PRODUCING JULIET

(Web Series)

“Alisha Spielmann is wonderful as Rebecca, bringing just the right touch of softness and vulnerability to the character while showing some resolve by taking a chance in doing something she’s never done before.”
-Jeff Siniawsky, WebVee Guide

“Boasting a very strong cast, including Alisha Spielmann…[Producing Juliet] has a story which guarantees to keep us coming back for more.”
-Eva Grzybek, Huffington Post UK

JANE THE PLAIN

(Off-Broadway)

“Alisha Spielmann inhabits Jane fully and, well, beautifully.”
-Wendy Caster, Show Showdown

“As Jane, Alisha Spielmann commands your attention, not with a roar, but with a fire of intensity building inside her. She is soft and sweet, naïve and hurt, and Spielmann’s performance is touching and powerful.”
-Mateo Moreno, The Artswire

“As Jane, Alisha Spielmann is a powerhouse. Evolving from sweet and naïve to strong and worldly, she captures Jane’s loss of innocence in a versatile performance that will leave you gasping.”
-Gina Femia, New York Theatre Review

“As Jane, Spielmann shines with an aching vulnerability. She perfectly captures the open, easily wounded heart that beats within every teenage girl. Her performance was so good it made me a little uncomfortable. Watching Spielmann reminded me of many a painful blunder in my own adolescence, and that can be a hard place to revisit. Still, Spielmann is very likeable and she anchors a very strong cast with her honest and passionate work.”

OVER

(Off-Broadway)

“Spielmann and Byers are two of the most consistently reliable actors in the indie theater scene; both gave vibrant comic performances earlier this season in Flux Theater Ensemble’s Jane The Plain and their work in Over’s honest, wrenching drama is equally strong. Spielmann’s performance is resonant from the very top of the play, her face and body subtly conveying the shaky vulnerability of a heartbroken woman…Spielmann and Byers make a convincing set of siblings and expertly inhabit the complex feelings that goes with the territory of being a sister.”
-Amanda La Pergola, Theatre Is Easy
theasylogo

“…the stellar performances of Spielmann and Byers as the sisters come to the forefront and carry the drama to its Twilight Zone-esque conclusion.” OR “But the play really belongs to its women, and the production to Spielmann and Byers, who appeared together recently in Flux Theatre Ensemble’s ambitious and scrappy Jane the Plain. With crisis piling on crisis, Nicole ends up showing that beneath all her weepiness lies a fundamental human durability. Her speech about what made her fall for Jack in the first place is so convincing it set aside my negative impressions of his character” -Jon Sobel, Blog Critics

Sans Merci, Flux Theatre Ensemble

“Spielmann emerges with the sharpest character arc and expertly lands all of it powerfully. Her performance is sweet and touching at first, exploding near the end in a raw, stunning, and brave burst of emotion. I literally shook watching the young actress tear apart the stage.“
-Mateo Moreno, The ArtsWire

“Brave are actors Rachael Hip-Flores and Alisha Spielmann for so honestly, intimately and nakedly (in all senses of the word) portray the love between two young women.”
-Julie Congress, Indie Theatre Now

Bus Stop, Gallery Players

“But just when you’re about to write off the whole production as a loss, Spielmann will suddenly deliver a line with so much longing that this dated revival feels momentarily fresh.“
-Mark Peikert, backstage.com

Blast Radius, Gideon Productions

“Alisha Spielman’s caution and sharp wit, as Clem, shine as a foil to the reckless, rebellious Ronnie and her relationship with the less intelligent but lovable Dev (Seth Sheldon) makes a profound point about loving people because we have to have companionship.”
-Michael Mraz, nytheatre.com

The Desk Set, Retro Productions

“Spielmann gives Ruthie that innocence we all had at our first job, that “I’ll do anything” spirit, that youthful earnestness…without making Ruthie a pushover or childish.”
Karen Tortora-Lee, thehappiestmedium.com
