REVIEWS
A BODY OF WATER
"Treva Tegtmeier’s knockout emotional performance as a distraught woman caught up in a repeating-yet-shifting nightmare is awesome." - Stage & Cinema
"The cast is superb. The characters of Moss and Avis, blank slates to start with, become ever more complicated as the action unfolds. To the cast—bravo, brava, bravissimi tutti!" - Theatre Notes
"Ladd and Tegtmeier are consistently engaging as the bewildered amnesiacs." - Los Angeles Times
"Tegtmeier, Ladd, and Beech are superb as the trio trapped inside their puzzling and perplexing world, a world which cannot be depended upon to help them escape their lonely lives. " - Elaine Mura, Splash Magazine
"Bruce Ladd and Treva Tegtmeier have an easy chemistry even as they uneasily determine if they are friends or foes. It’s compelling to feel the subconscious, visceral force that pulls them together despite their uncertainty." - Taylor Kass, Stage Raw
"…A trio of performances so memorable, even Moss and Avis could scarcely forget them." - Steven Stanley, StageSceneLA
"A talented trio of actors … There is not a false move. Bruce Ladd as Moss and Treva Tegtmeier as Avis are a perfectly matched twosome." - Rob Stevens, HainesHisWay
STEEL MAGNOLIAS
“David Schall Theatre audiences should expect to be controlling their sobbing and waterworks hearing Tegtmeier’s tearjerking monologue of M’Lynn. Brava, Ms. Tegtmeier. ” - BroadwayWorld
“Treva Tegtmeier gets to do a lot of the heavy lifting as M’Lynn, Shelby’s protective and caring mother, and she does it without breaking a sweat.” - Rob Stevens, Haines His Way
“Tegtmeier is maternal warmth personified as salt-of-the earth M’Lynn, and if her eleventh-hour emotional meltdown is as devastating as eleventh-hour emotional meltdowns get, leave it to Harling to follow it with Steel Magnolia’s laugh-gettingest surprise.” - Steven Stanley, StageSceneLA
“Tegtmeier excels as concerned and controlling mother M’Lynn, hitting just the right notes throughout.” - Stage Raw
33 VARIATIONS
"Tegtmeier's work, simple and true, seems born of an all-consuming dedication to individual moments which when compiled render a character arc that is the very essence of believability." - Dink O'Neal
110 IN THE SHADE
"Tegtmeier mingles wistful desperation with delicacy of feeling..." - stageraw.com
"Tegtmeier's layered acting - equal parts moxie, angst and heartbreak - make her Lizzie a monumental achievement...Tegtmeier has the crowd eating out of the palm of her hand from the moment she arrives on stage." - stageandcinema.com
"The wonderful Tegtmeier makes a welcome return to the stage, investing Lizzie with equal parts aching loneliness and indomitable spirit in a performance of dramatic power and depth, with just enough self-depricating humor to season the mix, and a soprano by turns delicate and dramatic." -stagescenela
DAMN YANKEES
"...with her extraordinary singing voice, Treva Tegtmeier is a torrid Lola whose lush sexiness makes 'Whatever Lola Wants' more a promise than a parody!" - F Kathleen Foley, LA TIMES
"Treva Tegtmeier is a hit as sultry seductress Lola. She covers the whole field, from a little pouty to a little lusty, in 'A Little Talent,' and though she doesn't get Joe's heart and soul in 'Whatever Lola Wants,' she has no trouble grabbing his and our attention! - Terri Roberts, BACKSTAGE WEST, Critic's Pick
SHE LOVES ME
"...and the luminous performance of Tegtmeier who sings as well as she acts and vice versa...The longing just oozes from Tegtmeier's 'Will He Like Me?' and her Amalia also instills a world of heartbreak into the sadly comical anthem to being stood up, 'Dear Friend'...One of the marvels of the show is watching Hinman and Tegtmeier become more personally drawn to each other as Amalia's blossoming attraction to Georg bursts forth in Tegtmeier's exuberant rendition of 'Vanilla Ice Cream.'" - Julio Martinez, VARIETY
"The thawing friction and eventual tenderness between Hinman and Tegtmeier is thoroughly convincing. Tegtmeier's voice is superbly expressive and musical." - Philip Brandes, LA TIMES
