"I'm so glad we got to hear from Lisa Crosby Wipperling, who played Margaret, on her perspective of her importance in the play, her curse on Richard, and her conjuring the dead to influence the outcome of the battle. She said that her character realized that the other women weren't ready to go to her side yet because they were still grieving for the Princes, so that's why she needed to conjure the ghosts in order to bring Richard down."
Henry V, Texas Shakespeare Festival
Review https://www.playshakespeare.com/henry-v-reviews/theatre-reviews/15581-well-conceived-henry-v-invokes-the-aura-of-late-plantagenet-era
"Playing the vulnerable Princess Katherine, Lisa Crosby Wipperling did great justice to the part, and this is important in light of the fact that feminine roles and domestic scenes in Shakespeare’s histories are scarce. Though Wipperling’s role is not large, her scenes provided welcome comic relief and elicited a tender side of her suitor/conqueror." Copyright © 2016 by PlayShakespeare.com.
Into The Woods
I was cast as a guest artist to play the role of the Witch and had a blast working at my Alma Mater with some very dedicated college students and community members on a four-foot raked stage and full facial prosthetic makeup. What a beautiful experience. This link is to an article written about a live interview taken with Hazel Rose Gibson, the Stage Manager, and myself at Morningside College.

Review http://www.blackhillsplayhouse.com/reviews.html
"As the Lady of the Lake, Wipperling is responsible for helping King Arthur and his knights, either by guiding them, encouraging them and even performing a makeover. As if that wasn’t enough, she performed a couple show-stopping songs, earning every bit of praise and applause."

Lumberjacks In Love
http://hooplanow.com/2013/08/02/review-easy-fall-love-lumberjacks-old-creamery-theatre/
... Lisa Crosby Wipperling of St. Albans, Vt., as The Kid, who only lets her hair down in attempt to charm the pants off Minnesota Slim before the intruder arrives. These are all seasoned pros, who handle the physical comedy, music and clever choreography with equal aplomb. ...
Since this play is new to the region, I won’t divulge the various roads the characters take to chop down all the obstacles they encounter in the appropriately named the Haywire Lumber Camp. ... These lumberjacks are all OK.

These Seven Sicknesses NYC at The Flea Theater
(The Remount I was cast in, the original Jan-Feb of 2012)
"Unlike the chorus in the conventional staging of a Greek tragedy, the connective tissue is supplied by a guitar wielding orderly (Will Turner) and a zesty, riotously entertaining chorus of hospital nurses (Kelechi Ezie, Lisa Wipperling, Emily Brown, Bonnie Milligan, Lauren Hayes, Whitney Conkling), who seemingly have a tune on hand for every gruesome occasion. The nurses sing (including a stirring rendition of Paul McCartney’s “Blackbird"), they dance and are particularly hilarious on their hands and knees scrubbing the floor while singing the blues. On occasion, they also give a great amputation." - The Broadway Bulletin.
http://broadwaybulletin.newsvine.com/_news/2012/06/24/12319335-youve-never-seen-anything-quite-like-these-seven-sicknesses
"This is not surprising, however, considering the extraordinary caliber of this cast. The Bats is a highly selective, audition-only acting company, which yields the reward of this impervious ensemble of well-trained, sincere, exemplary actors. These performers effortlessly shift from moments of devastation to delight, from excoriating speeches to contemporary quips. The audience is guided between parts by a chorus of hospital nurses accompanied by an orderly (Kelechi Ezie, Lisa Wipperling, Emily Brown, Bonnie Milligan, Lauren Hayes, Whitney Conkling, and Will Turner). This amiable bunch comments, jokes, and assists with transitions. They also sing numbers — generally contemporary — in place of the traditional Greek Parados or Exodos which would have accompanied Sophocles's performances 2000+ years ago.In fact, this phenomenal cast of actors, who soar on stage and then serve the audience dinner with a side of fun, good humor, and goodwill, are each interesting performers, attractive persons, and promising talents." - Theatre Is Easy

neat and tidy NYC
"The fine cast has a lot of say in the matter, including a heartbreakingly flatlined Lisa Crosby Wipperling as Tracy, the depressed mother". - BlogCritics

The exceptional neat & tidy cast is first rate, playing the devestated mother with brilliant grace is Lisa Crosby Wipperling (Tracy) her limbs weak as she struggles to pick up the phone to plan a furneral for her baby daughter.Richard Cameron, Miracle Theatre Examiner, examiner.com
Lisa Crosby Wipperling (Tracy) "neat & tidy has changed my life. Failing has become necessary on a daily basis in order to grow and travel to where it's necessary to live with this character. That place changes just enough each day where I end up chasing Tracy to keep up. The relationship has been rocky but well worth it. Steven's workshop process kept me on my toes daily and was very rewarding. The development of character, relationships and team is the most important part of relaying the message on an organic level."
