Critics Praise for LOUNGE

Colin Thomas, The Georgia Straight

"quietly vunerable....it's hypnotizing. Marquardt presents the chanteuse with a combination of pain and girlish cover-up; the performers considerable beauty helps to make this intriguing."


Jo Ledingham, The Vancouver Courier

"Tanya Marquardt. Remember that name. She's going to be a star."


Rob Salerno, Xtra West

"This play will seduce you..."


Michael Harris, The Globe and Mail

" Tanya Marquardt's one woman show about an unnamed singer just stopping in town for a gig has all the hallmarks of a gin-soaked, down-and-out lounge act...one of the more physically striking young actresses in town."
