Paige Rogers

"It’s glorious and weird, 
and you absolutely shouldn’t miss it.

In Cutting Ball's new production, translated and directed by Rob Melrose, the play is as revelatory as ever, in part because it's much funnier than you might remember. That's very much to Melrose's credit, but he is helped tremendously by Paige Rogers, who finds just the right pitch for her batty housewife. (She manages to say things like "I don't know enough Spanish to understand myself" with the deranged dignity of someone who puts great stock in her own nonsense.)​"

San Francisco Weekly

"Associate artistic director Rogers is a delight as the preternaturally chipper hostess Mrs. Smith, with a placid, singsong voice and all the poise of a mannequin.​

​A Surreal Delight...
It’s a lively production of a compact gem that could just as easily be impenetrable in less capable hands… Translator/director Melrose’s crisp 65-minute staging brings out (the) humor beautifully and makes even the more abstruse patches entertaining."

-Sam Hurwitt

​Marin Independent Journal

"Paige Rogers brilliantly portrays a complex Lady Macbeth.  The audience will alternatively despise her and yet somehow sympathize with her.  An incredibly well-modulated performance.

The Bald Soprano - The cutting Ball Theater

"Cast and director ground the play’s giddy, unhinged quality in bright, highly articulate, physically taut comedic performances."
-Rob Avila
San Francisco Bay Guardian

"The Cutting Ball ensemble functions like a well-oiled machine… Within Melrose’s tight orchestration, each actor finds whole volumes of delicious nuances."
