What critics have to say about Diana Cherkas
The Unfortunates ______________________________________________
"It is an hour and a half of theater that is not to be missed!...In the role of Mary Jane Kelly, played masterfully by Diana Cherkas...Cherkas's tour de force performance lets us picture Victorian mores, hypocrisy and debauchery."
Ruth Ross, NJ Arts Maven

"Playing the 25 year old Mary, and all the other parts, is the amazingly talented actress, Diana Cherkas. Cherkas...masterfully commands the attention of the audience while assuming these roles with a variety of surprisingly easy to understand cockney accents."
Rick Busciglio, Examiner

Loose Knit ______________________________________________
"Diana Cherkas enhances Liz's tart nature through her own Bebe-Neuwirth-mixed-with-Bea-Arthur sensibility."
Peter Filichia, Star Ledger

"The lovely and deftly comedic Diana Cherkas portrays Liz with a verve and sparkle that belies the false notion that being strong and dominant need compromise a woman's feminine appeal."
- Bob Rendell, Talking Broadway

Modern Love is Automatic ______________________________________________
"Diana Cherkas...stands out as Emily, Lorraine’s co-worker with a seemingly picture perfect partner. You could imagine "Going to the Chapel" playing in her scenes as she gushes about her saccharine sweet fiance. Clark allows her to have a substantial scene later in the film that allows Emily to transcend the two-dimensional character her type would usually be in lesser films."
- Adam Sweeney, FilmSchoolRejects

A Laughing Matter ______________________________________________
"Diana Cherkas is so distinctive as a foul-mouthed actress, and then a modest maiden, that it's not hard to assume that different women are playing the parts."
- Peter Filichia, Star-Ledger Staff

Haunted House ______________________________________________
"Not for a minute could we see Cherkas's nerd-chic Lucy as anything less than fully fleshed, from the way she melts into the giddy joy of feeling thirteen again, to the way she battles her impulses to try and find what she really wants.
"
- Aaron Riccio, New Theater Corps
