"Santana’s lovely, passionate-waters-run-deep daughter... are fabulous as well.

It’s the best all-around production I’ve seen from Open Fist in years, and for those familiar with the company’s nearly three decades of excellence on the L.A. theater scene, that is high praise indeed. An Open Fist Theatre Company triumph."

Steven Stanley, Stage Scene LA

Tracey Paleo, Gia On The Move

"Jade Santana is an absolute icon of beauty from the inside out"

Marilyn Tower Oliver, Los Feliz Ledger

"This production is marked with strong acting...

Younger sister Marela (Jade Santana) is perky and energetic."

Margaret Gray, LA Times

"A lovely revival... Lights a powder keg of passion"

"Entertaining and faithful to Nilo Cruz’s work… It has a cast of seven talented actors… Is thoroughly enjoyable, with actors that work hard to give you the flavors and the sounds of the island… A great play."

Dena Burroughs, The Fume Of Sighs

"Stunning, vivacious Jade Santana.

The play is Shakespearean, even biblical… It can easily be called a modern tragedy, sown through with moments of comedy and heated romance." 

Paul Myrvold, Theatre Notes

"A reminder of the emotional richness and beauty that immigrants bring to this country. There is an openness to change and new ideas, a vulnerability and a deep sense of hope"

Stephen Fife, Stage Raw
