PERFORMANCE

"Actor, improviser, writer, singer, dancer, and choreographer, Carisa Barreca is one to watch!"

-Chicago Theater Review

"Barreca, who so confidently rides the razor’s edge between bubbly and deranged, shines!"

-TimeOut Chicago
"The break-out performance belongs to Barreca. Her facial expressions and comedic timing hit the mark and her humor feels warm and less cynical. It’s the human equivalent of spiked eggnog – sweet and intoxicating."

- Chicago SunTimes
"With a wit and physicality that recall Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett, Carisa was a more than welcome addition to any scene she was in."

-Third Coast Review
"Barreca, a bona fide singer and choreographer as well as a comic actress, is hilarious."

-Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
"Barreca lulls an audience into a false sense of security, only to pounce with her panther-like comedy reflexes and her razor-sharp wit."
