Review by Soline McLain
Strong performances are given by Helene Galek, who plays both the co-dependent wife in One in the Oven and the husband-broker in the play of that title. She brought life to both very different roles.

Woman Seeking…
Review by Seth Bisen-Hersh
Helene Galek gave a touching performance as a mother touched by her child in Redemption Song, and then became an overbearing, deceased mother a few scenes later in Crystal Ball.
Jen and Liz in Love
New York International Fringe Festival
Review by Wendy Caster
In Jesse Weaver's lovely 45-minute two-hander, Jen and Liz in Love (nicely directed by Lory Henning), Liz is stuck in a kissing booth while her husband goes to deposit the day's profits. When Jen comes to tell her the fair is closing, Liz asks Jen to stay until her husband returns. As they chat and argue, we learn about their shared past, their fears and their desires. The show is funny, economical and touching. Helene Galek, as Liz, gives a textured and poignant performance with only her lips and occasionally an eye visible. As Jen, Cindy Keiter is wary, subtle, and heart-breaking.

Review by Montserrat Mendez
The tougher job falls to Helene Galek, as her friend in a box, Liz. It's an all vocal performance, the only part of her visible throughout the piece is her lips. With her scratchy voice, the cracks in her pitch and gravelly notes, she manages to show us her entire range of emotions. It's a tough thing to do, but she does it quite winningly.
Parents of Typical Children
The 2007 EstroGenius Festival
Review by Cindy Pierre
Overachievers Mr. Downer (William Kozy) and Mrs. Downer (Helene Galek) can't fathom that their genes will produce a regular joe and as they go through the stages of acceptance, their antics increase... The cast is enthusiastic and spirited. Parents of Typical Children is great fun for those who perpetually want more and the ones who laugh at them.
