BARNEY THE ELF – TheOtherTheatreCompany
CHICAGOLAND MUSICAL THEATER – Jane Recker
“It’s Maggie Cain as Mrs. Claus that steals the show, though. Her comedic timing is impeccable, whipping out one-liners with a dryness that comes only from years of practice and a natural gift.”
CHICAGO READER – Justin Hayford
“Ridiculous, open-hearted, trashy and touching.”
THE FOURTH WALSH – Katey Walsh
“Silkaitis has her talented crew squeezing every funny aspect out of Renaud’s ballsy script…the audience was cackling so hard, I missed several lines.”
THE HAWK – Wesley James
“Our Mrs. Claus (Maggie Cain) is a master of the critical eyebrow and the slow burn punchline.”
THE CONSULTANT – Signal Ensemble Theatre
THE FOURTH WALSH – Katey Walsh
“My favorite scene is when the confident Maggie Cain (Barbara) bursts into the reception area. She dazzles Begley with her newfound independence. Cain plays career guru perfectly. When she gives Begley her card to come to a seminar, I want to go, too.”
THE GLASS MENAGERIE – Mary-Arrchie Theatre
CHICAGO TRIBUNE – Chris Jones
“A masterpiece rendered in all its fragile beauty…If the best-of-the-year lists were not already signed, delivered and sealed, I’d be ripping them to shreds.”
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES – Hedy Weiss
“… Amanda Wingfield (Maggie Cain, spot-on as the long-ago Southern belle).”
CHICAGOLAND THEATRE REVIEWS – Dan Zeff
“Cain’s Amanda is a shrew, a caricature of a Southern belle, and a brave and resilient woman determined to keep her family afloat at all costs. It’s a wonderfully shaded piece of acting.”
MEN SHOULD WEEP – Griffin Theatre (Jeff Award – Best Play)
AROUND THE TOWN CHICAGO – Alan Bresloff: “…the hilarious Maggie Cain as Granny (after just seeing the new “Beverly Hillbillies , the Musical, I can tell you that this Granny is even funnier than that one)”
GOOD BOYS AND TRUE – Raven Theatre
CHICAGO ON THE AISLE – Lawrence B. Johnson: “Brandon’s mother is brought into vivid focus through the measured, nuanced presence of Maggie Cain”.
MOMENT – Steep Theatre
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES – Hedy Weiss: “Cain brilliantly captures Teresa’s mix of willfulness and opaqueness.”
PORNOGRAPHY – Steep Theatre
THE FOURTH WALSH – Katy Walsh: “A standout, Maggie Cain closes the show with a hysterical portrayal of a lonely old lady.”
KIN – Griffin Theatre
CHICAGO CRITIC – Clint May: “Sublime performances abound in Kin…particularly Maggie Cain as a dying former mistress).”
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES – Hedy Weiss: “…Kay (Maggie Cain is perfection), who is now dying far too early.”
THE ARAB-ISRAELI COOKBOOK – Theatre Mir
TIMEOUT – John Beer: “Particularly memorable portraits include Maggie Cain.”
