Commedia dell'arte meets vaudeville in The Servant of Two Masters
Misha Berson, The Seattle Times, January 14, 2009

"One of the more artful bananas is Kerry Ryan, an Oregon import whose kewpie voice and chipmunk puckishness make her turn as a servant with the hots for Ensweiler's sly fella a quirky joy."

This Mouse Will Make You Roar With Laughter
Holly Johnson, The Oregonian, October 3, 2006

"You'll remember Ryan long after all else is forgotten. Hers is a performance to shout about. She embodies the part, makes it bigger than it is, with an expression for every thought, word and deed. Trained as a clown, a natural mime and recently a member of Imago Theatre for three years, Ryan is amazing."

King Lear Thrills at Stuart Theatre
Brown Daily Herald Staff, March 9, 2001

"Kerry Silva plays both Cordelia and the fool. As Cordelia she is all that is required - stately and genuine. But as the fool she almost outdoes the part itself. Alternately ticking and trembling, she harnesses what might have been diffused energy to pack a mighty wallop. Her words, wise or whimsical, hit home."

Review: Mister Murdery
Richard Wattenberg, The Oregonian, October 24, 2003

"The actors, including Darius Pierce, Kerry Silva and Sam Kusnetz, all deal agilely with Karam's nonstop, exuberant word play. Pierce, as the imperious Nurse Silver, and Silva, as the squeaky-sweet Nurse Cherry, tumble through the show almost acrobatically."

Review: Veronica's Room
Anna Simon, The Portland Mercury, March 27, 2003

"The cast of four... have mastered the material and assume their parts so completely that the audience is at their whim. When they say 'boo,' you'll jump."

Hungry Mouse Brings Laughs to the Stage
Joseph Gallivan, Portland Tribune, October 6, 2006

"...the Mouse is played wonderfully by Kerry Ryan. She is puckish, comically elastic... Haynes and Ryan have comic chemistry to spare."

Student-Directed 'Ubu Roi' Shocks, Unbalances With Frantic Energy
Victoria Harris, the Brown Daily Herald, February 21, 2002

"...it was the ensemble players who truly made the show. Their ability to portray a number of different roles in close succession and maintain each character's integrity was impressive, to say the least... Kerry Silva in particular shone as a range of different characters, from a womanizing adolescent crusader to a Russian soldier... Silva preserved a believable balance in each of her characters, seamlessly transferring from part to part."

Vicki and Igor's Electrifying Adventure
Esmerelda, March 12, 2007

Dear PGE Actors,

I think you were the best actors. Thank you for coming to our school. I learned a lot about safety and electricity. I love plays a lot. More than everything. Except bendy pens. Bendy pens and magical markers.

From,

Review: Mister Murdery
Toussaint Perrault, The Portland Mercury, October 30, 2003

"The Cardboard Box Theatre's Mister Murdery is ingenious, lovely, and has a psychotic violent streak... Nurse Cherry (Kerry Silva) is the coquette, the heartbreaking darling that always seems last on the killer's hit list. Against a viscera-pink background the players share a dance that is half grace and half brutality."

Sorting Out Our Obsession With Violence
Bob Hicks, The Oregonian, January 15, 2007

"Vertigo's production sports some good, edgy performances... including Kerry Silva Ryan's as a gutsy mom with a good idea of what's actually important."

Life on the Fringe
