Reviews
Dancing at Lughnasa - Second Story Repertory
"Ingrid Sanai Buron has the very difficult task of portraying Rose Mundy, the sister with some type of learning or mental disability. What is most striking is Buron's ability to give Rose her own will and determination." - Broadway World
Unnecessary Farce - Edmonds Driftwood Players
"Ingrid Sanai Buron as Mary Meekly, though she be but little, she is fierce." - Broadway World
Chemical Imbalance: A Jekyll & Hyde Play - The Phoenix Theater
"...But tragedy strikes when a vicious attack on a lap dog, by an unidentified miscreant, leaves everyone terrified. The attacker, of course, is Jekyll's alter ego, Hyde.
Plodgett the cook (with her Scottish brogue and occasional references to Haggis) and Ivy the clever maid still manage to serve dinner...
The entire crew of female players is a winning team: Ingrid Sanai Buron as Plodgett, Melanie Calderwood as Lady Throckmortonshire, Susan Connors as Euphronia Jekyll, Kaira Hensler as Ivy, Julia Mounce as Calliope/Penelope, Amanda Petrowski as Rosamunda Dewthistle, and Mckenzie Wilson as Ambrosia Jekyll." - The Edmonds Beacon
Dashing through the Snow - The Phoenix Theater
"The play continues on the third day with a vignette featuring a couple of thespians who sneak away to the inn during their show. Ingrid Sanai Buron as Lenora, and Jag as Ainsley, are a dynamic duo with impeccably timed banter.
As actors playing actors who put on an act to conceal their bizarre intentions, they dish up endless layers of fun for all. The craziness culminates in their abridged (and very funny) reenactment of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," which means that "Dashing" ticket-holders actually get two knee-slapping holiday plays for the price of one." - The Edmonds Beacon
The Mousetrap - Edmonds Driftwood Players
"Ingrid Sanai Buron as Mrs. Boyle is stuffy and difficult and has a glare of disapproval that makes you shrink in your seat."- Broadway World
37 Postcards - The Phoenix Theater
"37 Postcards is a play of over-the-top humor in unexpected places, and the women of the family carry the day in this one... Ingrid Sanai Buron plays the lucid and cheery Aunt Ester, who happily accepts all of the madness swirling around her — all-knowing and immune to it all, even in the thick of it...But it’s a sweet play, and this production of it — led by the sharp portrayals from Buron, Connors, and Calderwood — is very funny." - NWTheatre Quick Takes
Silent Sky - Edmonds Driftwood Players
"Ingrid Sanai Buron (Annie)... had some of the best chemistry of the cast. Each character was distinct yet very believable. As the years past in the show, their characters changed as well and, again, it was believable. Both actors were spot on with their performances." - Eclectic Arts
Ken Ludwig's Baskerville - Edmonds Driftwood Players
"The other characters, who all nearly stole the show, are played by…veteran TV actor Ingrid Sanai Buron (who previously was in Driftwood’s production of Agatha Christie’s “Spider’s Web”)."
- The Everett Herald
Spider's Web - Edmonds Driftwood Players
"You could understand it if Ingrid Sanai Buron as the lady gardener clobbered into oblivion the altogether irredeemable villain....Buron's manner is rough and tumble, and she is not above carrying on a back stabbing vendetta against the butler and his wife. Also, she is fiercely protective of the family she works for. Yet, there is something about her bumptious, over bearing ways that makes her likable." - The Enterprise
Tintypes - Renton Civic Theater
"...Ingrid Sanai Buron is equally engaging as Emma Goldman, the turn of the century radical."
- South County Journal
Opal is a Diamond - Edge of the World Theater
"Opal's best friend Rosie (Ingrid Sanai Buron) storms in, filling the room with hot Hispanic energy. Holding an egg to her ample bosom, she's incubating a chicken to replace Oscar, her dead rooster. A key ingredient to the show, Buron warms to her role, getting spicier as the action goes on. " - The Everett Herald
Mrs. California - Valley Players
"...Ingrid Sanai Buron makes a nice counterpoint as Babs, Dot's liberated friend."
- South County Journal
Playboy of the Western World - Lakewood Playhouse
"...Ingrid Sanai Buron darn near steals the show with her portrayal of the saucy Widow Quin. Oozing confidence and cunning, she is the perfect foil to Pegeen and even while nobody in the audience truly wants her to succeed in winning Christy over, they certainly want her to keep trying as things tend to get just a bit more interesting when she's around." - Tacoma City Paper
"...Ingrid Sanai Buron surely adds more that mere superlatives as she transforms a comedic stereotype into a complex, likable, refreshingly intelligent heroine, as she suffers the pangs of loneliness with courage and humor." - Tacoma News Tribune
The Servant of Two Masters - Tacoma Little Theater
"...Ingrid Sanai Buron and Matthew Schmall as Clarice and Silvio, the thwarted lovers, steal nearly every scene they are in. With her alternately childish and churlish mannerisms and his foppish, misguided heroism, they make the perfect couple, complimenting each other's foibles marvelously." - Tacoma Voice
A...My Name is Still Alice - The Performance Circle
"...Ingrid Sanai Buron sparkles with impish glee. Her spoof of weight loss centers had the audience howling. She has a pleasant voice that was well displayed in the poignant 'Wheels.'"
- Tacoma News Tribune
Stepping Out - Renton Civic Theater
"...Ingrid Sanai Buron is absolutely wonderful as the earthy, saucy Sylvia. She has an exceptionally expressive face but never crosses the line into mugging" - Seattle Times
