July 2006 - JEWEL BY JOAN MACLEOD
TARRAGON EXTRA SPACE - By Steve Tilley
Playwright Joan MacLeod's one-woman emotional odyssey returns to the place of its 1987 Toronto premiere, and it still packs a wallop. Three years after losing her husband in the 1982 sinking of the oil rig Ocean Ranger, Marjorie Clifford (a captivating Tee Schneider) is on the cusp of letting go of her grief. There's nary a wasted word in this funny, angry and triumphant portrait of a life transformed by sudden loss, and the long, bittersweet process of saying goodbye. You've never seen an audience so silently engrossed in a single performance, except for the muffled sobbing at the end.

TARRAGON EXTRA SPACE - By David Balzer
Tee Schneider gives a capable, emotion-drenched performance as Marjorie Clifford, the ailing widow of Joan MacLeod’s celebrated 1985 play ...a warm performance by Tee Schneider. Schneider is wonderful when she's wistful and weepy ...commendably authentic.

July 2007 - LOOKING AFTER EDEN BY STEPHEN MASSICOTTE
DIRECTED BY TEE SCHNEIDER
ST. VLAD'S THEATRE
A cynic and an optimist housesit together and slowly fall in love. Like a gentler Mamet, writer Stephen Massicotte creates a unique rhythm that actors Greg Schneider and Jayne Collins bring alive. Fresh staging includes marking the passage of time by wearing different T-shirts, entrances and exits through the audience, a movable set and a fervent Britney Spears dance sequence.
