Arianne Villareal

"A strong, all-female cast brings these vibrant characters to life...as Divina, Villareal depicts a reserved mother-to-be with an unexpectedly ferocious streak."

-  StageRaw

​

"Divina [Arianne Villareal] has a secret, and it’s not a pretty one. In the hands of lesser actors or a lesser playwright, the late reveal regarding the father of her child. . .could have come across as nothing more than a ham-handed dramatic twist, but here this truth illuminates Divina’s desperate need to deliver a healthy baby and the lengths she might go to in order to ensure that. She’s quiet most of the play . . .  [she] suffers in silences that are quite moving to observe if you’re paying attention." 

  -  The Theatre Times

"Arianne Villareal is perfect as the exceptional Marcy Park, who is especially winning in her matter of fact rendition of “I Speak Six Languages”."

-  Ken Klingenmeier, A Seat on the Aisle

​

"The multi-talented cast uniformly excelled at singing, acting and dancing; plus, they were all adept as comedians, with all delighting an engaged audience in performances that reflected effective rhythm, timing and pacing."

-  Tom Alvarez, On the Aisle

"Arianne Villareal is a force as the outrageous art student and one-night stand." -  Katelyn Coyne, NUVO

​

"His ex-girlfriend visits. So does a potential new conquest (a breath of smartly drawn fresh air from actress Arianne Villareal). . . take your journey to the Phoenix to see what may well be the most fully realized production of the Indy theater season."

-  Lou Harry, Indianapolis Business Journal

​

"Arianne Villareal’s vivid performance as the over-the-top Amanda, a flirty, vivacious Chinese-American design student who Leo picks up and brings back to his grandmother’s apartment for a late-night drunken fling, was hilarious." 

-  Tom Alvarez, The Examiner

​

"His attempt at a one-night stand with another woman (given firecracker intensity by Arianne Villareal) fizzles. . ."  -  Jay Harvey, Upstage

"I was particularly drawn to the character of Jen (played by Arianne Villareal) . . . Villareal did not miss a beat in her storytelling - her quirky ukelele songs, morphing into a dog, even a little bit of rapping, her versatility - making her a major highlight."

-  Kelsee Hankins, Mission Intrugue: Indy

"I left the theatre feeling hopeful about the future, knowing there were these creative, observant, open-minded young women – the playwright, the director, the actors - sharing their gifts in it."

-  Hope Baugh, Indy Theatre Habit

"The Pill is. . .edgy, controversial, smart, unapologetic, funny, and. . emotionally violent. It’s psychologically visceral; its characters are real; its subject matter messy. And it’s orgasmic in its ability to blindside and entertain at the same time. . . .

 

Arianne Villareal portrays Dr. Pincus, a brilliant squirrel-like man burdened by the attention span of a goldfish. . . Her character is perpetual motion of mind and body, but he’s also funny in the way an eccentric can be somewhat infuriating to others. Villareal gives Pincus manic characteristics and a fascination for the science behind the project."

-  Indianapolis Theatre Reviews

​

"The play packs a powerful punch and I was left reeling. . . Arianne Villareal plays the biologist Gregory Pincus with an endearing neurotic earnestness."  -  BroadwayWorld

"Arianne Villareal as Amanda, Leo’s would-be one-night stand who makes us laugh in absurd platform shoes and leaves too soon....Villareal is sultry, suggestive and teasing."

-  Vivian DeGain, The Oakland Press

"Arianne Villareal provides a solid and lovely Liat."
-  Ken Klingenmeier, A Seat on the Aisle

​​

"Perhaps what in the end makes us tear up is the fragility of Liat (Arianne Villareal)...the injured for the sake of perverse ideologies."

-  Rita Kohn, NUVO
