"As Henrietta, Courtney Wood evinces such avid curiosity about the world, she seems to gulp for air. Wood makes her character's ambition to understand the universe an unquenchable desire; we understand too well that she'll sacrifice anything for it."

“The cast is so talented. I can’t say enough good things about Courtney Wood who played Junie B. As a former teacher, I had high hopes for this play and she did not disappoint. I have read these books to countless students as well as my nieces and my own children. Ms. Wood brought this one-of-a-kind character to life and had the entire audience in the palm of her hand.” --Katie, Lex Fun 4 Kids Writer lexfun4kids.com/junie-b-jones-is-not-a-crook-at-the-lexington-childrens-theatre/ "Courtney Wood... delivered a virtuoso comic performance as Sylvia, combining the frenetic physicality of a young dog with the roller-coster emotions of a teenage girl." --Jim Lowe, Theater Review: Sylvia by A.R Gurney at Lost Nation Theater lostnationtheater.org/jim-lowe-reviews-sylvia-02-24-17.html Photo Credit: Lost Nation Theater, John Snell |
"Wood plays 24 roles and conjures up as many as five people onstage simultaneously, distinguishing each with pinpoint physical and vocal characteristics. Her pliability is intoxicating in itself, but what mesmerizes is her ability to capture the tension in each moment. The play's circumstances contribute some suspense, but Wood intensifies the mood to give the audience a constant concern for the outcome"...."Wood is so physically and vocally agile that viewers have difficulty taking their eyes off her. But it's her emotional range that distinguishes this performance, and her effulgent presence that leaves the viewer with an image of hope amid cultural despair."

"There’s one word to describe Courtney Wood’s performance in “The Syringa Tree”: riveting. "

"Perhaps the funniest couple, though, was the shepherd, Silvius, madly in love with Phebe, who is in love with Ganymede (Rosalind in disguise). Scott Renzoni and Courtney Wood, respectively, were simply lovable and hilarious."

"Along came the ghost of Christmas Past, Courtney Wood. She whirled and twirled around the stage like Peter Pan and started Scrooge’s amazing journey. Wood was effervescent and righteously combative with old Scrooge."
