Set Sail With Pirates of the Chemotherapy Blog - by Mondo Johnny
"Kathy Northrop Parker is great as Doris, the over the top, seize life gal who is masking great pain. If you are ever lucky enough to catch Parker in anything, go. If you are lucky enough to see her in this show, you are blessed. Parker has the rare ability to command your attention by doing nothing; her natural charisma extends to every role she plays. Here, she takes over her scenes without upstaging her fellow pirates – no mean feat. Thanks to her performance, I will never be able to hear the theme to Laverne and Shirley with a straight face again."

Theatre Review of Pirates of the Chemotherapy - by Matthew K. Miller
"Standout Doris (Kathy Northrop Parker) comes straight from Boca Raton, Florida with a pair of DD breasts she’s named “Schlemiel” and “Schlamazel”, and she’s absolutely riotous with her sassy quips, raunchy disposition and optimistic outlook on cancer. Sporting mostly sequence outfits (director Becki Jones is also costume designer) and an auburn wig of big hair, you always want to hear what meshuggeneh Doris has to say."
