Ms. Bansavage is a striking-looking woman with a rich, fascinating voice. It is a performance that makes you want to head to the box office after the curtain to buy seats for the next show.” - Time Off, The Merchant of Venice, New Jersey Shakespeare Festival “Lisa Bansavage is an astounding Emilia, dropping pearls of wisdom and a path of presence all across the Bowne Theatre stage.” - Newark Star-Ledger, Othello, New Jersey Shakespeare Festival Among all the fine performances, the charisma of Bansavage’s knowing turn as Bea deserves special note. By the end of dinner, Bea’s eyes reveal her recognition that a disaster looms over her home.” - Salt Lake Tribune, A View from a Bridge, Pioneer Theatre Company “As the neurotic, luxury-loving Mrs. Van Daan, Lisa Bansavage is the production’s fulcrum, going from vain, giddy matron to shell-shocked scarecrow; her Bette Davis bitch-on-a-tightrope number makes for a bracing brew, even out-trumping the frayed nobility and desperate unwinding of her fellow inmates.” - Scene, The Diary of Anne Frank, Cleveland Play House "Cellini's cast is magnificent. Most of the actors are called upon to play several challenging roles, often with different regional accents and each does this flawlessly. Lisa Bansavage can be duchess or serving maid without the audience realizing she plays both roles.” - Theatre Reviews Unlimited, Cellini, Second Stage Theatre, New York City “Lisa Bansavage makes an impressive Rep debut as Maureen, delivering slashing one-liners to her mom and provocative endearments to Pato with telling force.” - Charlotte News-Observer, The Beauty Queen of Leenane, Charlotte Repertory Theatre
