The Clearing"Allison Daugherty is simply amazing as Ella, balancing her sadness with hope and compassion for both of her damaged sons. Daugherty’s performance is transparent, vulnerable, and real; she’s graceful, composed, and broken all at once."
-Lynette Nicholas, Woman About Town Allison Daugherty, as Ella, is a great force. The vulnerability and strength Daugherty communicates here is a triumph. -Jason G. Teicher, CurtainUp “Allison Daugherty is the standout in this stunning premiere. In Jeppson’s best-written character, she gives a portrayal that is honest, natural and fearless. In her capable hands, Ella is haunted, anguished, confused and real.” -Peter D. Kramer, The Journal News |
Tales from Hollywood“My personal standing ovation for Allison Daugherty who plays tragic Nelly with style and courage….in a mesmorizing portrayal of this broken character. Daugherty gives us a glimpse of a complicated soul filled with demons.”
-Mary Aalgaard, Brainerd Dispatch "A notable, outlandish, and commanding performance by Allison Daugherty as Nelly Mann, who succumbs to her own personal tragedy.” -Kristin Frosch, Broadway World “This intellectual and toothsome production…. is rich with juicy moments such as Allison Daugherty's physically and emotionally naked cry for help as the alcoholic, frustrated wife of an aging intellectual titan.” -Dominic P. Papatola, Pioneer Press |
“Play with the Penguin features Allison Daugherty as Joy...light, screwy and droll.”
-Neil Genzlinger, New York Times |
Skylight “Kyra, played by Allison Daugherty, is complexly intelligent, believable and so well-acted you feel like your eaves dropping in her kitchen….played with such a level of emotional involvement the audience sat, stunned before breaking into applause. This “Skylight” sizzles.”
-Pat Bowen, The Messenger “The play’s main strength is Allison Daugherty’s impeccable performance as the strong-willed lover, Kyra….the excellent Daugherty joins an elite group of David Hare actresses earning cascades of praise…Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep, and Judi Dench.” -Judith Egerton, The Courier-Journal |
The Time of Your Life"In this exquisitely acted production…aching with regret and loss…add to the mix Allison Daugherty’s portrayal of Mary L. a beautiful, secretive woman in an unhappy marriage.”
-Naomi Siegel, New York Times “In this tantalizing, charming, almost surreal scene…Allison Daugherty (as Mary L.) and Andrew Weems (Joe) harmonize their performance with Saroyan’s distinctive writing…as if inside a lonely Edward Hopper painting.” -The Montclair Times “Beautifully acted…more theatrically potent than I could have possibly imagined…an exceedingly smart revival….this “Time of Your Life” is cause for rejoicing.” -Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal |

The Country Wife“Ms. Daugherty in the title role is endearing. With a Liverpudlian accent and her jittery ways, she makes a capital moment of the classic letter writing scene… one suspects in future productions, Ms. Daugherty has even freer, funnier business to spare”
-Alvin Klein, New York Times |
