"Shakespeare's Summer Fancy Shines for Beach Bard"
- Janet Smith, The West Ender
"The key to making this play enjoyable is in capturing its magic quality, and here the new, young company succeeds. ...The budding actors that make up the cast should keep the festival running at full speed."
- Janet Smith, The West Ender
"Johnna Wright gives an elegant performance, whether as the proud Hippolyta or the fey Titania."
- Annie Boulanger, Arts Notebook
"Delightful Version of the Bard for Summer Beach Treat"
- Mark O'Neill, Western News
"Midsummer's Magnificent"
- Alison Appelbe, Vancouver Courier
"The love is evident from the moment the actors step on the stage: this new, young company has put its collective heart and soul into making its long-term project - Bard on the Beach - work. The production is a demonstration of nascent skills - a majority of the cast of 18 are emerging professionals - enormous enthusiasm and youthful beauty. ...Johnna Wright is perfectly stunning as both Titania, Queen of Fairies, in shining blues and pinks and a tangle of glittering silver hair, and also as Hippolyta."
- Alison Appelbe, Vancouver Courier
