I played the great role of Barbara in AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY at the Phoenix Theatre, Indianapolis, spring 2012. Here are some review quotes: "Diane Kondrat, as the eldest sister Barbara ... is, by turns, hilarious, unforgiving, broken-hearted and volcanic. This is a tour de force performance by an actor with soul-stirring range." -- D.Hoppe, NUVO magazine // "Kondrat is remarkable, stunning." L. Harry, Indianapolis Business Journal // "Kondrat's tour de force performance is mesmerizing. She is controlled and sarcastic one moment and overwhelmed by grief the next." -- M.Hall, StageWrite
