What the Critics Said:
Beti’ 1999 Best - January 2000 - Humboldt Beacon -
Best Supporting Actress/Singer
in a Musical ….Monica Abrahamsen "Working"
Brenda Bishop - Times Standard - August 1999 -
"The brilliance of this
production is the ensemble work…….it is the tighest, labor-intensive, most
social group of performers and crew around Humboldt County. And for good reason.
Everything is interdependent in this show, every movement is a balance for the next
piece."
North Coast Journal - Barry Blake - August 1999 -
"Voices are most
effective in the ensemble, duets and trios, but Monica Abrahamsen’s sparky singing
about the acting necessary to be a good waitress (and this is a very physical
number),….are great solo moments."
Beti Traut - Humboldt Beacon -
"Thanks to the following actors: Monica
Abrahamsen…Working works."
