"Sarah Schwab brought fury and power to her role." (Isthmus Magazine, 2015)
"There were no gimmicks here, just great dancing from a talented cast [...] Schwab dances with sweetness and clarity but
also shows moments of steely strength." (Isthmus Magazine, 2014)
"Sarah Schwab is a new favorite of mine. Her long braid swings behind her as she dances we clarity and self-assurance."
(Isthmus Magazine, 2013)
