Caryn’s ACTING REVIEW AND AWARDS

Caryn is currently in VANYA AND SONYA AND MASHA AND SPIKE at Hartford Stage til June 22, 2014. June 2, the 2013-14 Connecticut Critics Circle Awards announced this year’s winners, including Caryn West for “Outstanding Featured Actress in a Play" which includes the seasons at Long Wharf and Yale Rep and many exceptional NY actors nominated:

“Caryn West, an actress who is new to me, is heart-breakingly stunning as the sad, frustrated Sonia, who in Durang’s crisp, savage dialogue delivers some of the funniest and honest descriptions of despair and loneliness one may ever encounter on a stage. As an adopted sister, she may feel isolated, but the sly West brings the audience along on her character’s transition into a wickedly modern riff on a Maggie Smith discovering her “prime.” She also gets to transition, with great assistance from costume designer Tricia Barsamian, from Sonia’s casual, laid-back wardrobe into a shimmering green gown complete with sequins. The actress also has the audience hanging on every word in a telephone call that Sonia receives, for which we only hear one side. The audible disappointment from some audience members at a certain point in the conversation indicates how much West has enabled us to invest into her character.”-http://www.examiner.com/review/tony-winning-play-shines-hartford-stage-s-pitch-perfect-production

She shot a lead in the horror feature THE JOKESTERS in Feb. 2014, can be currently seen on the fest favorite feature I DO in theaters in 2013 Amazon on demand. She co-wrote the Italian/U.S. short THE FATHER, which has been seen in 5 European festivals thus far in 2011. She recurred last as Dr. Susan Heyworth on the CBS series THREE RIVERS, shot and starred in THE CLEAN HOUSE at the International City Theatre last fall, played a the Kate Hepburn lead part in The Interact Co.’s STATE OF THE UNION in Oct. 2010 which was cited as: The Best in LA Theatre for 2010: “One of the Top Productions" BroadwayWorld.com

StageSceneLA.com 2010 Award Lists: I.C.T. Equity contract production of THE CLEAN HOUSE by Sarah Ruhl (Sept. 2010): “OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A LEAD ACTRESS/COMEDY” For Larger Theaters (300 seats or more) THE CLEAN HOUSE September 2010 notices:

"The endearing cast deftly manages Ruhl's tricky balance of quirk and pathos, ...Audiences who demand naturalism or explained foreign zingers may be befuddled. That scarcely keeps this pristine "House" from reaching our funny bones and, ultimately, our hearts."- LOS ANGELES TIMES

"Caryn West is likewise remarkable as Lane, gently growing from self-righteously officious to genuinely befuddled by Charles' choice of a new soulmate to finally able to turn to others for help and friendship" -BACKSTAGE WEST

"In terms of acting performances, Galindo and West were both mesmerizing as the leading two ladies of The Clean House ...” BUZZINE.com

"Caryn West adeptly carries the pivotal most serious role as a successful doctor, discovering she’s not as successful a wife, sister or boss. .." Buena Park Independent

WOW! THE CLEAN HOUSE A Ruhl play requires just the right touch to make it work.....Fortunately director caryn desai and her accomplished quintet of actors know exactly how to play by the Ruhl… A terrific Caryn West gives Lane just the right blend of the acerbic and the no- nonsense to make lines like “I did not go to medical school to clean my own kitchen” sound as funny as all get-out ..." StageSceneLA.com

FRONTIERS .com Theater Review: The Clean House by Christopher Cappiello [Caryn] West is the most nimble interpreter of Ruhl’s challenging material. Her powerful presence and assured skills are a perfect fit for the uptight doctor, making her ultimate meltdowns that much more affecting. In the end, Clean House is Lane’s journey, and happily West charts it for us with precision, intelligence and nuance.
