As The Baker's Wife in Into the Woods
The Roxy Theatre, TN
|
“Stricker-Dispensa, as the Baker's Wife, creates a portrayal that is at once sentimental
and no-nonsense, giving her line readings a deeper meaning while ensuring that her musical performances,
particularly Moments in the Woods and Children Will Listen in the plays closing moments, are notable.”
“...[Ryan Bowie's]
duets with Stricker-Dispensa are genuinely heartfelt.”
~Jeffrey Ellis -

“The cast was superb from...the beautiful trio of strong female characters that every young
girl would want to emulate (Kera Halbersleben, Rachael Fogle, and Heather Stricker-Dispensa)”

As Showgirl/Lick-Me Bite-Me in The Producers
The Showpalace Theatre, FL
|
“Every ensemble actor is top notch...The ensemble shines in Opening Night and the chorus
line of sex starved elderly women, tap tapping out a production number with their walkers, and later as show
girls as they perform Springtime for Hitler.”
~Marsha Reiniers - Hernando Today
As Doris MacAfee in Bye Bye Birdie
Naples Dinner Theatre, FL
|
“In a hilarious scene, she calls her mother, Doris, charmingly played by Heather Stricker [Dispensa]...”

As Princess Serena in The Son of the Sheik
The Gaslight Theatre, AZ
|
“Stricker-Dispensa comes back with a bang. Not only can this performer sing and act,
her comedic timing and expressive face are a delightful sight to behold.”
~Regina Ford - Green Valley News and Sun
“Stricker-Dispensa, as the virtuous Princess Serena, successfully channels every blond
ingénue in existence, from imperiled Pauline, to Disney princess, to teenage Valley Girl. She belts out
hits with the rest of the cast, and gets a few opportunities to show off her classically trained soprano.”
~Nathan Christensen - The Tucson Weekly
As Christine in The Phantom of the Opera
The Gaslight Theatre, AZ
|
“Heather Stricker [Dispensa], in a long blond wig and with big, batting eyes, played Christine, an
opera singer and object of the Phantom's desire. Her voice can be thrilling, and she's not afraid to belt it out.”
~Kathleen Allen - Arizona Daily Star
As Estrella Santiago in Zerro Rides Again
The Gaslight Theatre, AZ
|
“The heroine, Estrella Santiago, described as a firey young lady" is played to
perfection by Heather Stricker [Dispensa].”
~Daniel Buckley - Tucson Citizen
“It upsets Don Emilio's beautiful daughter, Estrella Santiago (Heather Stricker [Dispensa]),
who can carry a tune with the best of them.”
~~Kathleen Allen - Arizona Daily Star
As Rosina in The Barber of Seville
The University of Arizona
|
“Heather Stricker [Dispensa's] Rosina was as flawless as Goltz's Figaro. Rossini stuck her with
tremendous vocal challenges in the form of florid coloratura gymnastics.
Stricker tossed them off with the clarity and faceted perfection of cut glass.”
~Daniel Buckley - Tucson Citizen
