Much of the action centers on attempts trying to distract Greg’s mother (Bernadette Sullivan) from discovering a framed photograph of the couple hugging.
The film reaches a heartfelt climax when Greg’s mother’s reaction is revealed.

PIXAR’S OUT:
The new Pixar animated short film Out is a magnificent work of color and narrative. For many viewers this is the first time that an explicitly gay protagonist is presented in a Disney production…. The boisterous, helpful, and well-meaning Mom is voiced by Bernadette Sullivan.

CHARLES LUDLAM’S THE ARTIFICIAL JUNGLE:
His restless redhead wife, Roxanne… Sullivan plays the cuckolding wife like a cat clawing at the door of freedom.

CHARLES LUDLAM’S THE ARTIFICIAL JUNGLE:
Sullivan is a sloe-eyes delight. She pinches up her long face and shoots looks that kill- at first aimlessly, at anyone in hearing range- but then, once she falls hard and stakes turn murderous, she directs her heavy lidded laser beams with a shocking focus.
Her gravel-voiced timing is just what Ludlam would have enjoyed- it’s ridiculous, without actually being impossible.”

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING:
Special mention is also due to the inventive flirtatious clowning between malaprop-spouting constable Dogberry… and his subordinate, Verges (Bernadette Sullivan, whose marvelous comic timing makes the role anything but secondary).

• Los Angeles Times

OTHELLO:
Director Melissa Chalsma has elicited smart, sharp, funny interpretations from her cast, notably… and Bernadette Sullivan (Emilia)… a woman choosing truth over matrimonial obedience.

THE TRAGICAL HISTORY OF DOCTOR FAUSTUS:
The most inventive twist is to cast a woman as Mephistopheles, the agent sent by Lucifer to tempt Faustus and secure his soul. Bernadette Sullivan’s exquisitely sculpted face is given porcelain pallor, with deeply colored accents at her eyes and lips. She’s a fashion-model dream…

ON THE ROAD WITH BERNADETTE:
Bernadette Sullivan doesn’t do Republicans. I mention this because it stunned me at first to hear that a working actor would turn down jobs in a market where work is evaporating and competition is fierce. Read full article >>

Uniformly mesmerizing, the actors give performances that are works of art. Sullivan is a simmering Modigliani about to burst off the canvas…

HOME or THE QUEST FOR THE LOST TABLET OF UR (ZOO DISTRICT):
… a ferocious standout performance by Bernadette Sullivan…

HOME or THE QUEST FOR THE LOST TABLET OF UR (ZOO DISTRICT):
Sullivan’s tour-de-force star turn is particularly diverting: she invests her Dora with a confused pathos and her Gertrude with a larger-than- life compassionate quality so that you will hardly believe the same actor is playing both parts.

A stunning final scene between Brett Paesel and Bernadette Sullivan as they tear each other into emotional shreds despite their obvious love for each other…two powerhouses…Their work is so specific and powerful that it’s worth the wait. I hope these women won’t pass unseen by the public, because they give two of the strongest performances I’ve seen on Los Angeles stages.
