Murder in Green Meadows

Kos brings an irresistible dry wit to the production in a marvelously controlled performance.

Kos is perhaps the strength of the ensemble. She plays outwardly and entices the audience with homely charm.

— Pulse Niagara, Al Szky, October 2004

Her portrayal of Carolyn Symons, a brilliant woman who easily cuts through her husband’s guff even as she tips toward mental instability, is a subtle characterization that offers emotional implications that go well beyond contrived dialogue.

Electra

…Kos is a cool and regal Clytemnestra, calmly displaying her evil on a mouth that turns upward at the corners in an expression of deep self-satisfaction and disdain at the utter ordinariness of being less conniving than herself. For Orestes, the revenging brother and son, Kos skillfully transforms herself into a firm, masculine figure.

The Misanthrope

I especially liked Kristen Kos as Eliante…vocally introduced enough cadence from realistic theatre to relieve the more formal verse rhythms of the others.

My Sister in This House

Very strong performances by the entire ensemble. Each actor creates a polished and fully dimensioned person with minimal strokes of the actorly brush.

— Artvoice, Anthony Chase, March 2003

All four performers…are outstanding, delivering nuanced portrayals of psychologically complex characters, and they play off each other beautifully…

Penumbra

Miss Kos is a happy discovery, as she navigates her scheming and confidently sexual character with skill and remarkable physical ease. She speaks beautifully; she walks beautifully; she even sits and stands beautifully. She and Miss Kelly make a wonderfully engaging pair, a study of physical contrast and yet a perfect match.

— Artvoice, Anthony Chase, February 2002

…It is the superb fire-and-ice acting that unlatches the souls of these two sisters. Kos’ Nora is all drama and calculated darkness. She reveals herself by concealment.
