Van Fossen has fielded a cast skilled at both wacky comedy and Shakespeare, and she leans into the script’s most amusing theatrical elements. It’s really a love letter to the boundary-breaking magic of theater and the universality of Shakespeare’s writing.
- Pam Kragen, The San Diego Union-Tribune
Irreverent, irresistible comedy. This production is everything I could have hoped it would be: the cast has delightful comedic timing and each actor embodies their character in full. I was invested.

Like all successful plays, the key is in the cast and those attending these performances will love the cast. Director Diana Van Fossen, making her North Coast Rep debut, has an amazing cast of veteran performers to work with. A wonderful cast that will have you laughing out loud. The result is a play that is both funny, emotional, educational for the audience and touches on social issues that are still around today.
- TR Roberston, The Vista Press
Director Diana Van Fossen gets the most from this fine cast. The show plays with lots of giggles and some serious thought about the war effort, and theatergoers will leave amused and satisfied with this ultimate love letter to theater.
- Jean Lowerison, San Diego Stage and Screen
Timely homage to creative women with gender-bending wisdom and humor. Theatrical home run.
- Christene Myers, Critic
Enough can not be said about the cast of Into the Breeches, strong, talented, funny women perfectly cast/making the characters so real you are drawn to them like a magnet. Unexpectedly Refreshing.
