“Something spectacular and special and very different occurred at the Renaissance Room in Peterborough on Friday, August 3, and anyone who wasn’t there for the Karyn Levitt performance missed a truly great event.

“Ms. Levitt enchanted and thrilled an audience which overflowed into the street as she threaded her way through several Puccini arias, lines from Tennessee Williams and Chekhov, added a dash of Gershwin, and pulled it all together into a stunning show.

“I sat mesmerized by her talent and joined some forty other people in vigorous and loud applause over and over again.

“Karyn Levitt is a delight and thanks to Jacquie and Bill Perry and their Renaissance Room, we were indeed fortunate to have such an amazing performer come to Peterborough.”

— Judith Stout, letter to the editor, published in the Monadnock Ledger

“An inventive, entertaining, and perceptive performer... We are delighted that Karyn Levitt brought ‘Lyrics by Shakespeare’ to Oberlin and are happy to recommend her and her shows to other institutions interested in the creative intersections of dramatic literature, music, poetry, and theater.”

— Phyllis Gorfain, Professor of English, Oberlin College

“We were at the Goddard House a week or go ago to hear you sing Yiddish Music. You were wonderful and we so enjoyed hearing you.

“We got great pleasure in watching Leon kvell as he listened to every lyric, every note, every story. You gave him great memories and you gave all of us a delightful evening. We'd love to hear you again and again.”

— Arlene Lewis and Leon Bleich
