THE MOUSETRAP
Fulton Theatre
“Kate Fahrner is a feisty, independent young woman as Miss Casewell. Kate’s confidence and strength is effortless.” -fig
THE CHRISTIANS
Gulfshore Playhouse
“Ms. Fahrner’s confrontation is heartfelt...This little 90 minute play packs a wallop.” - Naples Florida Weekly
AN IDEAL HUSBAND
Walnut Street Theatre
"Mrs. Cheveley had the right mixture of aristocratic reserve and low-born aggression thanks to Kate Fahrner, whose porcelain appearance suggested her nonporous shield of self-interest." - The Inquirer
"Kate Fahrner is devilishly delightful as the unremorseful blackmailer, Mrs. Cheveley." - AISLE Say Philadelphia
MISS SAIGON
Walnut Street Theatre
"The absolute vocal powerhouse in this cast, however, is Kate Fahrner, as Chris’ American wife, Ellen. Her voice is incredibly strong, soaring and clear in her duet with Kim (“I Still Believe”); additionally, her dramatic skill in the moving “Now That I’ve Seen Her” is utterly stunning. Hers is by far the finest example I have witnessed in a long while of truly acting a song. Ellen gets little time onstage to establish her character — Fahrner makes every moment count and delivers an exceedingly raw, believable and wonderfully touching performance."
-STAGE magazine
"The true highlights of this production are Mel Sagrado Maghuyop as the Engineer and Kate Fahrner as Ellen. Fahrner, alone on stage, devastates with “Now That I’ve Seen Her.” Both actors bring intensity to their parts. Every moment feels new; every note, fresh." - The Philly Post
"Kate Fahrner as Ellen is vocally wonderful and one of the most believable characters in the show."

"The new American bride, Ellen, is fleshed out nicely, and Kate Fahrner, who plays her, is given a show-stopping ballad." - Broad Street Review

CABARET
John W. Engeman Theatre
"Fahrner truly shines when she belts out "Cabaret", her eyes vacant and large and her hands like vices around her microphone, as she expresses her fear for her future." -Theatremania
"The star of the Kit Kat Club as well as the show itself is Kate Fahrner as Sally Bowles, a free spirit both sexually and musically. She believes she has no constraints, is obviously top talented and in charge of her own destiny. Fahrner has a commanding beauty and a powerful voice capable of turning just the right shade of the blues with the near bombast of "Cabaret" in what could easily be march tempo." -Times Beacon Record
"Kate Fahrner imbues Sally with both a childlike petulance and world-weariness that suits the character well; her delivery of the show’s 11 o’clock title number is a breathtaking knockout." - Metro

BORN YESTERDAY
Walnut Street Theatre
"Kate Fahrner is all you could ask for..." - Broad Street Review
"Fahrner's simply adorable, both in her initial idiocy (who wouldn't want her around) and in her later change of heart..." - EDGE Philadelphia
" As Billie...Fahrner is completely charming and, to use one of the new words Billie learns, Superb - or, as she would say it, 'supoib.'" - TalkinBroadway.com
