2014 Connecticut Critics Circle Award "Outstanding Featured Actress in a Play"
Just a heads up that I am with new agents: Judy, Jenna, and Katie at
JUDY BOALS INC. (and still working with the ever industrious Carolyn at Anthony & Associates ) Plus brand new pictures are up at
IMDB and
Actors Access some of which are here.
Y'all working very hard right now, but hope you get your sleep and think of me for appropriate projects, drama and "Durang like" funny things!
is heart-breakingly stunning as the sad, frustrated Sonia, who in Durang's crisp, savage dialogue delivers some of the funniest and honest descriptions of despair and loneliness one may ever encounter on a stage ...the sly West brings the audience along on her character's transition into a wickedly modern riff on a Maggie Smith discovering her "prime." She also gets to transition...from Sonia's casual, laid-back wardrobe into a shimmering green gown complete with sequins. The actress also has the audience hanging on every word in a telephone call that Sonia receives, for which we only hear one side. The audible disappointment from some audience members at a certain point in the conversation indicates how much West has enabled us to invest into her character." EXAMINER.COM
"...Caryn West's deliciously dejected Sonia..." (in Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike at Hartford Stage, and
the 2014 Connecticut Critics Circle Award winner for "Outstanding Featured Actress in a Play" amidst nominations for very fine NYC actors in our cast , others in the Hartford Stage, Yale Rep, Long Wharf, Goodspeed Opera, Theaterworks/Hartford seasons etc)
