Best Leading Actress, Comedy…Monica Abrahamsen "The
Dining Room"

March 1999 - Brenda Bishop - Times Standard - "Monica Abrahamsen
is another actor whose quality and range

Beti Traut - Humboldt Beacon - "When you see this show you will
understand why it is not as widely produced. Don’t misunderstand. It’s not
because of the quality of the script; it is because it’s hellishly difficult to do,
and do it right. ……The Dining Room needs six good actors who can play multiple
roles and ages….Luckily the NCRT production has all of the above. The strong
and versatile cast consists of Monica Abrahamsen……"
