 “Against a stark white set, Juanita Amonitti wields a big stick and a wise voice and calls to order Ntozake Shange’s choreopoem that sings, steps, dances, and wails the tales of angry, lonely, jubilant, and beautifully colored girls who know love…and loss: everything from the loss of one’s virginity to the loss of a child to the loss of one’s self. Amid rose petals, Michael LeLand’s production is sublimely staged and superbly acted.”

The Village Voice, NYC

"The fresh organic staging results in a profoundly thrilling new work. The director Michael LeLand usually ignores old stage directions and creates scenes that are totally new and vividly compelling. It is the dynamic craft of the actors in tune with the unique direction that sends this performance into a class by itself beyond the average Broadway revival"

.-New Amsterdam News

"Many Gratifying Moments. Those Moments owe to the director Michael LeLand and this disciplined troupe... There are those moments when Creon and his troops let us feel the threat Medea felt; when the Corinthian women reflect with sardonic humor on women’s lives in the ancient world; above all, when the final slaughter is described in a choked scream, then You think this company can do almost anything well..."
