The Greenville News, review of A Little Night Music.
"With her heartbreaking "Send in the Clowns," that classic meditation of regret, actress Peggy Trecker White offers perhaps the most memorable interpretation of a single song to be seen and heard in Greenville this season."
"Trecker hardly moves an inch during her luminous "Send in the Clowns," yet her face and voice express a world of searing anguish as her character, Desiree, laments her ill-timed attempts to reunited with a former lover."
"Sterling performances by Trecker White and her fellow guest artist, Peter Tamm, make this a captivation production of Sondheim's urbane, sophisticated musical, composed in 1973."
Paul Hyde's review of A Little Night Music!
Well done everyone! Especial kudos to actress Peggy Trecker White who plays Desiree and sings "the most memorable interpretation of a single song to be seen and heard in Greenville this season." [Full Review]
Tea spiked with wit and grit: Peggy Trecker White as Katharine Hepburn in Lean Ensemble Theater’s production of ‘Tea at Five’
Peggy Trecker White has played a variety of characters on stage, but one of her most captivating was that of Katharine Hepburn. This month White reprises her role in Lean Ensemble Theater’s production of Matthew Lombardo’s “Tea at Five.”
The play focuses on two periods of the Academy Award winner’s life: in 1938 when she’s at a professional low point and in 1983 when she casts a philosophical look back on her star-studded career.
Trecker White’s affectionate portrayal promises an evening chock full of wit, charm, and insider Hollywood and Broadway stories. Here she gives us her thoughts on playing Kate. [Full Review]
How Katharine Hepburn comes alive at Hilton Head’s Main Street Theatre
Peggy Trecker White becomes, in the course of her phenomenal performance in the one-woman show “Tea at Five,” the iconic actress, Katharine Hepburn, about whom this play was written.
As the curtain opens at the Main Street Theatre, we watch as Trecker White inhabits Hepburn ... the intelligence, the spirit, the talent, the ego, the sense of humor, even her physical appearance.
Trecker White, as Hepburn, moves nimbly, in four inch heels, as she bounds around the sitting room of the Fenwick family home in Old Saybrook, Conn. Her posture, too, responds to some embryonic tug of nature, as she moves to emphasize a passing memory or a random thought. [Full Review]
Review: Lean Ensemble’s ‘Constellations’ a shining star of storytelling
Bright, shining stars came together to create and deliver a poignant and powerful “Constellations” at Lean Ensemble’s production on the Main Street stage on opening night Thursday.
Peggy Trecker White offers thoughtful, intelligent, charismatic direction, which extracts from McCabe and Standridge giant portions of concern, caring, sincerity, intellectual dexterity, and great good humor. Her leit motif is communication, and she never lets us forget!
Miss Julie, review written by Timothy John Papp
"Playing the title character, Peggy Trecker purs her way through the play's first half with coy coquetry. She is very believable as the faux-innocent seductress, and her flirty, wispy delivery is evocative of the film actress Parker Pose at her best. In the play's second half, Trecker plays Julie as a hopeless girl, utterly destroyed by her actions and her beliefs. Trecker's acting is not only convincing and effective but captivating as well."
Living with Betty, review by krebsman
"I was impressed with Peggy Trecker as the young widow. Ms. Trecker to me seems like a younger, somewhat prettier Julianne Moore. She has a genuinely likable quality and is an actress of great subtlety. What success the show has is largely due to her performance."
A Myth Cycle: Ahraihsak, review by Kimberly Patterson
"Powerful visual elements - puppets, masks, handcrafted props -- added to the production's luster. The puppets worked well, from the rod puppet of young Naarah to the brilliant construction of Ahsan, the horse, silently and deftly executed by Peggy Trecker."
In a Red Sea: review by Syd Steinhart
"The physicality and sexiness brought to the proceedings by Peggy Trecker set up a twist at the end that both surprised and amused."
REVIEW: Warehouse Theatre Unleashes Stormy Family Dynamics in Mesmerizing ‘All My Sons’
Brock Koonce (recently in the hit comedy “Important Hats of the Twentieth Century”) portrays with utmost sincerity the lonely Dr. Jim Bayliss, who lives next door in the former Deever home. And his wife, Sue (Peggy Trecker White), who feels she is trapped in a jail herself, furthers the plot revealing her disgust with the social pariah Joe has become in the neighborhood, despite his legal absolution.
“All My Sons” features powerful and profoundly layered performances by all: Egan’s crisp, tough salty exterior; Wyche’s display of stoic frailty; Johnson’s nuanced internal struggle with a moral conundrum; and Webb’s lyrical vacillating of repressed epiphany. [Full Review]
Broadway Review: All My Sons at Warehouse Theatre
The rest of the cast is uniformly excellent, fully inhabiting their roles and bringing knowing touches to their personalities. Brock Koonce is gently sympathetic as the Kellers' neighbor Jim, while Peggy Trecker White, as Jim's wife, Sue, hits just the right balance of surface friendliness and inner shrew. [Full Review]
The Myth Cycle: Ahraihsak
Showing a deep understanding of myth and at least three distinct styles of theater, writer-director Ruben Polendo stages an audacious triumph with “The Myth Cycle: Ahraihsak.” This is a work that may seem strange to Western auds, since it hews so closely to the meditative style of traditional Japanese drama, Balinese puppetry and Tibetan mask theater. But by trading naturalism for ritual, “Ahraihsak” leaps beyond the ordinary world to create a wholly theatrical universe. [Full Review]
