My Antonia - Theatre Latte Da (Minneapolis, MN)
Rohan Preston of The Minnesota Star Tribune notes that My Ántonia is “a production of considerable tenderness and conviction, one that reanimates the myths and ideals that have long shaped the American imagination."
“Our Ántonia is first personified by Lillian Hochman, former child actor at CTC and other stages, now pursuing a BFA in musical theater at Ithaca College in New York but home for the summer and making us fall in love with the young, spirited Ántonia as Jim does.” - Cherry and Spoon
“Ántonia is embodied by three performers: Lillian Hochman as the fearless young dreamer, Sara Masterson as the resilient adult, and Emily Gunyou Halaas as the nurturing matriarch. Jim, likewise, appears in three forms, portrayed by Reed, Will Dusek and Maddox Tabalba. Together they create a portrait of memory layered across time, where youth and age coexist in conversation.” - Star Tribune
“All six actors are wonderful, and the continuity of their characters lives across those three stages feels thoroughly authentic. Tabalba and Hochman, portraying Jimmy and Ántonia in their childhood, are impressive.” - Talkin Broadway
