A Back Stage Critic's Pick,

"Major kudos to the cast, starting with lead actors Freddy Douglas and Caroline Kinsolving, who play still-infatuated Elyot and Amanda as though to the manner born. Kinsolving is entirely his match, especially adroit at physical comedy and commanding a vocal dynamic that runs the gamut from clarinet-like subtlety to bassoon-sounding octave drops."

"...an arresting Caroline Kinsolving... brings humanity to the text without neglecting the gleefully frivolous comedy that comes with playing a stock role."
- LA Weekly

"I have seen other productions of this play with the role of Amanda played by Tammy Grimes, Maggie Smith, and Elizabeth Taylor. It is a role than an actress dreams of playing. Here, Amanda is played by Caroline Kinsolving in a performance that more than holds up against the previously mentioned ladies. You can see what Amanda is thinking in every moment in Kinsolving's performance."

"Amanda, exquisitely played by the beautiful Caroline Kinsolving, whose grace and poise is matched by her crack comic timing... Kinsolving displays a broad range of vocal delivery. She chews up and spits out Coward’s cutting dialogue with the controlled force of a raging bull, only to transition a moment later into a loving, gentle pussycat."

"Kinsolving matches Douglas in a role that fits the patrician beauty to a T, and even the sharpest-eared audience member would be hard pressed to guess who’s the authentic Brit of the two. Douglas and Kinsolving have terrific chemistry together, and their comic timing is as sharp as it gets...As Sir Noël himself put it so well, 'Wit ought to be a glorious treat like caviar.' Caviar this production most certainly is."

"Mr. Douglas and Ms. Kinsolving are captivating as two lovers who, at times, appear as if they have a case of theVirginia Woolf. ... Ms. Kinsolving brilliantly and confidently carries the glamour of Old Hollywood."

"The actors displayed a nearly-flawless performance. Kinsolving's extended syllables and subtle sarcasm had the audience roaring with laughter and a few snorting."

Earlier this year, she played several of the lead roles in the Colony Theatre’s West-coast premiere of “Almost, Maine,” by John Cariani. She was thrilled to be working with such a superb cast and crew and on such a lovely play.

Last year, she booked two roles in dramatic and comedic features. Marc Clebanoff’s new film, “Break,” featuring Chad Everett and Sarah Thompson and Sarah Poindexter’s “The Adventures of Umbweki.”.com.

During her first year in LA, she was very grateful to work with two young and talented directors:

Clebanoff's independent feature, "The Pink Conspiracy," in which Caroline has a featured role, debuted in Cannes last spring, and has been screening its way through the independent film circuit successfully.

Douglas Cheney's "Sam Has 7 Friends," in which Caroline played one of the leads, Holly, can be viewed on the website, SamHas7Friends.com, YouTube, and iTunes.

As one of the leading webcast series to air this fall, the show generated top ratings, fans throughout the world, an Emmy nomination, and was recently bought by Michael Eisner, former head of Disney.”
