Look After
You (developmental
production & 2009 NY International Fringe
Festival)
"As a theatre director, I've had the unique privilege of working with Louise Flory not only as an actor, but simultaneously as a playwright as well. This woman handled her double creative responsibilities with ease, but what was even more inspiring was the courageous vulnerability Louise brought to both her acting and her writing every single day. A mark of a true artist."
Laura Konsin, director developmental production Manhattan Repertory Theatre Winterfest
"Louise has an exceptionally deep connection to her emotional life, and is an open listener to direction."
David Stallings, director 2009 NY International Fringe Festival SoHo Playhouse
"The cast is wonderful, especially Flory in the lead, who shows no hint of self-consciousness over speaking her own words."

'Cebe
Tate' in
The Oath
(World
Premiere Spring 2009 ArcLight Theatre)
"The first production of a new play is both exciting and terrifying. Louise was the perfect actress for the piece; not only because she infused Cebe with warmth, honesty, and a tremendous soul but also because she was able to work quickly with new pages. I would work with her again on any project."
Jacqueline Goldfinger, playwright
"Louise Flory is a consummate professional. She is smart, talented, and works tirelessly at being the best in whatever role she is playing. I loved my experience working with her on 'The Oath' and I look forward to working with her again, and again."
Cristina Alicea, director
"Louise Flory’s Cebe takes the archetype of the 'hooker with a heart of gold' and makes it something complex."

"Louise
Flory strives for (and achieves) a deep emotional
connection to the projects she takes on and the
roles she plays. She is eager to engage with the
work and the process to bring the work to life. A
smart, vivacious performer!"

"We
had the immense pleasure of directing Louise in our
short film, 'Elli and the Astronaut.' Louise was –
simply put – lovely. She committed herself to
making each scene, movement and breath of dialogue
as pure as we had envisioned. We were amazed to
witness how our vision attained new levels of life
under Louise's careful treatment of her character -
and that’s what we appreciated most. She wanted to
be there, she was determined to make a great film,
and she brought everything to the table.
If making a film is war, Louise
is the type of actor you want to be in the bunker
with."

“Casting
Louise Flory was one of the best decisions I could
have made while shooting 'Issues.' Her charm and
sense of humor kept the set light and happy while
her dedication and thoroughness insured the best
possible performances. She is always looking for
ways to take risks and add more life to the
character, from script breakdowns to choice in
wardrobe and props. I can only wonder what the
character of Mack would have been like without
Louise's tireless approach to character analysis.
Full of life and a love of the craft, Louise is a
performer to be reckoned with, and has the makings
of a great director to boot. She is all-class-
classic look and classy attitude. When time is
running out and the production is on the line,
Louise is the kind of actress you want in front of
the camera and on your set.”

"Louise
Flory played the lead in our first independent
feature film 'Paper Cut.' She brought
professionalism and grace to this project and the
seasoned sense of an actress twice her age! Always
punctual and always hard working, she made the film
shoot easy and fun. She has the innate ability to
listen and follow direction, but also the ability
to understand the project at hand and suggest
constructive feedback to the film and its script
without being overwhelming or overbearing. If I
could work with a hundred Louises filming movies
would be the easiest job in the world. From start
to finish she devotes 100% and I would work with
her any and every time I possibly can!"

Motel: family values
(World
Premiere Fall 2008, Sanford Meisner Theatre)
"Louise is a powerful artist. She immerses herself in a role to an astounding degree. She brought to life all the humour, toughness and fragility of the character I wrote in Sunset Motel. Within a thirty five minute running time, she portrayed a complete human being, not just a collection of ideas and impulses. A joy to work with."
Paul Weissman, playwright
"Louise Flory is the kind of person who not only brings professionalism to whatever she does, but the great ability to think on the fly and jump in with new ideas wherever they are needed."
