Review of Ann Marie as Myra Bruhl in "Deathtrap"
"Ann Marie King's performance as Myra Bruhl, the dutiful wife of Sidney, was filled with nuance and control of the genre. She balances the comedic and mysterious while coaxing her husband to be more aggressive with Clifford. Her scene following the first murder played with ethos and aplomb." - DASH Consultant Matthew Garlin

Review of Ann Marie as Peg in "Peg 'O My Heart" by Shera Cohen in Bravo:
"...It was Ann Marie King who stole the show and our hearts as the effervescent, expressive, and quintessential Peg. Almost Shirley Temple-ish in her demeanor and sincerity, with big eyes darting this way and that...that is an actress to watch."

Review of Ann Marie as Peg in "Peg 'O My Heart" by Christine Anne Piesyk in The Chicopee Herald:
"Peg (Ann Marie King) is a no nonsense lass whose unabashed charm and wit, and outspoken ways scandalized her prim and proper hosts while delighting her unknown guardian and new found love, Jerry (Mark Lehouiller). Peg and Jerry are perfectly matched, bringing charm, romance and perfect sweetness to their roles."

Review of Ann Marie in "Shakespeare Sonnet-Thon" by Carl Rossi on Theatermirror:
"Ann Marie King's bubbling tones in No. 149 reminded me of her hilarious Sybil in the Theatre on the Hill's little-seen PRIVATE LIVES ("Oh, Elyot!").

Review of Ann Marie as Maggie in "Lend Me a Tenor" by Helen Boissonneault in The Chicopee Herald:
"...Ann Marie King was the exact personification of the naively impressionable Maggie, smitten with the unknowing Tito, and so yearning for a romantic "fling" that she would brush off Max as a prospective suitor." "....If ever there was a cure for the winter doldrums, it is laughter-and multiple gales of laughter is what you will be tendered by the talented cast of 'Lend Me a Tenor.'"

Review of Ann Marie as Bianca in Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" by Paul Browning:
"...Bianca is a difficult role...she's such a mixture of coyness, nastiness, and endearing vivacity. You have captured the character of this complex woman and given the play a unique aspect through your Bianca. Thank you for being a part of our "Taming of the Shrew."
