THEATRE
The Cast is excellent, especially Jani Lauzon who is on stage for nearly the entire show. Playing Raven with fluent, graceful athleticism.
H.J.Kichhoff The Globe and Mail April 27 1993 (Whale at YPT)
One of the plays most powerful scenes was Lauzon’s song to the tune of Amazing Grace. With her white face paint starting to smear and drip on to her jacket, the performance epitomized the heart wrenching confusion of a people exploited.
Eve Edmonds – Ottawa Sun (Almighty Voice and His Wife; GCTC)
Jani Lauzon…rises mgnificently in a white-hot fusion of agony and anger. It must be the most powerful moment in current Toronto Theatre.
Robert Cushman - The Globe and Mail (Andromache; Orange Dog Theatre)
Lauzon’s directorial debut was a winner.
Dennis Stark, Tansi (Waiora, CIT)
Jani Lauzon gives a terrific performance as Mark Antony. Her funeral oration is powerful and moving.
Connie Meng, North Country PublicRadio (Death of a Chief; NEPA/NAC)
Noah Drew’s soundscape has a few too many passages of generic-sounding chanting, but the songs by Jani Lauzon are superb.
Ottawa Citizen May 2007 (Copper Thunderbird; NAC)
...one of the vocal standouts is “Surabaya Johnny,” delivered with passion and power by Jani Lauzon as Yvette.
Connie Meng, North Country PublicRadio (Mother Courage; NAC/MTC)
… as the tempestuous camp follower Yvette Pottier, Lauzon is a skilled singer
