L.A. Splash: “...And from that first moment, Heather L. Tyler pulls us into Eva’s struggleto both live and finish the work she has started and to let it go and accept her death.”

“Heather L. Tyler gives the jaded Lubov a full range, from sweet nobility to frank viciousness.” - Sacred Fools Theatre



“Ms. Tyler gives her post-debutante Catherine a fine character arc...she finds complexities in the role...self-discovery and a satisfying liberation at close of show.” Larry Shue’s The Foreigner - Little Fish Theatre

Stage & Cinema: “One word: Bravo...Anna is truly a failure at everything she tries—and she becomes the unwitting catalyst to Will’s total unraveling. When he comes at her full of righteous indignation, it’s terrifying. Tyler is quite moving as she conveys Anna’s tender inability to understand the world in which she lives—let alone the people in it—most of whom she finds mystifying and threatening.”
Stage Scene LA: “Wow!...Tyler seems visually to shrink inside Anna’s mousy frame, giving us an absolutely real young woman we both sympathize with and pity.”
The Hollywood Reporter: “Heather L. Tyler as a hapless fellow employee supplies some leavening pathos to balance out Will’s compulsive proselytizing.”

Chicago Sun-Times: Critics have praised its twist-driven plot, popcorn-ready action, and Heather Tyler as Rita, the woman in the case.

Chicago Reader: “Heather Tyler is particularly fine as the skittish, Barbara Stanwyck-esque femme fatale.”
