A Body of Water
“As the cryptic Wren, Ivy Beech never shows all her cards. In turns vicious and loving, Wren holds the power to define the truth, and it is Beech’s fierce commitment to every contradictory story that keeps the mystery engrossing.” - Stage Raw
“The performances are absolutely astonishing. Beech is amazing in her ups and downs. In one scene she comes off hateful and then later there seems to be a thorough conversion, where she is the happy, well-adjusted daughter who cannot spend enought time with her parents. CRITICS PICK" - Grigware Reviews
“Tegtmeier, Ladd, and Beech are superb as the trio trapped inside their puzzling and perplexing world, a world which cannot be depended upon to help them escape their lonely lives. “ - Splash Magazines
“Body of Water is a mindtwister..the audience is able to identify with Wren, played by Ivy Beech, who grounds the play. I gasped while watching this. As I said from the beginning,t he performance from Beech was essential in why the story works. She gives the perplexing performance this material needs.” - LA Theatre Bites

Anna Karenina
“ Ivy Beech, who delivers a moving performance as Kitty, is terrific.”
— Stage Raw, Terry Morgan
Cat’s Paw
“Beech’s hardened Cathy proves equally mesmerizing as a pawn in a cat-and-mouse game of earth-altering magnitude. Beech [does] some of [her] finest work to date in [a] role that could not be more radically different from [her] delicious comedic turn two years ago in Pride And Prejudice. [She] holds audience members riveted for a breakneck hour and a half.”

"When the reality comes crashing down on Wendla, the innocent humor of the stork is replaced by a tragedy that is powerfully staged, with Ivy Beech giving a very strong performance from the curious girl embracing and hungry for life, to the shocked and broken young woman who could never have foreseen the turn of events that threaten to shatter her." - Rob Hopper, National Youth Theater

"The format of the script is mostly journalistic in style, but that doesn’t prevent some powerful, emotional moments. Mary Anne Whites’s (Ivy Beech) genuine regret, still so haunted by the moment her husband told her of his actions that she can scarcely face it." - Rob Hopper, National Youth Theater
