Lines has received several Jessie Richardson Theatre Award nominations. She was nominated for a Jessie Richardson Award in 2014 for the category of Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role for Small Theatre for her performance in Whose Life Is It Anyway? staged by Realwheels Theatre.[7] Lines has been fascinated by Shakespeare's plays from an early age.[8]
Lines was praised by the Globe and Mail for her gender-bending portrayal of Horatio in the Bard on the Beach's 2013 staging of Hamlet.[9] The Georgia Straight has praised Lines for both her technical skill and for being "emotionally present" as an actress.[10] The Province calls Lines' performance "classic."[11] Vancouver Sun calls Lines one of "Vancouver's brightest stars of the theatre."[12]
