"kirsta peterson plays the abrasive powerhouse that is Rose with a tear-dripping finesse required of a woman whose cracked veneer reveals the hollow and damaged interior we'd expect from a human pinball in life's unfair machine."

review for kirsta as kate in seminar

“Most enjoyable of all is Kirsta Peterson as Kate, who chafes at Leonard’s teaching even as she starts to take on some of his amoral frivolity. It is her apartment where the class gathers, but Peterson’s performance suggests someone who is never fully at home, even inside her own skin.”

Praise for Kirsta as Andromache in trojan women

"Kirsta Peterson is simply the very best thing in the show, bringing such raw and wonderful emotion to her character Andromache and speaking her lines with powerful phrasing. The scene where she contemplates, and eventually accepts, the death of her son is just brilliant.  It's heartbreaking and beautifully acted. The rest of the cast sadly disappears with a loud roar."  

-Excerpt from Mateo Moreno's review for big vision empty wallet

"Possessed of more vocal dexterity or voice training than the other female actors, only Kirsta Peterson, as Andromache, employs a full range of pitches and dynamics, using her voice to support the emotionality of her speeches by building from deep, alluring tones to short, anguished shouts of hysteria."
