Experience

Praise for Paige's show Buttercream & Scotch:

"Paige Collette is brazenly, unselfconciously wonderful as Aunt Gigi. . .The creation of
Gigi alone is worth the price of admission. . . funny. . . hilarious. . . delightfully weird. . .
Gigi's character and plotline are a bullet that zip straight through the middle of the play,
sharpening everything around them. . . damn ballsy. . ." --Matthew A. Everett, Twin Cities
Daily Planet, 7/15/11

Praise for Paige in The Climate Chronicles:

"Paige Collette really brings it as the spunky dissenter of the group, trying to free herself
from her marriage to Donovan. . . She’s a fun and compelling presence onstage." --Andy
Horowitz, Culturebot NYC, 11/14/11

"Paige Collette makes a spectacularly bizarre entrance as Lily. . . using her earrings to clip
damp sheets of paper to an oscillating fan." --Mitch Montgomery, Backstage NYC, 11/11/11
