Press Quotes (Theatre)
You Don't Know The Half Of It - Public Energy / YDK Project
"
Dianne Latchford gives a delicious turn as the parish busybody."
                                                                                             Bea Quarrie, Peterborough Examiner

The Taming of the Shrew - Mysterious Entity Theatre
"
Dianne Latchford had great fun cavorting as Hortensio."
                                                                                             Bea Quarrie, Peterborough Examiner

Problem Child - New Stages Theatre Company
"Each of the actors gave a flawless performance ... every member of the cast has perfect timing..."
"
Dianne Latchford is the perfect social worker, the stereotypical government employee, so convinced she is right,
in control, making the correct decisions.  You want to shake her from her superior attitude one moment and find
yourself cracking up the next as she pans or reacts ... Her final scenes are hilarious."
"What is not surprising though, is the superb quality of acting ... I won't forget any of this remarkable production,
the laughter or the tears."
                                                                                             Barb Selkirk, Peterborough Examiner

A Tidy Package - Riverbank Productions
"
DL as younger sister Grace, has extensive theatre and television experience.  It shows.  Her mix of humour, despair
and obstreperousness carries the play.  Her control of the distinctive Newfoundland accent, inflections and idioms
was flawless."
                                                                                             Jane Bow, Peterborough Examiner

Through The Fire - Hutchison House
" ... black-clad, sharp-tongued Hecate, the embodiment of all women, played by
DL (with) candid, irrepressible
enthusiasm ..."
                                                                                             Susan Clairmont, Peterborough Examiner

Under The Law - Found Theatre
"Susan Spicer and
DL nail down Maud and Liza.  The pair radiate talent and the best moments come when they are
alone on stage.  Even on an opening night, they have inhabited these characters."
                                                                                             Scott Whalen, Peterborough Examiner

Dracula, The Musical - Sudbury Theatre Centre
"
DL is playing one half of the Seward couple, a very strong character part ... nothing like herself ... guaranteed,
you will laugh out loud many, many times ... something I'm sure you won't forget for a long, long time."
                                                                                             Peter Mallette, Host, Midday Talk Show - MCTV   

Cake-Walk - Press Theatre
"
DL, as busybody Ruby Abel, gets the greatest number of laughs ... succeeding even in such subtle ploys as
pretending to pretend, and as meddlesome, petty and conniving as she comes across, she manages to remind her
audience that there's always a story behind the obvious."
                                                                                             Linda Duguay, St. Catharines Standard
"But it's
DL as Ruby Abel who steals the show with her nosy, busy-body character ... moments of pure comedy ..."
                                                                                             Marnie Coles, The Tribune

Annie Get Your Gun - Sudbury Theatre Centre
"Playing the lady that everyone tells to 'shut up' ... she seems to have so much fun with Dolly Tate."
"Comedy seems very easy for
DL, or perhaps it's just that she makes it look easy ..."
                                                                                              Peter Mallette, Host, Midday Talk Show - MCTV

Mad In Canada - Old Angelo's Dinner Theatre
" ... faster and funnier than SCTV"
                                                                                             Toronto Star
"An even better show now than when it opened ... outstanding sketches ..."
                                                                                             Toronto Sun

Nurse Jane Goes To Hawaii - Phoenix Theatre, Adelaide Court
"
DL as a pert and self-possessed interviewer ... rounded out a solid cast."
                                                                                             Ray Conilo
gue, Globe and Mail
" ... a ray of sunshine on a cold and wintry January night"
                                                                                             Bob Crew, Toron
