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
