REVIEWS AND KUDOS

Director of THE KING & I

"Ren,
I could not have asked for a better Lady Thiang in our production of KING AND I than you. Your grace, beauty, and magnificent acting "chops" made the character a multi-layered, complex, and most interesting woman --  a very difficult thing to achieve in a musical if done by a lesser actress. Your ability to read between the lines, play subtext and most of all, LISTEN made the role fascinating to watch, And (from the feedback I got from your fellow cast members) challenging, incredible and fun to play opposite.

It is a director's dream to have "star" performers, such as yourself, play a supporting role with such conviction and originality. Your presence alone elevated the production to All-Star. To me, you are a director's dream."

—Scott Viets, Sierra Repertory Theatre

Writer of YOU PICK COLOR

"Ren,
I just wanted to keep you in the loop regarding You Pick Color... Originally, I had written the role of Gigi as someone much older. Then, I was  watching the OC and I realized that it was funny when the parents were hotter than the kids and almost the same age. I love what you did with Gigi and now I can't imagine anyone else playing the role. You bring such grace and warmth to her.
Love, Marita"

"I just want to tell you that your website is the most detailed, sophisticated, professional, and overall out of everyone I've known thus far professional performer/artist has the best website! You must have worked long and hard to get the best links as well as the best graphics for your site. You are truly an inspiration to me to audition as well as to be proud to be Asian-American.

Ren, you need to have your own t.v. show! You are so versatile and amazing... the singing, the acting, and the dancing. I must tell you that your voice-overs are perfect with your various ranges in the colors of your voice. I love it!...

Above all I love your layout... the RenWorld Newsletter. It's very classic and classy!"
