"Into the mix steps Karen, played to perfection by Marsh. [...] The show belongs to Marsh, who sells innocence masterfully. At one point, another character asks if Karen is a witch. I'm not sure about that, but Marsh does make the fire burn and the caldron bubble under the surface of 'Plow.'" - Review of Speed-the-Plow, Rohan Preston, Star Tribune
“Jean Brodie is a tour de force waiting to happen, and Sara Marsh delivers one, making her vibrantly charismatic, but always at least a little unsettling.” - Review of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Rob Hubbard, Pioneer Press
"Sara Marsh is a revelation of comic brilliance." - Review of The Receptionist, John Townsend, Lavender Magazine
"The show is a tour de force for Marsh, who's always good and has perhaps never been better than in the role of Solange, one that seems tailor-made for her gifts of supreme resolve and physical fearlessness." - Review of The Maids, Jay Gabler, City Pages
“Two-thirds of the way into ‘Blackbird,” Harrower gives Una a brutal 1,400-word monologue — that’s worth bringing back the Ivey Awards, if only to honor Marsh for getting through it so masterfully.” - Review of Blackbird, Pamela Espeland, MinnPost
"The actors are all excellent, but I have to single out, for especial praise, Sara Marsh. Marsh plays Miss Cutts, sexpot...Obsessed with her womanliness ('Do you think I'm feminine?') she slinks and sashays and slithers through the Atrium, driving everyone crazy." - Review of The Hothouse, John Olive, How Was The Show?
"The play is a 100 minute workout for a lone actor who plays Haley...in this case, Sara Marsh, who has charisma to spare, and the ability to be sexy, funny, dim-witted, and insightful all at once…In Marsh's full throttle performance, they mine all the humor and display just how to mount a fizzy comedy, framed around a winning performance, that gives its audience a terrific time." - Review of Bad Dates, Arthur Dorman, Talkin' Broadway
"Marsh's performance in particular is riveting as she cycles through fear, disgust, rage, and a host of other emotions over the course of the play." - Review of Extremities, Lisa Brock, Star Tribune
"Every once in awhile, a play is so perfectly cast that it would be hard to imagine, moving forward, ever seeing it with anyone else in the roles. […] Put in the hands of the marvelously talented Sally Wingert and Sara Marsh, this sturdy play rises to a transcendent level." - Review of ‘Night, Mother, Arthur Dorman, Talkin' Broadway
"It is Sunshine, played by a petite performer who punches way above her weight, who brings a sense of menace to the 90-minute play...Imagine Lady Macbeth as a working girl, struggling to find a way to get her soul some nourishing light." - Review of Sunshine, Rohan Preston, Star Tribune
