stylized, deeply
affecting, splendid performance that…gives so much
originality to her beleaguered character as to
invest it with truly memorable charisma. This is a
career acting highlight that is not to be missed.”
Richard Gist –
Aisle Say Washington/Baltimore-
Hamlet
“…Ripard, in the role
of Ophelia, exemplifies a wide variety of strong
acting skills...Her vocal and physical expressions
make the character come to life…Ripard successfully
creates a vivid character that captivates the
audience’s attention...
Sarah Ripard exhibits
outstanding acting ability in her final scenes.”
Elizabeth Audrey
Goldman –

“Broadway’s…Sarah
Ripard, who looks oddly like Gloria Swanson in
“Sunset Boulevard” is properly catty as gossip queen
Kitty De Souza.”
Howard Kessel –
New York
Daily News
– Bombay Dreams
“Broadway Theatre’s
…Sarah Ripard dressed and coifed like an overdone
Cindy Adams makes a sassy reporter.”
Joseph Cervelli –
Suburbanite
– Bombay Dreams
“Sarah Ripard’s
Rosalind seems truly liberated…the character and the
actress become more expansive and inventive. The
low-key Ripard, who sometimes speaks in little more
than a whisper, effortlessly nails the character’s
main trait-likability-but she also acts with modest
but unmistakable authority…”
Nelson Pressley –
The Washington Times – As You Like It
“…dazzles the
audience with extraordinary combination of beauty,
clarity and depth of feeling. Ripard emphasizes her
character’s delight in re-creating the sensual world
of dreams during waking hours.”
Jeanne Cooper –
The Washington Post – Dream of a Common Language
“…cheeky and
thoughtful, Sarah Ripard shines in the
play-within-the play as an icy actress who plays the
beleaguered heroine.”
Jeanne Cooper –
The Washington Post – Sweet Susanna
“The productions
greatest asset was Sarah Ripard as the Crane Wife…Ripard
had a feel for the elegance of Japanese ritual…her
expressions, gestures and understated line delivery
were moving and evocative.”
Robert Rivenbark –
Roanoke Times and World News
– The Crane Wife
“…his wife, Vilma, is
played by Sarah Ripard, a sophisticated beauty with
the right light dry touch for this sort of role.
Vilma is a complicated woman-patient, exasperated,
hurt and lonely, yet secretly nursing subversive
desires but Ripard gets to the heart of her.”
Lloyd Rose –
The Washington Post – A Tale of the Wolf
“As Gemma, Sarah
Ripard underplays her beautifully, allowing us to
clearly feel her character’s surprise and alarm at
the unintended consequences of her action.”
William Triplett –
The Washington Post – Cigarettes and Chocolate
“Ripard’s Mme. De
Tourvel is an Indian beauty in a modest sari, a tiny
silver cross at her throat. Ripard is virtuous
without being prim, and you see how the character’s
sensitive conscience is what dooms her.”
Lloyd Rose –
The Washington Post – Les Liaisons Dangereuses
*Helen Hayes Award
