Ivette Dumeng
Actress, Director, Producer
"... you’ll understand the singular comic styling of Ivette Dumeng, who hilariously executed sexual insecurity and awkwardness alongside Debra Messing, a housepainter who gave more than a cost calculation in The Estimate.
- Forbes Magazine The Estimate by John Patrick Shanley
"Esperanza is artfully imbued by the Superb Ivette Dumeng." - Theater Mania for World Premiere Candlelight by John Patrick Shanley
"Ivette Dumeng did her homework to create a seamless characterization of Charlie Chaplin. It’s a performance that’s bound to be discussed"
-Theatre In The Now for The Chaplin Plays by Don Nigro
"Ivette Dumeng ... has the magic that captures the reason we see theater live." - Times Square Chronicles for Queen Kristina
"[Dumeng] is the “light” of the play and the actress’ natural “it” factor. She manages to humanize a character over-sexually written." - NY Theatre Guide for The Real Machiavelli
"Dumeng brings an odd sweetness to the part of Alicia and displays control of her craft on stage"
- Theatre Is Easy for Half Moon Bay by John Jiler
