press highlights - theatre
Redmoon’s Winter Pageant 2010 November 2010
“There are especially appealing performances from Carly Ciarrocchi, who plays Winter…”
- Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
“There were few dry eyes left during Carly Ciarrocchi’s ballad about homesickness…”
- Paul Cosca, Chicago Stage Style
“Winter was played by Carly Ciarrocchi and she was the main season or why was it called the Redmoon Winter Pageant? She played the guitar and it was sometimes red and sometimes blue…The performance was good because she actually acted like she was a little scared when she sang her song. And it was great because then it actually felt like she was actually singing a song that she wrote, but she actually didn’t write it, I know.”
– Ada Grey Ada Grey Reviews for You
Collaboraction’s 1001 by Jason Grote, September 2010 / August 2011
“Another sensational actress, Carly Ciarrocchi, steals many scenes.”
- Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times
“The only other female of the cast, Carly Ciarrocchi gets the brunt of the humor, and she handles it fantastically. Ciarrocchi has a talent for goofy voices, but it is her comedic timing that makes her scenes so memorable, like her Act 1 hysterics as one of Shahriyar’s virgin brides about to be killed.”
- Oliver Sava, Chicago Theatre Blog
“Carly Ciarrocchi bawls, lisps and falls with perfect comedic style.”
- Katy Walsh, thefourthwalsh.com
16th Street Theater’s The Beats by Marilyn Campbell January 2011 / October 2011
“Dark-eyed, passionate Carly Ciarrocchi lights up the stage as di Prima, the lone Beat Chick who realizes she is forever on the periperhy in this mostly male world, though she revels in the sensuality and freedom of it all.”
- Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times
“…and Carly Ciarrocchi’s incendiary delivery of Diane DiPrima’s “Rant” (“The only war that matters is the war against the imagination!”) being particular stand-outs.”
- Kerry Reid, Chicago Tribune
“…and Carly Ciarrocchi is so winning as Diane di Prima that I kept wishing Campbell had built The Beats around this too-often-overlooked poet.”
- Jack Helbig, Chicago Reader
"Some standouts included Carly Ciarrocchi’s impassioned reading of Diane di Prima’s “Rant”..."
- Eric Shoemaker, The Chicago Maroon
Wilclaw's Kill Me by Scott T Barsotti February 2012
"The night I went, the part of Grace...was played by Carly Ciarrocchi whom I had never seen before but, OH MAN WAS SHE GOOD! You are all God dammed lucky to have an understudy work on your show as good she is. God dammed lucky.”
- Anderson Lawfer, Eric & Andy's Reviews You Can Iews
