“Steve Scott's lively presentation includes a wonderfully outré piece of gothic acting from the newcomer Kate Romond, who is making one heck of a splash in this festival.”

- Chris Jones / Chicago Tribune

“Romond is the one to watch. She has all the makings of a comedic genius and holds the audience riveted in her piercing glare.”

- William Scott / Stage

“Kate Romond, as the gawky Sarah Nancy, stops the show over and over again. From the moment she walks on stage with the deadpan, bored stare of a typical teenager, we can't help but howl. This is an actress of incredible range and power whom I hope to see in many more productions.”

- Betty Mohr / South Town Star

“In Blind Date, Foote’s 1985 one-act, Sarah Nancy (the intensely wonderful Kate Romond) cannot get past the first few minutes of a date with a boy. The interplay between Romond’s Sarah Nancy and Hale’s Felix was precious. Kate Romond is outstanding.”

- Tom Williams / Chicago Critic

"Having mentioned all of this, the show is nearly stolen by a trio of young actresses who are darn near perfect in their roles. Erin Neal's Varya, Lee Stark's Anya and Kate Romond's Dunyasha are so different and yet alike in their excellence. Their work alone makes one excited for the future of American theater.”

- Damien Jaques / Journal Sentinel, Milwaukee

“Vesta, portrayed by Kate Romond, a superb actress who can capture any moment and deservedly steal a scene, even before she utters a word, just with her eyes and facial expressions.”
