Highlights from StageRaw’s article of Alma
» Read the Full Review“A spirited Marta Portillo portrays Alma with comedy and flair, while an audacious Heather Lee Echeverria as her daughter Angel volleys back her fair share of adolescent sass and filial love.”
“Gazing up at the Aggie Blue and Gold UC Davis bumper sticker on the fridge (a touching detail from Christopher Scott Murillo’s meticulous set), Portillo distills the wounded and furious shadow side of not merely a working-class immigrant or a woman of color, but a mother betrayed. It’s a beautiful and honest moment guided by Guerrero’s vision, and Benne’s transition to Angel’s lullaby-apology gives emotional texture to the mother-daughter bond.”
