Ms. Bansavage is a striking-looking woman with a rich, fascinating voice.

It is a performance that makes you want to head to the box office

after the curtain to buy seats for the next show.”

“Lisa Bansavage holds her own master class in bravura acting.

It is impossible to take your eyes off her … Bansavage commands

the stage as she paints emotion-laden word pictures.”
