Theatrical Reviews
“Tricia Collins set the stage for what was a gripping and poignant play. The versatile playwright/actress used smatterings of Chinese, the peculiar Patois spoken only by Guyanese-Chinese and Creolese, smoothly changing character as the story flowed… accolades must be given to Collins’s skill as a storyteller.”

“Tricia Collins wraps herself in a technical tour de force that, happily, transcends mere gimmickry. Gravity is a fascinating hour of theatre blending light, sound, video and more physical elements in a wholly satisfying piece of performance art.”
– Peter Birnie, The Vancouver Sun

“Gravity is a bold and beautiful work. Collins is an always engaging performer: athletic, playful, likeable and brave. It's impossible not to be won over by her candour.”
– Jo Ledingham, The Vancouver Courier
Past works:
“From the beginning it’s impossible to take your eyes off Tricia Collins with her blond, punky hair, (and) big eyes… Collins’ physicality is magnetic.”
- Jo Ledingham, The Courier
“The best thing that can be said about this… Brenda Leadlay cast Tricia Collins, a strong, compact actor in the title role. As Beaver, Collins has a strange vacancy under which you feel deep thoughts are coursing... Collins is riveting.”
- Jo Ledingham, The Courier
"Still, there are moments that are riveting… Beaver’s description of losing her virginity is coldly frightening. There’s a voice here trying to emerge…the performances in this production are strong-especially Tricia Collins’ understated work as Beaver."
- Colin Thomas, The Georgia Straight
"And there are rewards here for the theatre-lover. Tricia Collins’ performance in the title role is superb.”
