“Powell, a sharpshooting soldier in Afghanistan, played with conviction by Cloteal L. Horne.”

“Clad in leather clogs and earthy-chic cotton, Luciana stands apart. When she and Antipholus of Syracuse touch for the first time, the connection between them is electric — a cause for horror in Luciana, who believes this is her brother-in-law. Happily for us, Ms. Horne does a very funny freakout.”

“As the promiscuous firecracker Mabel, Horne’s performance was a revelation. To witness Horne’s transition from a thick-skinned, hilarious pain in the ass to a devastated, unexpected widow was a profound gift.”

“It is the performance of Cloteal L. Horne as Mabel, though, that is as searing and accomplished as anything I've seen onstage.” 

MABEL in Saturday Night/ Sunday Morning by Katori Hall | THEATRE MANIA

“There are two real stars in this show: the costume designer, and actress Cloteal L. Horne who plays Sylvia. In silks, satins and Fortuni silk, Horne gives an elegance to the clothing, the theater, and the show. She brings a very contemporary, very graspable woman to the stage.”

“Mistress Quickly is unimaginably gorgeous when played by Cloteal L. Horne, who maneuvers about the playing areas with her flicking fan; her mini turban; and her bright, flashing smile. She is the best Quickly I’ve seen since Jeanne Moreau in the Orson Welles film.”

“Cloteal L. Horne is dignified and buttoned up as Mother, but relaxes into the loose limbed and feisty maid Justine.”

JUSTINE/MOTHER in Monster by Neal Bell | BOSTON BROADWAY WORLD

“…Then there’s Luann, portrayed by Cloteal Horne with an air of breezy unstoppability.”
