"46 Plays" calls for versatile actresses and an inventive design team—both of which Hub Theatre brings together under the sharp guidance of director-choreographer Ilyse Robbins in the intimate performance room at Club Café” – Jules Becker, Bay Windows
​
“The production is directed by multiple IRNE and Norton Award winner Ilyse Robbins, who keeps the action moving and coherent, which is no easy trick considering the number of scene changes (45). Robbins also brings her considerable musical theater and choreographic skills to the production’s musical numbers, especially Abigail Adams’ “Remember the Ladies” and Julia Grant’s (Ulysses’ daughter) “Blue and Gray Blues.”
– Mike Hoban, Theater Mirror
​
“Under the brisk and clever direction of Ilyse Robbins, that first vignette sets the tone for the show which is part variety-style, part drama, with a nod to TV’s “Laugh-In.”” – R. Scott Reedy, Broadway World
“Thankfully there is a steady hand at the helm in llyse Robbins, the nonpareil director/choreographer who is a two-for-one if there ever was one. – Rich Fahey, On Boston Stages
