Here are a few Reviews of my Directing work...
HAMLET
Woodward Shakespeare Festival
"Vibrant, new... I really, really like this Hamlet. The production itself is lively and beautifully directed... Schulman has a keen eye... The overall fluency of language and comfort level of the actors, even the less experienced ones, far exceeds Woodward Shakespeare's last production.
...Donald Munro, reviewer, Fresno Beehive, Aug. 08
"Her production of Hamlet for Woodward Shakespeare is one of our finest productions to date. We hope she can return for another season with us soon."
... Heather Parish, WSF Production Manager, Aug. 08
Belles of the Mill
Midtown International Theatre Festival
"defined, detailed moments that stay in the mind... these are the moments in which director Arlene Schulman made the best use of the tiny stage and limited resources." -- Off-Off Broadway Review
A World I Never Made
New Jersey Repertory Company
"Arlene Schulman directs the play's drama with a sure hand, keeping the acting nicely balanced between light-hearted and heartfelt... keeps the audience on their toes and thinking throughout..." -- TriCity News
Cabaret
Villagers Theatre
"...a super-talented director, Arlene Schulman... finds a way to blend the disparate worlds of the characters and the cabaret that is exciting. This "Cabaret" is a huge triumph for Villagers." -- Stuart Duncan, The Star Ledger
