"Carmen Lamar plays the pensione proprietor, Fioria, and does so with such earthy, intense 'Italian' you keep blinking to see if it might really be Anna Magnani." 

Michael Millius, The Bedford Reivew

"Carmen Lamar is brilliant as Monica [Maids of Honor]. Her statuesque beauty, waspish tongue, intelligence, drive and sometimes 'hard' exterior hides a vulnerable, hyper-vigilant little girl still frightened of her father's violence, though he's been dead all these years. Her slow discovery that she doesn't have to be so armored all the time is a joy."
 
Arlene McKanic, OOBR


"Well, you really were wonderful.  You looked great and your acting had complexity and conviction.  You were very good at staying real and within yourself.  And easily the audience's favorite." [Maids of Honor]

Tony Roberts, actor

"The Schoolhouse has rolled out a roster of its A-list players into an ensemble of characters so incredible in tune with each other and their material as to raise this show in a symphony of laughter. Included in this gifted group are...Carmen Lamar as Carol Wyman..." [Laughter on the 23rd Floor]

Michael Millius, The Record Review

"The lone woman on the staff is Carol (Carmen Lamar)...inspired by Lucille Kallan...is tough and irreverent like the guys, but she doesn't consider the blacklist a fit subject for humor."

Anita Gates, The New York Times

"And Carmen Lamar holds her own as the lone female writer (modeled on Selma Diamond), adrift in a sea of testosterone and profanity. [Laughter on the 23rd Floor]

Peter D. Kramer, The Journal News

"In the well-cast, expertly acted and flawlessly directed production [The Baby Dance] at the Schoolhouse Theater in Croton Falls, the issues and personalities hit with unexpected force -- from the deliberately comic start to the unsettling climax."

Edward Buroughs, The Journal News


"...[Carmen] Lamar is heartbreaking as the desperate mother-to-be. [Rachel, The Baby Dance]"

Chesley Piemmons, Danbury News Times


"The women are the strongest performers in this production [The Baby Dance]..."

Campbell Robertson, The New York Times


"Carmen Lamar works physical wonders as Corrinna Stroller a beautiful actress [The House of Blue Leaves]...Her problem is she's secretly deaf. Her attempts to pretend she can hear and engage in conversation are hysterical."

Edward Buroughs, The Journal News, NY

"The songs are beautifully served [Rendezvous] up by a quartet of accomplished singers - Philip Anderson, Katie Geissinger, Carmen Lamar Daehler and Gregory Purnhagen...How can any resist the four part harmony rendition of 'April in Paris'...Or Carmen's 'La Vie En Rose'?"

Oscar E. Moore, TalkEntertainment.com


"You look and sound marvelous!"

Patalia Tate, Director of On Air Promotions
The History Channel, A&E Television Networks

"Carmen Lamar has a clear, soprano voice with just the right touch of old-fashioned timber and mellowness, the kind you could listen to for hours."

Laurie Lawson, Electronic Link Journey


"To thank you would be an understatement. I am grateful to you for being who you are, and that we had the good fortune to work with you on this most important project. You define professionalism. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you again."
