Grounded - George Brant
"… so well portrayed onstage by master storyteller Walsh, that the audience is held spellbound... Walsh carries the audience with her into the Pilot's disintegrating world... she is a master of theatrical expression able to express many layers of sensitivity through her characterization. Her diction is impeccable, her projection clear, and her very presence is commanding... she creates a mesmerizing environment that increases in intensity as the story progresses…her stellar performance as The Pilot reflects the grueling, emotional preparation she must have undertaken to perfect this multi-layered role. A star has been born and we are lucky to witness her."
- Cynthia Berresse Ploski, The Chronicle News
"Walsh commands the stage... Watching Walsh go through a gamut of emotions right before our eyes was an amazing sight. Kayla made us feel compassion, sadness, fear, and very uncomfortable throughout the night. All signs of a stellar performance."
- Kirk Loudon, The Chronicle News
"Walsh takes and leaves the audience emotionally wrecked by the end as she utilizes the small stage & light cube to its fullest. The sand was a nice touch, but the actress doesn’t need anything more to take us along on this emotional ride. Walsh is a knockout."
- Jonathan Smith, New Legends Magazine
What the Constitution Means to Me
"Walsh delivers an emphatic, spring-loaded performance of this stage in the girl’s life, bursting at the seams with youthful exuberance in her canary yellow blazer… her brilliant use of timing and skillset of reading the audience’s every move and reaction is nothing short of amazing. A vulnerable, thought-provoking and compelling performance that’s one for the books. A true master of her craft."
T. Rowland, Vertical Response
"Walsh delivers an excellent performance from start to finish, and leaves us wanting more. Two thumbs up. She’s beyond humorous, thought-provoking, enlightening, and thoroughly entertaining."
- ADK Taste
Slave Play
"Moss and Walsh are heart-wrenching... uniformly stellar performances... Walsh does an excellent job... she's hysterical and heartbreaking in a matter of seconds... an exemplary production."
- Richard Sanford, Columbus Underground
Nice Work If You Can Get It
"The actor who had the most impressive range that I have ever seen was Kayla Ryan Walsh. If you have not witnessed Kayla hit a high E, then you have not witnessed greatness..."
- Mohamed Quteifan, Ohio Theatre Now
"Walsh is pure trouble as spoiled Eileen Evergreen, and she milks every moment for all that it’s worth... Ms. Walsh pounces on each moment she has to draw attention to herself, and she truly steals every scene... headlining the song “Delishious,” the title of which may just as well apply to Ms. Walsh as it does her character. Keep an eye out for this star performer, we haven't seen the last of her, this is just the beginning..."
