Sense and Sensibility
“Laura Standley directs Hamill’s adaptation with intelligence as well as humor. She allows Austen’s story to be enhanced by elements from Monty Python, Edward Albee and Eugene Ionesco. The crew is adept, the actors are talented and both exhibit perfect timing. It is the perfection of timing in all aspects that makes the show beyond excellent. It is brilliantly done in all respects.”
Elizabeth Hurd, The Daily Oklahoman
Or
“The characters [Laura Standley] brings to life give us a clear insight into the historical period, the historical personages and the triumph of liberty and libertines!”
“The three marvelous actors bring Standley’s vision to life on a magically marvelous set in the smallish Paseo space.”
“Or” is a knockout excellent production with superb performances from everyone.”
Elizabeth Hurd, The Daily Oklahoman
Scenes From an Execution
“Scenes from an Execution” is a complex story, painted beautifully by Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park at their Paseo location.”
“[The] production is directed with deftness and subtlety by Laura Standley.” “The show uses the confined space as the broad canvas that is its subject, and the audience follows the actors as they paint back and forth across the room.”
“If you are an artist or love any form of art and its creation, see this show. It will follow you long after you leave the theatre.”
Anna Holloway, The Daily Oklahoman
Burn This
"Just like '80s fashion, Lanford Wilson's 1987 playBurn This is making a respectable comeback in modern-day New York."
"A strong cast of four bounce, slink, and drag themselves around the 40-seat Manhattan Theatre Source space in legwarmers, Pac-Man T-shirts, and oversize sweaters."
"This revival makes it clear that the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright crafted a timeless piece about art, society, illusion, and love."
"This little slice of 1987 is well worth revisiting."
Kerri Allen, Backstage
Lobby Hero
"As the play progresses each character confronts an ethical dilemma about the importance and nature of honesty ...Not the stuff of comedy, one might think, but director Laura Standley leads her cast through the heavy content with an appropriately light touch."

Pump Boys and Dinettes
"If only the producers of the Broadway flop Ring of Fire had consulted the team behind the amiable and energetic production of Pump Boys and Dinettes..."
"This entire world functions beautifully under the direction of Laura Standley. There is a satisfying smack of inspiration here."
"This fantastic revival might be suited to a small off-Broadway house with a big, open heart and a nice, clear schedule."
