ANNA IN THE TROPICS at Gallery Players (Ofelia)

"Kelly (then Smith)-playing the girls' mother, Ofelia-offers a memorable portrayal, powered by passion and a strong sense of her character.

RABBIT HOLE at Full Spectrum Theater (Nat)

"Hilariously ruminating about The Kennedys is a highlight of the work of the vivacious Kelly (then Rebecca Smith) who plays the wise and compassionate mother Nat. She sails through the play with superb comic timing and dramatic depth as she recounts her character's own experiences with grief."

"I want to start by saying that I see a lot of shows. But wow! I've seen this play done a few times and by far, this was not only the best, but the most perfectly acted and emotionally engaging show I've seen in a while. Rebecca Smith brings to life how such a loss is not exclusive to just the parents but to the entire family. She is endearing, a little flaky, but loving in her loss. Ms. [Smith] is Broadway ready."
