From Ken Kelleher, freelance director and former Artistic Director of SF Shakespeare Festival:
Some thoughts on the artist Rami Margron.
Rami Margron is one of the most imaginative and daring artists that I have ever encountered. Working with them is like working without a wire, thrilling and dangerous. Rami has a unique and open perspective about the world which gives their work an openness, a freshness, a naivete, a passion and a joy that I have rarely witnessed on stage. Rami is a chameleon of the soul. Ever changing, always adapting, fluid and heart-wrenchingly honest. They are a kind soul with an enormous capacity to help others. As an artist, they are uniquely qualified to range over the human experience. As a director, one always cherishes the capacity in an actor like Rami, because thought seems to race from one artist to another, but what started as a dry notion blossoms within them into a puckish and intoxicating new life form.
Rami has an endless capacity to amaze. T
hey are electric on stage, a current that keeps the work buoyant and alive. Seldom have I seen an artist who has the ability to create so physically and emotionally. Body and mind are fused in a wondrous combination. What I love about working with Rami Margron is that I never know what to expect, am always amazed, and have never been disappointed. Whatever Rami does, they seem to live in the moment. And the moment is beautiful to behold. They have the zeitgeist of a clown. They are existentially funny. They are a 21 st century Charlie Chaplin.
Rami Margron is a zealot of the creative experience.

"...from the moment actor Rami Margron bounces onto the stage, they bring a surfeit of- well, call it steaz, rizz, BDE or what you will, Margron brings it, with all the cocksure attitude one could hope for. If you have a weakness for bad boy energy, prepare to swoon...
...Margron’s command of Shakespeare’s language is even more impressive than their swagger."
Allie Fireel, LEO Weekly

Margron is a marvel at capturing this magnetic figure’s allure, which seduces the followers one by one.
James Hebert, San Diego Union-Tribune

In a stroke of fabulous casting, the Globe has hired Rami Margron, a sturdy, handsome actor with flashing eyes and tons of self-confident presence to play a role where sensuality counts, not specific gender. I have no idea of Margron's personal preferences, nor is that any of my business. As an artist, though, they/she/he is thoroughly convincing to me/me/me. The air should crackle when Dionysus is present, and that it does. This is what we mean by the label "romantic lead."

a midsummer night's dream   california shakespeare theater

Yet for surgical precision and sage clarity, there’s the redoubtable Rami Margron in the dual roles of fairy king Oberon and Athenian king Theseus. Margron conjures visions almost tangible from Shakespeare’s wilder verse. When Oberon says, “the eastern gate, all fiery-red, opening on Neptune with fair blessed beams, turns into yellow gold his salt green streams,” it’s as if the hues shoot forth, with so much energy does Margron honor each successive descriptor. The actor disentangles knotty syntax, as if Margron is always saying, “Look, here’s what’s important in this line,” but in a way that springs from character and situation, not from didacticism.

Rami Margron is an exuberant and gorgeous Moll. Witty and resourceful, her eyes are always open for the next alluring opportunity looming on the horizon. With a big grin at her triumphs and a shrug at her failures, she plays the lady’s sexual exploits with a blithe humanity that deflects moral indignation.
Philip Pearce, Performing Arts Monterey Bay

...the smart and voluptuous Moll, here expertly delivered by Rami Margron.

...truly remarkable.
Sam Hurwitt, The Ideolect

Lesser actors might balk at the demands of this script, but Carlin and Margron are both endlessly transmutable... Margron shifts the register of her voice on a dime, acquiring a high, girly falsetto for Dorothy's younger assistant, Rhiannon, and a sultry baritone for the androgynous butch grad student, Dre. 
Rachel Swan, East Bay Express

Nancy Carlin and Rami Margron play everyone else, delivering a gallery of sharply defined individuals... In Margron's case, that includes a few tour-de-force portraits of entire crowds of children, parents, lovers and others at the zoo, a wondrous assortment of voices emerging from a magnetic deadpan.
Robert Hurwitt, SF Chronicle

Rami Margron brilliantly plays a colonnade of sharply well-defined individuals including Brodie’s younger girl friend, a child visiting the zoo and the cautious receptionist at the medical center.

Rami Margron is a dynamo, playing various characters including Jacob's sidekick Bogle.
Richard Connema, Talking Broadway

His resourceful sidekick The Bogle is played like a gutsy Tinkerbelle by Rami Margron, perhaps the most entertaining and engaging performer in the show.

​Rami Margron makes a riveting Antigone. Impassive and soldierly when she speaks but in her dancing jerky, writhing and staggering...Margron is also compelling as the scolding blind prophet, Tiresias.
Sam Hurwitt, KQED

...the astonishingly stoic-expressive Rami Margron...Margron redoubles the tragic impact of the tale with her reappearance as the gravely sardonic blind prophet Teiresias. She and the entire cast deliver the text in variations of rapid, robotic outbursts and slow, studied passages with startling pauses that mirror the movement forms.
Robert Hurwitt, SF Chronicle

All the gods and goddesses are played by women. When I saw that Zeus, that embodiment of priapic male energy, would be played by a woman, I felt an immediate internal prejudice arise. Within moments, Rami Margron as Zeus dispelled those reservations, as did Anna Ishida as Poseidon. They are compellingly masculine in uniforms fashioned somewhere between Star Trek and Japanese Sci Fi warriors.

Margron's face distills Scovia's pain, fury and intense repression in stark contrast to her bright hope as a schoolgirl.

Margron is the heart of this play with her delightful Matilde — an earthy, whimsical portrayal filled to bursting with rich cultural flavors of Latin humor and gusto.

...an agile Rami Margron...
Georgia Rowe, SF Examiner

Oddest of all, Rami Margron makes an unusually alluring Orsino. The lovestruck Count normally comes off as a pompous blowhard.
Adam Brinklow, Edge

Rami Margron is an amusingly cocky, swaggering Orsino whose love for Olivia seems to be one of many whims he gets and has his people sort out the details... Masterminding the shaming of the steward is a wry and mischievous Margron as Maria, Olivia's chambermaid. 
Sam Hurwitt, KQED
​
Amid the impetuous love stories, the drunken clowning and the tragedy of cross-gartering come ample opportunities for these actors to shine. Rami Margron, for instance, is completely believable as the Duke Orsino, who is hot and bothered over the reclusive and grieving Olivia. When the action shifts over to Olivia's manse, there's Margron again as Maria, a lusty lady in waiting, and she's equally believable in a dress.
