Laurey in Oklahoma!

"Theatergoers can only hope to see and hear more of Patricia Comstock."
 - Dover Post

 
Dymphna in Prince Trevor Amongst the Elephants
 
"Patricia Comstock is amusing as 'Dymphna, a Slut.'"
 - TheaterMania, Dan Bacalzo
Kate in Taming of the Shrew

"Patricia Comstock is an absolute marvel as the play's heroine, Katharina. From the moment she comes charging out on stage, she is filled with fiery rage and defiance. As the show progresses, she still maintains that steadfast level of intensity and strength even as she is being 'tamed' down."
 - Oberlin Review, Michelle Chang

Stephano in The Tempest

"Patricia Comstock as Stephano... offer[s] intriguing physical comedy..."
 - New York Blade, Solomon Singer


Penelope/Seamen in Homer's Odyssey in Puppets

"'Homer's Odyssey' features intrepid actors -- Joanna Cole, Patricia Comstock, Brad Malow, Tara Taylor and Hilary Weissberg, in addition to Mr. Sperry -- who create an atmosphere of inspired lunacy. While they may not actually induce your children to eat their vegetables, they may well whet their appetites for epic poetry."
 - New York Times, Laurel Graeber

Whore in Hello Again

"The whore, played by college sophomore Patricia Comstock, has a beautiful voice... She was a good whore; even her eyes sparkled and beckoned."
 - Oberlin Review, Laren Rusin

Chorus Leader in Women of Troy

"The power of Hecuba is not hers alone... The effect of [Hecuba's] performance is doubled, if not tripled, by the chorus. The chorus is arguably the main character... Constantly in motion, always on stage, sometimes dancing, frequently beating their breasts in agony, the chorus is the punctuation for every spoken line in the play. The members of the chorus respond to every act, every word, and they do not flag. The emotion expressed by the chorus never seems tired or impersonal. The reactions are continuously fresh and undimmed, as if the chorus members all have wounds that they rip open anew every few minutes."
 - Oberlin Review, Anna E. Hiller

Solo Performer in Fem Fest West

"Some of the works were truly a success. Excerpts read from Claire Chafee's Why We Have a Body, for example, were simple and direct, but the underlying importance of the work stood out: the author's simple commentary on the life of women. Read by junior Patricia Comstock and sophomore Jessica Umphress, Chafee's words sunk deep into the audience as if the speakers were referring to their own lives.”
 - Oberlin Review, Lauren Viera
