"Thompson grounds Kate's fury in the pain of an older sibling at the doting favoritism her father lavishes on her flirty-girlish and deceitful younger sister Bianca. Her relish of physical combat pays off well in a swordplay wooing scene...And when she hits Kate's finals speech, Thompson muses through "A woman mov'd is like a fountain troubled" as if she were just discovering an important truth about herself and her marriage...Between the awed respect creeping over Bridgett's(Petruchio) face and Thompson's self-possessed delivery, the play ends on a high and affecting note..." Robert Hurwitt, SF Chronicle, Taming of the Shrew @ Marin Shakespeare Company

"Thompson's rock-goddess Olivia is a complete delight." Robert Hurwitt, SF Chronicle, 12th Night @ Marin Shakespeare Company

"Cat Thompson is a bright and alluring Gwendolen, rattling off intricate witticisms with remarkable nimbleness and aplomb...The scene in which the two (Gwendolen & Cecily) move from instant gushing friendship to catty rivalry and back again with immaculate cordiality is priceless..." Sam Hurwitt, Importance of Being Earnest @ Marin Shakespeare Company

"Cat Thompson shines..." Chad Jones, Tir na Nog @ The Magic

"...Things really pick up when Cat Thompson arrives...exquisite as a woman who wears her celebrity and sex appeal as armor, her expressive eyes measuring the men in the room..." R. Hurwitt, Jihad Jones and the Kalashnikov Babes @ Golden Thread Productions

"...wonderful as Pooty, using her mischievous face while sitting still in a wheelchair..." Richard Connema, Reckless @ SF Playhouse

"...an enchanting Cat Thompson...Thompson is beguilingly, sensually evil and is so magnetically desperate in her downfall that the ending seems a triumph..." R. Hurwitt, Holes @ the Orpheum

"...richly nuanced scenes with Cat Thompson as Kate's mother and an adorable Sister Mary (among Thompson's several sharply defined characters)..." R.Hurwitt, Tir na Nog @ The Magic

"...Thompson's Regan almost embodies the drama of the daughters by herself. Her svelte, self-consciously seductive and keenly observant opportunism evolves naturally..." R. Hurwitt, King Lear @ Marin Shakes

"...best known is the reluctant affair between Beatrice and Benedick, as interpreted by Thompson and Bridgett. Both are regulars with MSC and highly skilled comic actors..." Charles Brousse, Much Ado About Nothing @ Marin Shakes

"...and Thompson has a lot more going for her than just looks. She manages to play Beatrice in a way that is clever and cunning, without going too far and seeming too bitchy. There痴 never any doubt in anyone痴 mind who Benedick should love." Jack Morgan, Much Ado About Nothing @ Marin Shakes

"Cat Thompson makes Zinaida indelible, at once moving and pathetic..." Ken Bullock, The Berkeley Daily Planet, An Anonymous Story @ Central Works
