            "If I were you, I would go once, twice and again to Hasteg to see this play. (...) And, after laughing at many lines, now you cry and feel how the heavy pillars are collapsing from so many tears. (...) Of the seven actors, who would I highlight? First, the four girls [meaning Elena Voineag, Ana Pasti, Ana Odagiu and Dana Rotaru] . In the order you want. The weight of the text is there. Romantic. Anecdotal. A work of density."

                                                       Excerpt translated from Matei Perahim's, WOMEN, HIPSTERS AND PSYCHOANALYSIS, Iscodescu.ro, 29 of May, 2019 

 

​

           "Ana Pasti, Dorotheea Petre, Adriana Titieni are three good, actually very good, actresses, whom I know from other shows and who have shown their craft and value many times. And in The Approach they succeed to do the same (...)."

                                                                                                                                    Excerpt translated from Nona Rapotan, Book Hub.ro, 29 of May 2019

​​

​

          "The Approach is a show that stays in everyone's mind long after they have left the theater, because it shows that what unites people actually separates them, and what separates them actually brings them closer. And there are plenty of other reasons why it is worth filling the hall of the Bucharest Art Theater, such as the acting of actresses Ana Pasti, Adriana Titieni and Dorotheea Petre."

                                                                          Excerpt translated from Monica Andrei's, THE APPROACH OR THE ACROBATICS OF HUMAN RELATIONS,

​

          "A puzzle of memories and dialogues, (...) the show The Approach proposes a stage movement creatively imagined by director Peter Kerek and an excellent cast."

                                                                                                                                     Excerpt translated from Gloria Săuciu, Cinemagia, 21 of  May, 2019

​

​

          "In Romania's Greatest HITs we see talented actors [meaning  Ana Pasti, Radu Zetu, Dana Rotaru, Dragoș Stemate]  a mixture of grotesque, tragicomic, Mioriţa melodrama and meditations on the theme of death, (...) with moments of authentic emotion". (...) Hence the title, which is intended to be a paraphrase of Mircea Dinescu's lyrics: "Stop the story - I'm getting off at the first/Stop at the station, God forbid", because after watching the show you feel like stopping at the first bookstore and buying the volumes of verses signed by Vieru and Dinescu, (...) inspired by Marcel Ţop's staging, which aims to be a metaphorical theatricalization of poems signed by the two special poets."

                                                                                   Excerpt translated from Răzvan Niță's, STOP THE SHOW. I GET OUT AT THE NEXT STATION!, Port.ro                                 

                                                                                                                                  ​​

          "In this show, [meaning Live Broadcasted Divorce] created with classical means, Dan Victor reveals an unsuspected side of his talent, that of making a telecomedy, following the formula of Băieşu from Tanţa and Costel, a sparkling show, which, obviously, could have been created by the Stela-Arşinel couple, but he preferred the young Ana Pasti and Vlad Oancea, who are  remarkable, with indisputable comical resources…. A successful show (...) adding the frame of a conventional divorce to an unconventional landscape, once again confirming the idea that our theater’s roots can grow with such independent initiatives. 

                                                                                                 Excerpt translated from Grid Modorcea's, AT THE CORNER - THE PICTURE OF A DIVORCE,

                                                                                                                                                                                             Tricolor, Nr.1245, 24 of April, 2008

                                                                                                                      

                                                     ​​​

            "Here I saw Quarrels of Chioggia by Carlo Goldoni, a show with atmosphere, with class, with a young ensemble, full of  appetite, a fair show, sparkling, in which the wave of energy of the young actors, most of them recent graduates, meets with the experienced director Laurian Oniga. I found him in good shape. (...). The contact has been beneficial for the young actors as well. They were selected last summer to create a professional ensemble.(…)They live together forty miles away from Tîrgovişte, they spend their time in theater from morning till night, disciplined, like in a training camp, exercising their voices, bodies, pronunciation. All these can be seen on stage. I can not not notice Adina Stan (Checca) Monica Ciută (Lucietta) Ilie Iordan (Isidoro), Ana Pasti (Orsetta). They are the main generators of energy, rigor, humor and nuances, they are the ones who succeed to organize in a credible way the vitality, the routine, the poetry and why not the love. At Chioggia or elsewhere."

​     

            "A while ago I saw here The Quarrels of Chioggia by Goldoni, also directed by him (Laurian Oniga), such a wonderful  and lively  show (...) A show that announces the spirit of a new company, charged with a special energy, with constructive ambitions, coagulated   and fully supported by its manager, Mihai Constantin Ranin. It is almost surreal to see young actors relax, with fresh and brightly faces    (...). If you would see, dear colleagues, (….) the rehearsals conditions, the air of NORMALITY, you would not hesitate for a second to come and see one or more of the shows of "Tony Bulandra"!

                                                             Excerpt translated from Florica Ichim's, “THEATER AT TÂRGOVISTE”, Free România Newspaper, 14 of May 2003

​​​​​​

​

          "There is therefore a need, in the field of art and culture, which has been extremely strained in recent years, for people capable of building and keeping the construction standing. We have been witnessing such a phenomenon for almost two seasons in Târgovişte. I had the opportunity to see this very young and ambitious troupe on three occasions, gaining professional experience from show to show. The first time I saw the actors was in The Quarrels of Chioggia by Goldoni, directed by Laurian Oniga, who used the liveliness and charm of the performers."

          "Shows like The Quarrels of Chioggia are decisively marking the entrance of this theater on the  high-performance track…They

[meaning the actors] will place Târgovişte among the prominent centers on our national theatrical map “ (…) a new horizon of ambitions on the part of a very young ensemble that is open to put in a lot of effort and to authentically professional maturity."

​​          „The thirteen actors in the cast – Monica Ciută, Roxana Joitza, Ana Pasti, Adina Stan, Simona Saiu, Ilie Lordan, Voicu Hetel, Laura Vasiliu, Silvia Gâscă, Vitalie Ursu, Ștefan Cepoi, Radu Sandu and Irina Melnic – absolutely all of them, are excited to perform (a normal thing, by the way, but which only through an absence, most often prolonged in other places, suddenly becomes extraordinary here), to see each other at work and to be seen; which is why they bring in their acting, a lot of strength, overflowing energy and freshness. An absolutely enjoyable evening of comedy. A very pleasant show [meaning The Quarrels of Chioggia] and theater, full of hope - which also gives us hope that things will return to normal at some point, a not-too-distant moment.

          "In On Foot (...) we noticed the talent and spirit of some performers, (....) Adina, Stan, Viorel Cojanu, Ana Pasti (...). The second show  (...) with the title Tomorrow evening we improvise (....)  - this theater within a theater, with a delicious marriage between rigor and improvisation, but also with a truly captivating sense of playfulness of the performers, managed to finally bring the audiance to its feet (....) and last but not least, the girls' choir (Rodica Ionescu, Adina Stan, Ana Pasti, Raluca Oprea) are the heroes of the insanely funny parody, inspired by the world of theater. (....) we believe we witnessed a demonstration of humor of very high quality."

          "Ana Pasti succesfully manages to fill the stage both vocally and through the violence of her movement (...) like most of them, finding her character when the tragic key becomes explicit, with the initiation of memories"

         "The actors handled by Ivașcu have proven not only talent, but also love for the profession they have chosen. We are sure that you will hear these names again: Alex Papadopol, Rodica Ionescu, Adina Stan, Viorel Cojanu, Ana Pasti (....)"
