Roles at Hampton Theatre Company: Margie in "Good People" ; Brooke in "Other Desert Cities"; Sherry in "Admissions"Southampton Press review for "Good People": "Morgan Vaughan—starring as Margaret, or “Margie,” as she is called throughout the play, a down-on-her luck recently fired dollar store cashier in South Boston—is well deserving of the highest praise for the best acting. This woman, whom I know to be a beautiful, young ingenue type in real life is so utterly convincing on stage as a worn-out, middle-aged, destitute single mother at the end of her rope that I was actually shocked. Everything about Ms. Vaughn became Margie—from her posture, to the way she made her body appear larger, her face harder, her appearance a decade or more older (without any theatrical makeup that I could see), and turning her normally modulated and melodious voice into a harsh Southie accent. The transformation was complete and incredible.If there was an East End version of the Tony Awards, I would put Ms. Vaughan (who appeared in this production courtesy Actors’ Equity) up against the venerable Tony Award-winning actor Lillias White—who played the title role in “Big Maybelle” at Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor earlier this year—for best performance by a female lead. Heck, I would put Ms. Vaughan up against Frances McDormand, who won Best Leading Actress in a Play for the same role at the 2011 Tony Awards. Brava, brava, brava Ms. Vaughan!"Dan's Papers review for "Other Desert Cities": "It would not be possible to say that anyone stole this show. It is an ensemble and has to remain in that framework, which it does. But the work of Morgan Vaughan, as Brooke Wyeth, shines above all. All these roles demand great flexibility, but the character of Brooke is something else entirely, a complex, driven, brilliant, overly sensitive, liberal, determined but angry young woman and Vaughan rises to this in a way that is unforgettable."
