from the 2006 Season

"OTMA" by Kate Moira Ryan and Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night"

"The two year old Lake George Theater Lab, directed by longtime Boltonite Lindsey Gates, delivered a well-written, strongly acted, and intimate drama that scored on several fronts."
     The Chronicle (Glenn Falls), July 20, 2006

"A thoughtful play, in an intimate setting, and well performed - actress and Bolton Landing regular Lindsey Gates' Lake George Theater Lab scored a base hit with its second-season opener in Bolton Landing."
     The Chronicle (Glenn Falls), July 20, 2006

"Actresses Kelly Hutchinson, Maria Thayer, Amy Ward and Ms. Gates, most of them Equity actors and all with serious movie, television and stage experience, which showed to great effect."
     The Chronicle (Glenn Falls), July 20, 2006

"The performances were inarguable, as was the material. This was a show I could easily imagine seeing in an Adirondack Theater Festival season, although Ms. Gates' company works on a far narrower shoestring than ATF."
     The Chronicle (Glenn Falls), July 20, 2006

"The acting by Maria Thayer, Kelly Hutchinson, Amy Ward and Lindsey Gates was strong; their interactions as sisters were intense and believable...The sisters argued, plotted, played, laughed and wept together. The physical interactions among the women, as the touched and hugged each otherm and the smoothness of their dialogue created emotional ranges of passsion, terror, tenderness, and humor. The production's ability to straddle that fine line between poignancy and humor was one of its crowning achievements. In less able hands, it could have rung false. This cast, under Barakiva's direction, slipped back and forth accross that line deftly."

"This production was like a gift to the town. As I looked around at the nice-sized crowd, at families sitting at picnic tables and couples on blankets at beach chairs, I saw that everyone's attention was riveted on the unpretentious production being staged before them. I was impressed to see small children paying careful attention...they're being exposed to the language of Shakespeare. Lindsey Gates deserves solid praise for making this happen - she and her company brought good theater, professionally acted, entertaining and free, to this park by the lake."
