“All the actors have fun with their roles..with Ms. Treadway standing out in particular as the blithely chipper Clara, blissfully inhabiting her own placid world and seemingly untouched by her husband’s recent demise — at least at first.”
-New York Times
 
“Dudley matriarch Clara (played with stirring focus by Erin Treadway) has to jump into the kitchen cabinets to break them open and serve dinner in an early scene.”
–Theatre Is Easy

MS. JULIE, ASIAN EQUITIES

“…a menacing Wall Street office ruled by Erin Treadway’s ferocious Julie. The adaptation follows the beats of the original, but the intimacy and outstanding performances from the three-person cast made it an unforgettable new experience.”

“what makes the play so enjoyable is the stellar cast; everyone, primarily the core family members, do a wonderful job of breathing life into their characters. Stand outs included... Erin Treadway who delivers the most touching performance of all as a wife who tried her best to stand by her undeniably flawed man till the very end… The story is compelling, as is much of the acting (the core cast that comprises the family was simply awesome, especially the mother (Treadway) and youngest son).”
--Matt Hawkins, fort90.com
 
“The ensemble cast is superb. In particular, Erin Treadway hits all the right notes as Tom's widow Clara, trying to fight increasing suicidal impulses and obsessing with religion though being unable to choose one (after being Mormon all her life, she decides she wants to convert to Judaism shortly after Tom's funeral). She seems simultaneously manic and haggard, desperately blathering away about the Bible to her children while completely oblivious to the fact that none of even pretend to listen.”
--James Comtois, jamespeak.com
 
“Erin Treadway, a frequent collaborator of Stevens, gives an extraordinary portrayal of great depth and maturity as Clara.”
--Martin Denton, nytheatre.com

"and the tired mother Clara, played by Erin Treadway, each suffering over the death of the family patriarch Tom…shining bright is Treadway, whose portrayal of Clara is multi-layered, showing the inner pain while at the same time playing her moments of dark humor to the best of her ability, keeping the audience on their toes.”
--Ryan E. Johnson, Austin Theatre Examiner

“Erin Treadway gives a transformative performance as Cleo. ”
–Theatre in the Now
 
“Cleo is the playwright’s greatest and most complex invention. Splendidly embodied by Ms. Treadway, Cleo is both socially naïve and gifted with a creative imagination, possessing a mind that explodes with a whirlwind of images colored by her experiences with fairy tales, Abbott and Costello routines, The Wizard of Oz, and Gone With the Wind.”
–Talkin’ Broadway
 
“Older daughter Cleo (Erin Treadway, in a lovely performance) was born with mental and speech deficits…It is her yearning for love that forms the play’s emotional center…Treadway’s Cleo is a spirit too good and gentle for the life to which she was born, who nonetheless bears her lot with a grace that eludes the rest of her family.  ”
–Olivia Jane Smith, New York Theatre Review
 
“Another standout is Treadway. As Cleo, she imparts the naïveté and childlike innocence of someone whose mind is always a little bit hazy. She very organically inhabits the physicality of a mentally disabled person without turning her into a caricature. Cleo’s natural warmth and tenderness are moving and her insight into her own limitations is heartbreaking.”
–Stage Buddy
 
“Erin Treadway steals the show as Cleo. She captures Cleo’s innocence and unspeakable pain excellently. She doesn’t give us a stereotypical portrayal of disability, but rather a human with all the complexities, trapped in a limited body and mind. ”
–Theatre That Matters
 
“Erin Treadway is stunning as Cleo – she does not portray “special needs” nor a series of symptoms nor rely on cliches, but instead brings to life an utterly unique young woman in all of her complexity, whose reality and emotions shift ever so subtly with every breath”
–Julie Congress, Indie Theatre Now

“And if you’ve never given the tragic Methot (a luminous Erin Treadway) a second thought, or even a first one, chances are she’ll haunt you and any future glimpses of Bogart you might enjoy.”
-The Village Voice

 
“his washed-up wife, Mayo Methot (Erin Treadway), keeps crashing the set like an alcoholic Norma Desmond.”
-offoffoline

 
“One of the few interesting touches is the appearance of Humphrey Bogart’s abusive, alcoholic, actress wife, Mayo Methot (well played by Erin Treadway).”
-Thearescene.net

“Still, there are moments: Methot [Treadway] and Casey act a painful scene together beautifully”
-Helen Shaw, Time Out NY

“As the lynchpin of the production, Erin Treadway plays a marvelous Jocasta. Watching her transform from a vainglorious mother who wishes to be remembered for her familial sacrifices to a pathetic wretch driven mad from her losses is truly gut-wrenching. She delivers lines like, “It’s odd, but when I look back on it, my life is actually more fulfilling that it feels,” with an incredible mixture of passion and aloofness.”
--Timothy John Papp, offoffonline
 
“It is, in short, off-off-Broadway at its best…The actors, they’re all terrific here. Erin Treadway flexes acting muscles she probably didn’t know she had as the raging, aging matriarch Jocasta.”
--Martin Denton, nytheatre.com

“actress Treadway masterfully holds us for over 90-minutes of an intense endurance event of a performance”
-Culturebot

“And Ms. Treadway plays her astronaut with a dogged enthusiasm and an utter lack of vanity”
-The New York Times


“Treadway portrays Molly Jennis with remarkable stamina and without shame, flying from self-contained conversation to self-contained conversation with gusto and charm, turning Stevens’ words into an utter dance…it’s a journey fit for a storytelling athlete creating an action-packed spectacle.”
-New York Theatre Review

“the extraordinarily talented Erin Treadway, who starred in this new play by the Loading Dock Theatre gave a tour-de-force rocketship of a performance”
-Yes Broadway

“a strangely authentic and naturalistic Erin Treadway”
-Theatre Pizzazz

“The daunting task of spending 100 minutes with one performer is never exhausting, endlessly alluring, and hits all the marks of a play with nice movement.”
-Stage Buddy

“Embodying this gallant heroine is Erin Treadway, in a performance of extraordinary range and depth and mettle: this is one of the most astonishingly controlled and nuanced pieces of acting I have seen in a very long time, and anyone interested in seeing a fine actor at the peak of her powers will want to catch Spaceman and witness Treadway’s work.”
–Martin Denton, nytheatre.com
 
“Demon­strating extraordinary range and stamina in the role, Treadway rides a harrowing emotional seesaw while holding the audience’s focus confi­dently. Her performance leads the audience to experience some thrill­ing tensions. One such scene, maybe the show’s high point, comes in second half. Her character has inexplicably slumbered for 18 hours and now faces a psych test from Houston. Gennis barrels through it, delivering confident answers to increasingly surreal questions. Finally, she hears “We Are the Champions” and hoots in triumph.”
–Aaron Grunfeld, The New York Review of Science Fiction December 2012

“Cleo the oldest daughter is severely dyslexic and mentally handicapped — an earnest, striving young woman old before her time, bewildered by language that twists and turns on her mind the way a live snake might. In this role Erin Treadway delivers a performance that will break your heart, first to last, certainly one of the year’s most impressive dramatic performances.”
–Michael Meigs, Austin Live Theatre

“The others in the company, all splendid, are…Erin Treadway (his smothering, hyper-religious mother).”
 
 “Characters include a snake and a rooster (smartly realized by actors Erin Treadway and Trisha Henson, respectively.”
