“A True Tour de Force: Vince Gatton’s Performance in CV Rep’s ‘I Am My Own Wife’ Is Simply Stunning. Any actor or student of theater must see this performance. It is epic. There are moments which are beyond description, such as hearing Charlotte name off the kinds of items in her collection, or the bit with a mob of journalists who question her—while Gatton plays each one. This is beyond brilliant—it’s a feat of memory and acting techniques that will leave any of us gasping.”
– V.J. Hume, Coachella Valley Independent
“Vince Gatton, in his portrayal of (Charlotte) von Mahlsdorf, along with a couple of dozen other characters, was absolutely brilliant. His ability to transition from the main character into a separate and very distinct different character and voice and then back again, was nothing short of astonishing.”
– Dee Jae Cox, Coachella Valley Weekly
“(Ron) Celona’s seamless staging and direction of ‘I Am My Own Wife’ is a mesmerizing theatrical experience which is underscored by the amazing performance of his star Vince Gatton. There are so many finely nuanced character moments in this powerful and haunting re-creation of long ago events now brought so vividly to life by Gatton as Charlotte von Mahlsdorf and others in her complicated and complex life. It’s an exceptional performance that should not be missed by audiences of the Coachella Valley.”

“(CVRep) scored another coup with ‘I Am My Own Wife’ the slightly fictionalized story of German gay rights activist and antique collector Charlotte von Mahlsdorf. Actor Vince Gatton brings her to life, along with more than thirty other characters, in a brilliant one-person show that I consider a must-see.”

“Vince Gatton . . . playing Charlotte von Mahlsdorf and 34 other roles, is mesmerizing. It is nothing short of a tour-de-force bravado performance. Likely the very best performance by any actor in the Coachella Valley for 2016.”
