Testimonials

“Whitney Dottery… most impresses when her character is most impassioned.”
- Barbara Vitello, The Daily Herald

“A confidence that Dottery in the role of Mary exudes with disarming ease.”
- Mitchell Oldham, City Pleasures (Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley)

“Whitney Dottery as Mary Bennet… [is] outstanding. Dottery maintains perfect diction and Georgian composure while delivering witty one-liners with a satisfying snarky undercurrent. Her emotional depth rings true.”
- Karyn Ashby, Chicago Stage and Screen (Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley)

“Dottery’s Mary is resolute yet filled with a beguiling curiosity contagious to the right person.”
- Christine Trevino, NewCity Chicago (Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley)

“…actors Byczkowski (Sophie) and Whitney Dottery (her friend, Yasmen) are finally given a highly-charged and active scene in which to play – and it’s electric.”
- Bec Willet, Performink (Girl Found)

“Whitney Dottery is endearing as the over-caffeinated, eager-to-please, ever-resilient T.C., who struggles to find her way back from a life-altering experience, which Dottery recalls with heartfelt simplicity.”
- Barbara Vitello, The Daily Herald (Naperville)

“Whitney Dottery is an absolute star as Gary Coleman. Her mugging and twinkle-eyed smile is the perfect tribute to the late child actor. Diff’rent Strokes fans will be thrilled with the accuracy of Dottery’s magnificent performance. Dottery is not just a one trick pony. She has one of the most dynamic voices… and she knows how to connect with the audience too. Her delivery on ‘You Can be as Loud as the Hell you Want (When You’re Making Love)’ is as good as being at a Tina Turner concert.”
- Rikki Lee Travolta, Life and Times (Avenue Q)

“Whitney Dottery, who has appeared on most every stage in the Chicagoland area… [is] a wonderful vocalist and comic actor…”
-Colin Douglas. Chicago Theatre Review

“…Gary Coleman [is] played to perfection by Whitney Dottery…”
- Alan Bresloff, Around the Town Chicago (Avenue Q)

About

An Indianapolis native, then on to Ohio, Whitney is an all-around midwest transplant, who now calls Chicago home. Musicals, plays, TV/Film, voiceover - they do it all - as long as they are telling a great story. Whitney has appeared on many stages in the Chicagoland area, and has had the pleasure of collaborating with so many amazing artists. Select theatre credits include Mary Bennett in Miss Bennett: Christmas at Pemberley, T.C. in Naperville (both at Buffalo Theatre Ensemble), Gary Coleman in Avenue Q (Music Theatre Works), Bunny in Bunny’s Book Club, and Petey in Bunnicula (both at Lifeline Theatre). Whitney is a graduate of Columbia College Chicago with a BA in Musical Theatre. Whitney is enthusiastic about supporting actors in their work and offers individual coaching sessions. As a trained yoga teacher, they occasionally draw inspiration from these practices in these sessions.
