"Eileen Sugameli played a challenging role with aplomb... Her final emotional tearing away from Eddie was one of the capstones of the production."

“Powerful ... remarkable play that deserves a bigger stage.
Nina Reszki, a Columbia University doctoral candidate born in
Poland, is expertly played by Eileen Sugameli as a 25-year-old woman
whose maturity is mixed with flashes of emotional uncertainty from her youth.”

Played Bobbie in FUKT- a new uplifting dark comedy that inspires us to own our past and get on with our lives.
FUKT seemingly begins as a solo show about why Emma changed her name. Enter Barbara and Bobbie who steal the spotlight and demand to be included. Quarreling (and zombies and a striptease) ensues as the women's memories and perspectives collide. Through the chaos, we're left with a playful, yet personal story about moving the "FUK" on from childhood trauma.
“This cast deserves high praise for maintaining the challenging, complex characters and tensions while also charming and engaging viewers who could not resist being sympathetic and moved. Their performances were effective, stimulating, and inventive.”
-Edward A Kliszus, Opening Night Online
