MARVIN'S ROOM: Actors Co-op, Los Angeles

*SCENIE AWARD Outstanding Lead Performance in a 20th Century Revival

“Tara Battani is very credible as Lee, emotionally taxed by a failed marriage that left her with two sons — and now she has a family in Florida with needs she isn’t prepared to meet. What a deliciously understated performance.” - LA Stage and Cinema

“O’Leary has the good fortune to be working with an excellent cast who know how to wring a tear or a smile – or both at the same time – from others. Kudos to Tara Battani and Francesca Casale as the sisters in the silent duel.” - LA Splash Mags

“Battani is once again stunning as a woman whose hard edges and tough talk hide a carefully protected heart.” - Stage Scene LA

“The venerable Actors Co-op Theatre Company, that also suffered the constraints of Covid, offered me the chance to review their new production of Marvin’s Room, that was shelved two years ago. And what a joy it is! (Also effective is) restless Tara Battani in a bristling performance.” - LA Theatre Notes
