Of REDBIRD - a festival of new one-act plays by North Carolina playwrights:

"Redbird’s consummate technical designs, including versatile work with projections, thoughtful costumes, and effective sound design added depth to the texts especially meaningful to local North Carolinians." Spencer Powell, CVNC

"... a worthy programming idea that should become a regular ArtsCenter feature." Roy Dicks, Raleigh News & Observer

"Casey is one of those protean artists who explore every aspect–she’s acted, sung, written, directed, designed and criticized–and now dreamed up and co-produced a festival of new one-act plays by North Carolinians ... (T)he REDBIRD festival strikes me as marking a significant step forward in our cultural growth ... three hours of exhilarating, artful theatre." Kate Dobbs Ariail, The Five Points Star


Of In the Doghouse: "Equally surreal--and most compelling of all--is the sequence where Dorrie Casey, playing an enigmatic old woman of the Russian streets, serenades Mikhail Dostoevsky. . . ." Byron Woods, Independent


Of Europe Central: "As Hilde Benjamin, Dorrie Casey [was] 'terrifyingly intense.'"Roy Dicks, Raleigh News and Observer

and

"Dorrie Casey's Act Two monologue as Judge Benjamin was particularly moving. . ." Byron Woods, Independent

and

"[Dorrie Casey] exhibits all the creepiness necessary. . .a dark eminence grise [which] supplies the play with needed deep shadows. . . " Kate Dobbs Ariail, Classical Voice of North Carolina.

Of my show Vincent: "informative and engaging from start to finish. . .Casey sang radiantly. . .the sum total was a beautifully integrated show to which I pay the highest compliment. . . " John W. Lambert, Classical Voice of North Carolina.


Of Servant of Two Masters:  "Dorrie Casey is a hoot as Silvio's mother, Dottor Lombardi, whirling around in her cloak and whapping everyone in the face with her horizontally positioned hat feathers. " Kate Dobbs Ariail, Classical Voice of North Carolina.

And then of course there's
"Beyond my wildest dreams ..." Arlene Shrut
