reviews.
“COMPELLING… BOLD AND COMMANDING… STELLAR DIRECTION… has a lot to say about navigating relationships, romantic or familial. LaMadrid has a firm grasp on each of the characters.”
— Nikki Munoz, Los Angeles Times
...a DELICIOUSLY FUN balancing (one) act...LaMadrid brings an authentic vibe and energy to each and every character she inhabits...finding definition and connection to each sharp edge....LaMadrid is a joy and a pleasure to behold." |
The Oxy Complex is a THOUGHT-PROVOKING examination of what makes each of us special – and our lives unique and compelling...LaMadrid resurrects the many faces reflected in her experience... in other words, all the women harbored in her skin." |
A SUPERB DARK COMEDY that touches the heart… well-written and performed.” |
...RELATABLE, POIGNANT, AND DARKLY FUNNY...LaMadrid’s portrayal of each character is singular and specific, and her vulnerability...is quite lovely" |
