- Washington Stage Guild

“...Kay and Glenn manage to enrich their well-gauged comic portraits with glimmers of soul.”
- Washington Post, Celia Wren

“...Kay plays the incessant communicator with an innocent charm....”
The four actors handle each twist with smooth delivery and perform the social minuet with ease....”
- DC Theatre Scene, Debbie Jackson

“...irresistibly charming.”
“Kay and Glenn...have a crackling chemistry that's as palpable when they're at each others' throats as it is when they're warming to each others' charms....”
- Washingtonian, Missy Frederick

MAURITIUS by Theresa Rebeck - Bay Theatre Company

“Only great actors can bring such a thing off convincingly, and director Steven Carpenter has a cast full of them. Chief among them…is the fabulous Kay as a seemingly disorganized and vulnerable young lady full of steely resolve.”
- DC Theatre Scene, Tim Treanor

“Flawless performances make for a riveting ‘Mauritius.’”
“…just the right mix of vulnerability and toughness.”
“Director Steven Carpenter has his cast navigate some tough waters flawlessly.”
- Hometown Annapolis, Theresa Winslow

“Rana Kay cultivated a very believable character. Jackie was deceptively innocent which gave her character’s journey an intensity I hadn’t expected.”
- Showbiz Radio, Mari Davis

“Skillfully acted by Rana Kay…”
- Severna Park Voice, Cynthia Fowler

LIE WITH ME by Keith Bridges - Charter Theatre

“…the actors -- particularly Rana Kay as Carla, a now-grown daughter who repeatedly slept with her father - make you care…it's unexpectedly absorbing for an hour, particularly because the sad yet sassy Kay manages to avoid any false notes as Carla.”
- Washington Post, Nelson Pressley

“The abused daughter Carla (a wonderful Rana Kay) has our compassion from the first moment.”
- DC Theatre Scene, Hunter Styles

SOPHOCLES’ ELECTRA – MetroStage

“Rana Kay is compelling as a misunderstood Chrysothemis showing the tempered sanity that Electra is seemingly lacking.”
- Curtain Up

“…an intriguing characterization of Chrysothemis. She plays her as an ingénue with an unexpected spine of steel, thereby adding dimension to the role.”
- TheaterMania

“Rana Kay is particularly at home in the modernistic setting of this production. Her demeanor as Electra's sister is a sharp contrast…grounding the play at a more sustainable level in her briefer but welcome scenes.”
- Potomac Stages

“Rana Kay…has that genius approach of sensorily living out off-stage experiences.”
- All Arts Review

ARCADIA by Tom Stoppard – Rep Stage

“The key is Kay’s lucid, touching portrayal of Thomasina.”
- Baltimore City Paper

“…played with precocious panache…”
- Potomac Stages

“…tender and loving and lovely throughout.”
- All Arts Review

“This year’s roster of Baltimore’s 10 best theater productions seems noteworthy....Arcadia (#4) was pretty damn good.”
- Baltimore City Paper

THE LIGHT OF EXCALIBUR by Norman Allen – The Kennedy Center

“Again she proves to be the linchpin in a satisfying ensemble.”
- Curtain Up

“…a team of excellent actors…Rana Kay hits the right tone and expressions. There’s a definite chemistry between Kay’s youthful heroine and the princely Arthur.”
- The Washington Post

NECESSARY TARGETS by Eve Ensler – Olney Theatre Center

“…an excellent cast. Rana Kay…shines.”
- The Washington Times
