“Garcia is sharp yet sympathetic as the combative Connie, who struggles not only with her feelings for Brewster and Gary but as a person with a Native American father and a white mother who’s never felt completely accepted in her community.” - Terry Morgan, Stage RAW

“Without any irony regarding a work that focuses on Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and the 2011 tornado in Joplin, Mo., I can honestly say I was blown away by the subject, the substance, the professionalism and impact of this production.

“It is a such a rare thing for there to be a play that has the name of a non-white person in the title,” director BD Wong said. “She’s the heart of the play, and I strongly believe that the audience will really bond with her and root for her. She comes around on the other side triumphant, so there’s hope there for anyone who thinks of themselves as an Alice Chan.” - American Theatre Magazine
“Smaller parts are also impressively done. As Antigone’s more elegant sister Ismene, Kyla Garcia becomes a balance to the title character’s determined single-mindedness, as she ranges from fear to compromise with little effect on the outcome.” - Frances Baum Nicholson
