The Devil and Tom Walker
The Metropolitan Playhouse: New York, NY

"Perky Sarah Hund is a wonderful comedienne who shows us the ridiculous and the pathos of colonial manners. She's a bad girl, a good girl, a victim and a wonderful dancer. Her elastic expressions transport her emotions directly to us in the intimate Metropolitan Playhouse environment." - Larry Litt, nytheatre-wire.com

"This engaging new play with music from Metropolitan Playhouse might just initiate a first-time category: the morality musical.... The hard-working cast of six not only sings lustily but also plays several musical instruments. (John Doyle, eat your heart out.)... The casting of the show is particularly strong, with wonderful multitasking support given by [Rebecca] Hart, Michael Durkin, Sarah Hund, and Justin Flagg." - Karl Levett, Backstage.com

"It is one of the finest new musical comedies of the season.... The cast is splendid.... Michael Durkin, Justin Flagg, and Sarah Hund complete the small but robust ensemble, each of them playing seemingly dozens of characters (and narrating, and playing and singing the score) effortlessly and captivatingly.... The show is a treat... a treat with a message that's clear, pertinent, and unimpeachable.... The Devil and Tom Walker deserves a long life after this premiere presentation. It is so skillfully put together that it seems a natural for venues of every size, shape, and description. (Commercial producers in NYC, take note!)" - Martin Denton, nytheatre.com

Smoke on the Mountain
Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre: Indianapolis, Indiana

"It has been a long time since I’ve seen a performance that left me as grinningly happy as Sarah Hund’s as the untalented Sanders kid. Looking like the bastard child of Olive Oyl and Miss Hathaway, June is relegated to tambourine, bell, and trainwhistle when she’s not haplessly trying to provide sign-language accompaniment—even though there are no deaf congregants. When June gets to finally share her own monologue, it’s the Sanders family’s least-likely star who reveals the worth of this show’s simple gifts—and earns this production a sincere hallelujah." - Lou Harry, Indianapolis Business Journal

"One of the biggest treats of the night was the nuanced performance of Sarah Hund as the eldest daughter June. Her painful attempts to be a part of the group... rang true to life.... Hund's creative mix of true signs and made-up words had the audience rolling in the aisles. Her desperation and sheer glee allowed everyone to identify with the character. Truly a star performance." - CC Brackman, The Brazil Times (Clay County, Indiana)

"June Sanders, played by Sarah Hund... her eager attempts are hilarious. She awkwardly shakes the tambourine like her life depends on it... Her ernest version of sign language, mixing actual signs with her brilliant interpretations, are priceless. They leave the audience holding its collective stomach and gasping for breath between howls of laughter." - Melissa Mayer, The Daily Sun (Lebanon, Indiana)

"However, the main reason you've gotta go to this wonderful comedy is to enjoy the wonderful thief of the night, June Sanders. This gifted actress (Sarah Hund) mesmerized the entire audience with her antics; stealing the show at every turn. You start out counting how many instruments she pulls out to play and give up - because it is too difficult to count... when you are crying from laughing so hard. When she attempts to sign... she takes the spotlight, staying true to character even while on the sidelines." - Elizabeth J. Musgrave, Community News (Indianapolis, Indiana)

"Sarah Hund, who plays June -- the goofiest... Sanders family member -- adds comedy relief while displaying nifty timing on an assortment of unusual percussion instruments. Hund also draws big laughs with June's exaggerated and wildly animated attempts at doing sign language during performances." - Jim Walker, The Indianapolis Star

"Comic relief in the group comes from June Sanders (Sarah Hund), who... contributes to the family band with her own unique and outrageously funny form of sign language, as well as enthusiastic performances of sound effects... with a notably wild turn on the spoons." - Lisa Gauthier, NUVO (Indianapolis, Indiana)

"Sarah Hund... steals the show with comedic timing that left me in awe. Hund is multi-talented and has wonderful comedic ability." - Terry Linhart, terrylinhart.blogspot.com

Cycle
Cherry Lane Studio Theatre: New York, New York

"Exuberant performances from a magnificent ensemble cast. (Special notice for the standout performances of Sarah Hund and J.T. Arbogast, two wonderfully delicious hams without a dead moment between them." - Aaron Riccio, New Theater Corps

"J.T. Arbogast and Sarah Hund do vaudeville magic in Cycle." - Christina Polizoto, Showbusiness Weekly

"Sarah Hund charms as violin-playing Betty, and goes bigger-than-life as Charlotte's mother." - Jon Sobel, blogcritics.org

"With a cast so engaging, you won't want to miss a moment of the hilarity. The actors assembled here are each noteworthy in their own right, but it is their work as an ensemble that truly leaves you breathless. These six Vaudevillians... [including] Sarah Hund... sing, dance, play instruments, juggle, mime, and do voices. Simply put, they do it all... and they do a great job." - Kristyn R. Smith, New Theater Corps
