God of Carnage

"A marvelous Allison Gamlen portrays Annette in a role ranging from diplomacy to anger to drunkenness to throwing up, which she manages to make quite funny..."
​- Sally Hogarty, East Bay Times

"Annette is played by the charming Allison Gamlen whose business-like approach to conflict becomes muddled as she broaches the subject of mitigating circumstances. Despite the fact that Alan is the one who is the lawyer, it is Annette that affirms the grayness of the situation. Gamlen presents a character that is grounded and layered."
- Kelly Rogers Flynt, Broadway World

"Alan’s wife, Annette (riveting Allison Gamlen) appears to be an elegant, restrained upscale professional. But under pressure, she reveals depths of anger and hypocrisy. She particularly objects to her husband’s constant cell phone calls—leading to a comic explosion."
- Robert M. Gardner, Theatrius

​—Vic Cordell, Cordell Reports

"Allison Gamlen as Pattie has her own set of complexities starting with avoidance. Her foul-mouth is saying one thing, but her eyes often reveal another..."
—Kelly Rogers Flynt, Broadway World

Murder on the Nile

"Simon Mostyn breaks off their engagement [to] Jackie’s best friend, the rich beauty Kay Mostyn (Allison Gamlen). Though she’s only in a few scenes, Gamlen makes an indelible impression with her savoir faire, attractiveness, permed hair wig and gorgeous costumes."
- Joanne Englehardt, Aisle Seat Review

The Anthrax Factory 

"Allison Gamlen, an acclaimed actress and drama teacher at Hillsdale High School, plays Mary, the story’s heroine.
Christgau praised Gamlen’s grace on the stage. “Oh she is good,” he said. “She is the master of the role.”
