- Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco. Examiner

LAKE NO BOTTOM

Pacific Alliance Stage Co.
"PETRA"
Best Performances of '96
Steven Winn - San Francisco Chronicle
“Dines, in a fine performance that exudes the stifled potency of Petra in exile, is the sparkling country hostess...here makes her feline sensuality a window into something sad and self-knowing about Petra."
- Steven Winn, San Francisco Chronicle
“Dines' inscrutable Petra is absolutely absorbing. With a throaty voice and droll timing, Dines creates a character who seems almost worth all the child's play that she draws from the two grown men scrambling after her.”
- Gretchen Giles, Sonoma County Independent
“...But it is bored, impulsive seductress Petra (the remarkable, husky-voiced Dines) who prods the emotions of the two men and sets the plot to simmering.”
- Gene Price , San Francisco Bay Times
CAST: Don Bilotti (L), Keith Burkland (R) I DIRECTOR: John Higgins
