- J. Peter Bergman, The Berkshire Edge

Intimate Apparel at Trinity Repertory Theater
“Shelley Fort, a second-year student in the Brown/Trinity Rep MFA acting program, easily keeps pace with the veteran cast members. Fort's portrayal of fallen-woman Mayme is brassy and layered as she touches on the character's unreachable dreams, deep-seated hurts, and the quick-witted humor that serves as her most ready defense. Fort and Ellis have a particularly intense and compelling scene together late in the second act that is a standout moment for both women in the production.”
— Veronica Bruscini, Broadway World

“Mayme the whore is feisty and edgy, but those characteristics cover up a pain that she only begins to hint at. Fort shows both sides of the character expertly, slipping effortlessly from behind the tough veneer for intimate confessions.”
— Susan McDonald, The Sun Chronicle
