A SUMMER DAY
The Wilma Theater

"Campbell O’Hare’s Young Woman is the most dynamic character in the quintet, and O’Hare makes the most of this opportunity. O’Hare’s is the most compelling performance in the show. While wrapped in the restraints of Norwegian scruples, this Young Woman still manages to convey the strong emotional undertow that drives the character."
-Richard Lord, Performance Font PA

"The cast is superb from top to bottom. Campbell O’Hare bubbles with excitement, peppering her speech with questions, hopes, and dreams. Rather than seeming like two sides of a coin, Apple and O’Hare show how a person can evolve and harden over time, from gregarious youth to stoic middle age."
-Cameron Kelsall, Broad Street Review​

PETER PAN
Arden Children’s Theatre

"O’Hare is a lovely Wendy. Her expressive face beams with excitement when she gets to join Peter on his adventures. Her entire body slumps when she realizes that her school-girl crush is wasted on the boyish Peter Pan."
-Jill Brooke, Broad Street Review
​
​"Campbell O’Hare is convincing as the preteen Wendy, later, amazingly, as a grownup. She immediately charms the audience and serves as a superb master of ceremonies when the children are invited to ask questions after the curtain call. 'How old are you really, Wendy?' She tells them, violating an ancient code of actresses."
-Neal Newman, Philadelphia Theater Arts

THE COMEDY
​OF ERRORS
Lantern Theater Company

"Adriana (Kishia Nixon), Antipholus of Ephesus’s wife, and her sister Luciana (Campbell O’Hare) offer fine counterbalances to the twins’ bewilderment, while still finding lovely moments of sisterly bickering and frustrated romance for themselves. O’Hare, in particular, shines in a backyard encounter with Antipholus of Syracuse, tearing herself between the delicately swooning poise of love at first sight and the frenzied akimbo sprawl of what that forbidden romance implies."
-Kiran Pandey, Broad Street Review

"Kishia Nixon and Campbell O’Hare (Luciana) have a very convincing sisterly dynamic, based on love, exasperation, and the secret, mutual conviction that they are the reasonable one in the family. O’Hare gives Luciana the veneer of shy bookishness that nevertheless overlays a personality as unhinged as everyone else’s, and she and Dave Johnson fit an entire play’s worth of chemistry into a single scene (aided by the production gleefully parodying an entire play’s worth of romantic tropes in the same scene)."

PETER AND THE STARCATCHER
Delaware Theatre Company

​"More than 100 characters are portrayed by this company of 12 amazingly versatile actors. Standouts include O’Hare as Molly, undaunted and portrayed without a trace of treacle."
-Gail Obenreder, Broad Street Review

TARTUFFE
Lantern Theater Company

"And as Elmire, O’Hare, fending off Tartuffe’s increasingly unwelcome advances, shines in a role that can feel uncomfortable or even cringey in the hands of a less capable performer."
-Jillian Ashley Blair Ivey, Broad Street Review

TWELFTH NIGHT
The Wilma Theater

"Truly a force to be reckoned with, Campbell O'Hare is a fierce and unforgiving Maria. Together, O'Hare and Conallen needle and chide each other with such compelling animosity that Maria's revenge seems like a logical outcome."
-Rebecca Rendell, Talkin' Broadway

"Campbell O’Hare balances impudence and heart as the pert and scheming Maria."
-Alaina Johns, Broad Street Review

TRAVESTIES
Lantern Theater Company

"The real treat of the play was Campbell O’Hare as Cecily. While she is the foil for Henry, she is much more. She is sharp-witted, edgy, funny, and also the target of Henry’s affections, but she has passions of her own. She is a delight to watch as her relationship with Henry is told again and again and again."
​-Frank Burd, Burd Reviews

HEROES OF THE
FOURTH TURNING
The Wilma Theater

"...the revelation was Campbell O’Hare as Emily. Even among this consistently excellent cast, she is a standout. All the other characters are defined in some way by what they do, but Emily is defined by what she is: in pain. Kind, empathetic, and a good listener, Emily is the glue of the group. While others rant or explode in fury, Emily is the calm center—until she isn’t.
​The monologue following is a performer ripping her entrails out and hurling them on the ground. It is a rare privilege to witness such artistic commitment."
-Brad Rothbart, Broad Street Review

DANCE NATION
​The Wilma Theater

"The ensemble is copacetic and, to a person, superb. Among the dancers, the standouts include...Campbell O’Hare, as a driven girl who trades friendships for achievements. O’Hare also choreographs, and she skillfully creates dances that convey each girl’s differing level of ability."
-Cameron Kelsall, Reclining Standards

"As alpha dancer Amina, O'Hare expertly balances ambition and self-doubt. O'Hare is also responsible for the production's creative choreography."
-Rebecca Rendell, Talkin' Broadway

"Campbell O’Hare plays Amina, the group's best dancer, but she also doubles as choreographer, a job she does very well."
-Dennis Bloh, Philly Life & Culture

MAURITIUS
Act II Playhouse

"The young UArts grad O'Hare triumphs in her role, delivering a performance as rare and exquisite as the stamp she pilfers. At once vulnerable and tough, off-putting and endearing, she sparkles in this part."
-Jim Rutter, Philadelphia Inquirer

"Campbell O’Hare commands the role of Jackie, balancing the haunting wounds of familial damage with a righteous anger for anyone even attempting to take advantage of her."
-Megan Diehl, DC Metro Theater Arts

"O’Hare stole the show hands down. She was tremendous. I felt her heartache, her anger, her pain, and her hope. O’Hare WAS her character—real and believable—she had me rooting for her throughout the show."
-Lauren Hartranft, Phindie

THE BRIDE'S A C*&%
On the Rocks

"Campbell O'Hare—one of Philadelphia's most exciting young actors—plays Nora, a frighteningly intense bridezilla...this fascinatingly complex character is the heart of the play."
-Mark Cofta, Broad Street Review

"As the titular bride, Campbell O’Hare anchors the cast with a performance by turns caustically funny and ultimately shattering. She’s easily the best actor in her peer group currently working in Philadelphia, something you already know if you saw Mauritius, and she inhabits her brittle and broken character with breathtaking fearlessness."
-Cameron Kelsall, Phindie

"Campbell O’Hare is both deeply tormented and viciously tormenting as the virgin bridezilla."
-Deb Miller, DC Metro Theater Arts

​RAPTURE,
​BLISTER, BURN
The Wilma Theater

"...charmingly played by Campbell O'Hare, in the show's best performance."
-David Anthony Fox, Philadelphia Citypaper
​
"Campbell O'Hare, in a gleaming, razor-edged portrayal, [is] the play's mouthpiece for the next generation of adults, and in a sly way, its truth-teller."
-Howard Shapiro, Newsworks

"Campbell O'Hare as Avery, who provides a precocious younger generation's perspective on the issues, is funny and on-point."
-Julius Ferraro, Phindie
