Press Quotes, Reviews & Accolades
For Sweeter Dreams
Nominated "Outstanding Lead Actress in a Play" for the Planet Connections Theatre
Festivity (July 2011)
For Suddenly Last Summer
"Director Cyndy A. Marion and her stellar cast succeed in moving the audience...
Rogers has fun emphasizing her character's excruciating primness."
-Arlene McKanic, New York Cool.com, September 2011
"Miss Foxhill, played here by Heather Lee Rogers, is a combination of solicitous and
fractious, as she protects her employer with the tenacity of a diminutive pomeranian
who believes she is a pit bull... No one does Williams' plays like White Horse
[Theater Company]. Make your reservations now."
-Sherri Rase, QONSTAGE.com, September 2011
For The Riders
"Bennett and Rogers fill most of the short piece with confessions and anecdotes so
sincere and unaffected, one is quickly caught up in the actresses' utter
ingenuousness."
- Robert Simonson, TimeOut New York, 8/24/2000
"The Riders is one of the pleasantest surprises of this year's FringeNYC.
... Rogers and Bennett - petite, smart and articulate - are about as far removed from
the biker chick stereotypes as it's possible to be... Mostly they recreate for us the
sheer joy and exhilaration that they feel when they hit the open rode on their bikes."
- Martin Denton, nytheatre.com, 8/24/2000
For Imminent, Indeed
"The physical work onstage is also an example of great collaboration between
director and ensemble.... Noteworthy, as well, are Heather Rogers and Catherine
Wronowski as the comic [Snitch and Snatch] as they bleat around the stage one
part dumb pair of sidekicks, one part mischevious (and hilarious) troublemakers."

For Babylon Babylon
Martin Denton said "Their commitment and concentration as an ensemble are
commendable" and then went on to single out some actors for "particularly
memorable contributions" including ME! nytheatre.com, 4/17/2008
For The Heist Project:
Ahn Behrans called the scene I wrote a "standout" in the Waterfront Journal,
11/10/05 and said the play featured "top notch performances".
Martin Denton, in nytheatre.com, 11/11/2005 called the scene I performed in "one of
[his] favorite sequences". He also wrote "The Heist Project is breathtakingly
ambitious and splendidly inventive. All of the artists involved - the visual artists...;
the writers; the filmmakers - are to be commended for engaging our imagination and
intellect with such acuity."
For Emancipatory Politics: A Romantic Tragedy
"[The play] is also, significantly, a grand showcase for all of the participants' talents,
which are constantly inspiring." ... "The actors, each of whom demonstrates
enormous versatility, skill and discipline in the course of the two hour play" ..."The
sense of collaboration among these artists is palpable and exciting"
-Martin Denton, nytheatre.com, 12/2/2010
For The Empire's New Clothes
"The ensemble is a tight group of very creative and talented performers. ...Many of
the simplest movements are highly stylized and physically challenging...There is
never a moment when there is not something captivating to watch on stage."
-Richard Hinojosa, 11/21/2008, nytheatre.com
For Piecework
"If the factory workers in [Robyn Burland's] play are not real people, by the time their
stories are told you feel as if they could have been."
- Neil Genzlinger, New York Times, 11/30/04,
