Review: LADY DISDAIN at Asolo Repertory Theatre
by Shanti M Kennedy - Jun 15, 2026

'LADY DISDAIN', the Rolling World Premiere, by Lauren Gunderson is a romantic comedy play that cleverly infuses a modern and feminist twist into Shakespeare's classic 'Much Ado About Nothing.' The setting is a vibrant audio book recording studio, where the delightful drama unfolds between the feuding narrators Bea and Ben. What starts as a clash of egos slowly evolves into a heartwarming enemies-to-lovers story full of witty banter.

Review: BLEEDING HEARTS at Theatrical Outfit
by Jennifer Skura Boutell - Feb 9, 2026

Theatrical Outfit’s world premier BLEEDING HEARTS written by Atlanta playwright Steve Yockey and directed by Sean Daniels starts with ferocious comedic momentum that feels equal parts Oscar Wilde on SNL, the 2014 Adult Swim cult TOO MANY COOKS, and a virtul signalers wrestling match.

Review: PRU PAYNE at Arizona Theatre Company
by Herbert Paine - Apr 4, 2023

PRU PAYNE, directed by Sean Daniels and featuring Mimi Kennedy and Gordon Clapp ~ Arizona Theatre Company's emotionally powerful production of Steven Drukman's play runs through April 16th at Herberger Theater Center in Phoenix.

Review: Mimi Kennedy, Gordon Clapp Dazzle in World Premiere of PRU PAYNE at Arizona Theatre Company
by Robert Encila-Celdran - Mar 15, 2023

Mimi Kennedy renders an imperious and brassy Pru Payne (her public moniker). She's a renowned intellectual, feared for her trenchant criticism and scathing takedowns of mediocre aspirations (a faint redolence of critic Michiko Kakutani's public feuds with John Updike and Norman Mailer et al). Pru exists in the lofty penthouse of her intellect. She deflects the impulse to linger in the subterranean region of emotions -- until she loses her bearing and meets Gus Cudahy.

Interview: Veronika Duerr Talks THE WICKHAMS, Creative Partnerships, and Managing Public Perceptions
by Robert Encila-Celdran - Oct 26, 2022

It's quintessential Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon, in which it is that highly stylized, laugh-out-loud comedy, undercut with heart and passion and vulnerability. And strong female characters who are smashing the patriarchy and choosing their own futures. Women who are finding and re-defining themselves. Which is what I've always loved about Lauren's writing.

BWW Feature: THE ADVENTURE OF LIFE Celebrates Artist's Journey Through Unlikely Pregnancy
by Robert Encila-Celdran - Jan 21, 2022

It sounds simple enough, but not according to Veronika Duerr, whose journey to a viable pregnancy became a life lesson unto itself. In fact, she was so changed by the 'miraculous' experience that it spawned yet another gift: an original, one-woman theatrical performance documenting the challenges and joys of pregnancy.

BWW Review: MISS BENNET Unwraps Glad Tidings at Arizona Theatre Company
by Robert Encila-Celdran - Nov 17, 2021

In MISS BENNET: CHRISTMAS AT PEMBERLEY, Gunderson partners with her friend Margot Melcon and lends a righteous voice to Mary Bennet, the third child of the Bennet household in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. In the duo's amusing account, Mary comes of age in a way Austen enthusiasts ought to appreciate -- no longer the stodgy middle child consigned to a pedantic existence, but a woman of substance deserving of social recognition and romance.
