As Aumerle in Shakespeare in the Parking Lot Shakespeare-a-thon's production of Regina II (adapted from Richard II) (also played Falstaff in Henry IV, Part 1 and 2) in Tacoma, WA - April 23, 2010:
"Claudette Hatcher made a delightfully mad and sycophantic Aumerele"
~ News Tribune
As Katisha in the NW Savoyards' production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Mikado" in Everett, WA - March 5-21, 2010:
"Claudette Hatcher plays Katisha, a vengeful woman whose voice will blow you away. And no wonder, since she’s professional opera singer. Her stage time is brief but very memorable."
~ Mukilteo Beacon
"...somehow, the Savoyards managed to find (this) flawless voice...taking this production beyond just wicked fun to wicked good."..."Claudette Hatcher is the not-to-be-messed-with Katisha,...whose version of “Alone and Yet Alive” will give you chills."
~ Everett Herald
As the Widow Corney in the NW Savoyards production of "Oliver" in Everett, WA - Oct 17-Nov 1, 2009:
"...Claudette Hatcher absolutely upped the ante on devilish, absolutely upped the ante on devilish"
~ Everett Herald
