Ashes
Ashes (Teatro Technis) "The two characters driving the story are Aiden (Alexander Dover), who appears to be the newest member and Elenore (Sophia Priolo), the most dedicated member... Priolo (Elenore) had some lovely moments that captivated the audience, especially in her scenes with Dover (Aiden) and Ash Sanchez (Cissi)." Reviewed by Arghierenia Kyrimi at:

Blueprints
Blueprints (Sparks Theatre Collective)"Blueprints combines the affecting writing of Emma Jarvis – inspired by EE Cummings’ dreamily romantic poem I Carry Your Heart – with Sophia Priolo’s careful direction to produce a gently stirring performance that works in perfect harmony with its stunning natural setting. -- Priolo is our Mother Earth, gliding between the cast, hair drifting in the light breeze, sharing poetry with both utter abandon and secretive pleasure. -- The piece itself is completely new, and breathes quite tangibly, and in harmony with its forest setting; neither working against each other, but together, perfectly complimenting the other, the text and the earth. A real must-see for a gorgeous, late summer evening, when you have the desire to be carried away- just a little. "...

Ragtime
Ragtime (Theatre Tuscaloosa)- "Kudos to the following actors for bringing incredible character work. Dylan Guy Davis as Harry Houdini and Sophia Priolo as Evelyn Nesbit chew up each scene they are in with much flair."

Camelot
Camelot (Faulkner Dinner Theatre)- "...the proudly near-perfect Lancelot, [Chase McMichen's]...version of "If Ever I Would Leave You", in which he professes his illicit love for Queen Guenevere [Sophia Priolo, whose unspoken responses speak volumes here, and whose brilliantly clear voice is a major component of the production] provides the most passionate and convincing moment in the play. -- And, Act II's "What Do the Simple Folk Do" sheds fine insight onto Arthur...and Guenevere's relationship that has been tracked from their awkward and naive first meeting to a now comfortable domesticity"....

Die Fledermaus (The Birmingham Music Club)- ..."Casting was superb, as was the chorus...and the dancing couples at the masquerade ball. Even a ballet interlude with four dancers, with choreography by Sophia Priolo, was inserted seamlessly in the midst of a crowded stage in the Act II ball scene."...

Henry VIII
Henry VIII (Alabama Shakespeare Festival)- "This Henry VIII is another excellent ensemble production where eleven actors take on all the roles, two of which don't appear in Shakespeare's original: Princess Mary [Sophia Priolo] the daughter of Henry and Katherine and Will sommers [Louis Butelli], Henry's actual court jester. -- Ms. Priolo has no dialogue -- just a lovely soprano singing voice -- but contributes much to the play as she serves as a reminder of what is to come."...

Jane Eyre (Faulkner Dinner Theatre)- ..."The ensemble acting here is good, with some actors playing double roles. And the principal roles are effectively drawn through the actors' committment and the excellent singing voices. -- Sophia Priolo's operatic soprano is clear and light in keeping with her portrayal of the socialite Blanche Ingram"....
