“Ms. Steinmetz is terrific as Medvedenko, the whiny schoolteacher (and future husband of the depressive Masha.)”
— Ben Brantley, The New York Times (THE SEAGULL)
“Even the often ponderous teacher Medvedenko is played by Samantha Steinmetz with wonderfully droll comic timing worthy of Ellen Degeneres at her best.”
— Michael Giltz, Huffington Post (THE SEAGULL)
“It’s a rare and happy occurrence in the theater when an actor literally glows onstage, but if you’re anywhere near Stark Naked Theatre Company’s home on Spring Street, the iridescence from actress Samantha Steinmetz as Joan of Arc is unmistakable. She’s as bright and stunning as a sweeping arc light at a movie premiere. Go into the light and be dazzled by her aura.”
— D.L. Groover, Houston Press (SAINT JOAN)
“Steinmetz transforms from the quiet Mrs. Dashwood to the garrulous Anne Steele (Lucy’s older sister) in a blink, garnering major laughs in the second role.”
— Pete Hempstead, TheatreMania (SENSE AND SENSIBILITY)
“While to single one out would suggest all are not at an equal high-level of performance — which they are — on opening night the audience favorite was Samantha Steinmetz who flipped from dour to doggy in a split second.”
— Quote SouLinda Lowen, The Post-Standard (PRIDE AND PREJUDICE)
“In this role, Samantha Steinmetz gives a first-rate performance. Her Flora is at once intoxicating, delicate, dangerous, and strong. She plays the character with such nuance, charm, and precision, we are left reeling in her last moments on stage.”
— Washington Square News (27 WAGONS FULL OF COTTON)
“Nancy’s visit from the mother of the toddler (Steinmetz) was one of the most intriguing scenes this episode, and played out differently to what we usually expect with these kinds of encounters in film and TV.”
— Christopher Hooton, New Musical Express Magazine (MINDHUNTER)
“Steinmetz is a real find here. She reminded me of a young Helen Hunt who captured all our hearts in the 90s sitcom Mad About You. Steinmetz is terrific.”
