Reviews

“Baker… is dynamic and compelling in the role. Her character deals with extraordinary challenges… Because of it, her character’s breakthrough in the last act is even more powerful.”
Suzanna Caldwell, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner: Jessie in The Messenger, Film UAF

“The scenes between Baker and Cowans are captivating…”
Gary Black, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner: Sadness in The Ashgirl, Theatre UAF

“Vinegar Tom centers in on a young woman named Alice, excellently played by Carrie Baker. Outspoken, strongheaded and unabashedly sexually charged, she is the 17th century version of Chelsea Handler… Baker delivers a powerful performance as Alice.”
Scott McCrea, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner: Alice in Vinegar Tom, Theatre UAF

“Carrie Baker imbues Thaisa with wit and humanity…”
Robert Hannon, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner: Thaisa in Pericles, Fairbanks Shakespeare Theatre

“Carrie Baker’s deep-throated delivery makes Iago’s wife Emilia a force to be reckoned with.”
Eric Snider, EricDSnider.com: Emilia in Othello, Utah Shakespeare Festival

“Baker brings a cool sophistication and attractive mien to her exasperated character…”
Daedalus Howell, Sonoma County Independent : Kate in Sylvia, Summer Repertory Theatre

“Carrie Baker managed to convey desperate frustration with sensual self-absorption in such a powerful performance that the audience was completely under her spell.”
Alexa Shulze, New University Spotlight: Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, UC Irvine
