Testimonials
“As a working and active director and producer (and former ICM Agent), I have seen my share of actresses but I have to say Kathleen is one of the best actresses I have ever had the pleasure of watching. She has a huge heart and uses it in her work, which can not help but affect and engage the audience intensely. Her authenticity, precision and spirit has few peers. I can’t wait to work with her again.”
Jim Jermanok, Film Writer, Director, Producer, New York City
“I recently directed Kathleen as an actor on a short improvisational film project. Kathleen is an incredible artist to work and collaborate with, with an incredible emotional range and an intricate and highly impressive knowledge of her craft. As I learned very quickly on the production Kathleen’s ability to improvise and push a scene dramatically is second to none. I would recommend Kathleen to anyone looking to work with an astonishingly talented actor.”

Reviews for Theatre and Film Performances (Being added here soon!)
As Gertrude in Hamlet:
“... with Kathleen Warner Yeates being a tower of strength as the conflicted Gertrude.”
Examiner, Dublin
… solemnly impressive performances from Paul Kealyn and Kathleen Warner Yeates as the King and Queen.”
Emer O’Kelly, Sunday Independant, Ireland
“… a very controlled and confident Kathleen Warner Yeates.”
Red Curtain Review, Ireland
“…the weak-willed Queen — Kathleen Warner Yeates’s handwringing, drink-dependent Gertrude. In addition to a hinted Oedipal relationship with her son, Warner Yeates adds intemperance, avarice and an all-too-mutable loyalty to her list of sins.”
Paul Kelly, The Local News, Dublin
As Babe in Crimes of the Heart
“… touchingly realistic characterization, both sad and funny.”
Main Line Times, Philadelphia, PA
“… fine character work… wonderful to watch.”
Suburban and Wayne Times, PA
As Polly Peachum in Brecht’s The Threepenny Opera
“… perfect in the role, delicate and funny, with a charm reminiscent of Amy Irving.”
Main Line Times, Philadelphia, PA
“… has the voice and dramatic style to master Weill’s jagged, unmelodic tunes and Brecht’s rough and roughing lyrics.”
The Philadephia Inquirer, Philadelphia, PA
“… voice, look, and personality came together to result in an interesting and amusing character.”
Catholic Standard and Times, Philadelphia, PA
As Jane in When it Hits the Air
“… with her excellent timing and superbly comic flair manages to save many a sagging moment.”
Center City Weekly, Philadelphia, PA
“… plays the role with zest and a sure sense of caricature.”
Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia, PA
As The Daughter of Indra in A Dream Play
“… a real acting feat, bringing sense and depth to a character which is written as a whispy cloud.”
Chestnut Hill Local, Philadelphia, PA
“… gracious, curious, empathetic and believable.”
Suburban and Wayne Times, PA
“… a vibrant actress!”
Center City Weekly, Philadelphia, PA
As Dora Van Tyne in Romance on the Rails
“… a joy to watch, flashing feathers and mink stoles with a big city panache, prancing and preening like a Wild West Sarah Bernhardt”.
The Bakersfield Californian, CA
As Ellen the Cunning Woman in Vinegar Tom
“…among the more convincing portrayals… Kathleen L. Warner as the herbalist known as the Cunning Woman who sees the writing on the wall.”
Backstage, NYC
As Mary Killoran the lead role in the feature film “Killers”
“Fine acting by both Hugh O’Gorman… and Kathleen Warner as… Mary Killoran…”
