ACCLAIMS

"Olivia Sargent is the epitome of loveliness as the mayor's daughter, Zaneeta. With her long blonde locks, she has a damsel in distress look about her; you could easily see her as Johanna in Sweeney Todd. We get to witness so many shadings, dimensions, in her character, a young woman wanting to break free and enjoy the company of a young man. And when she dances in the marvelous group numbers, the audience can't help but watch her stand out from the rest."

-Broadway World

"She may be just a kid, but this actress was all too convincing as mean Mary Tilford in Lillian Hellman's The Children's Hour at Tampa Rep. Sargent's Tilford was no sympathetic adolescent; she was a narcissistic, poisonous brat, a girl who lied and bullied and blackmailed her classmates while destroying a couple of teachers who passed too near. Anyone who survived middle school knows that Mary Tilfords exist; kudos to Sargent for painfully reminding us."

-Mark E. Lieb, Creative Loafing, "The Year in Lists: 10 Top Performances"

"The accuser, Mary Tilford, is coercive and vulnerable, manipulative and cunning, enigmatic and strong-willed. Olivia Sargent [...] more than carries this adult-sized load. As Mary, Olivia knows where she is supposed to be and when and why. Her face is a blank canvas, and no expression comes to it except her character's reaction to what is going on around her."

-Andrew Meacham, Tampa Bay Times

"And prepare to hate Olivia Sargent in the role of the conniving brat Mary Tilford. I mean that in a good way. Sargent’s character, referred to in the dialogue as, “A strange girl, a dark girl,” was manipulative, deceitful, rebellious, and bullying, and she played it perfectly. She could have been the original Mean Girl."
