Laura Berner Taylor

“The cast is superb— Berner Taylor’s portrayal of Pecarrero is a particular standout, as she navigates both the spin meeting and live interview. Her subtle takes to the camera are captivating, and she nails every written beat.”

“She is utterly ruthless while projecting a veneer appropriate to the fact that she is a mother of two young children. Taylor’s on-a-dime switches between those modes make her character come alive.”

“I particularly liked Laura Berner Taylor as the mayor’s spokesperson.”

“The highlight is the lightning-paced interview between [Taylor] and McGuire. Once she gets going, McGuire can’t begin to keep pace with her. Taylor is brilliant as the brittle aide whose sunny smile and rosy cheeks belie her sharp tongue and bad-ass style.”

“Even with political anxiety at an all-time high, Taylor is quick to bring the humor.”

“Laura Berner Taylor is rip-roaringly compelling as Grace — she gets most of the show’s laugh-out-loud moments, and she makes the character’s many glaring flaws both relatable and frustrating.”

“[Taylor] offers a vulnerable but assertive performance, and you’ll find yourself immersed in the trajectory of her likable character.”

“Taylor gives Grace enough oomph for the both of them.”

“Grace is played with inspiring boldness and ferocity by Laura Berner Taylor.”

“[Taylor plays] the least histrionic character of the three and the most complex. Because she cannot rely on any easy physical traits, she is forced to internalize, and we can sense her confused emotions from the very start...she practically glows.”

“Laura Berner Taylor throws herself entirely into bringing Clare to life. She completely commands every scene she’s in and gives a powerhouse performance. Clare is a complicated character. The more we learn about her, the more Taylor has to draw on, and the more riveting she becomes.”

“Berner Taylor stands out as she reveals the darker side of the prim and proper Jane Seymour; she spans the broadest emotional spectrum throughout the play.”
