Sheryl Carbonell as Mama Nadi in Lynn Nottage's 'RUINED' - Empty Spaces Theatre
"Ruined's tale is horrifyingly ugly and uncomfortably real, especially in its rawest moments as rendered by Carbonell, Love and Victrum."

Sheryl as Stepp Sister in 'DREAMGIRLS' musical - Mad Cow Theatre
Sheryl as Ruth Younger in 'A RAISIN IN THE SUN' - American Stage Theatre
"...Scene Two that brings tears to any viewer’s eyes. His chemistry with Ruth is like watching a couple slowly dance to slow jazz, especially when watching Sheryl Carbonell’s magnetic portrayal of a woman who is torn between standing by her man or rebelling against Walter Lee’s selfish nature. She is Linda to King’s Willy Loman. A truly a heartbreaking experience.
PETER BALASKAS - SPLASH MAGAZINE
"...As Ruth, one of the harder roles to play because she doesn't have the same histrionics as the rest of the cast, Sheryl Carbonell is brilliant in her quieter moments. There is an instant where everyone else onstage is ready to give up, but she so wants her life to change, but her desperate pleas fall on deaf ears. Ruth is drowning, and she knows it, and we know it. It's galvanizing and tears out your heart; she wants out more than anything--a new start for her family and her unborn child. And Carbonell portrays this winningly...."

"...was mightily impressed..."his cast does nothing to remind you of the now-iconic performances..." The dramatic tension in each scene is unobtrusively screwed up to the highest possible pitch." -Mr. Terry Teachout, the Journal’s drama critic.
WALL STREET JOURNAL
“Christopher Sergel’s workmanlike 1991 stage adaptation of “Mockingbird,” a regional-theater staple that I saw done three years ago by Florida’s Orlando Shakespeare Theatre, is both truer to the book and far more dramatically effective. Moreover, that company’s small-scale staging, sensitively directed by Thomas Ouellette, was superior in every way to Bartlett Sher’s overblown, over-designed Broadway version...”.

Sheryl Carbonell as Cleopatra in 'ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA' opposite Michael Dorn from Star Trek
Orlando Shakespeare Theatre ...Orlando Shakespeare Theatre
"...Antony as played by Michael Dorn, fights to keep death at bay in order to see his beautiful and complicated lover Cleopatra one last time, as was played during the April 12th performance by Caralyn Kozlowski’s understudy, Sheryl Carbonell..."
SCI-FI PULSE ..."Sheryl Remekie Carbonell just went onstage for Shakespeare's most challenging, complex, and colorful character, Cleopatra. Not only did she do this with only four rehearsals under her belt, she did it with a brightness and commitment that inspired those of us watching from backstage. I'm so happy I got to know you this year, Sheryl, and happier to have shared the stage with you tonight!"...
