Ofelina "A Park In Our House"** Florida Stage, Manalapan, Florida 1998 |
**Carbonell Nomination for Best Actress |
Oscar Riba |
"... The cast, truly an evenly matched ensemble, is sublime. Still, it is the women you'll remember. Peterson, an American actress, is so convincing as a Latina that you'd swear she once called Havana home. Her metaphoric instruction to Camilo about sex - delivered as she's removing the entrails from a pathetically scrawny black-market pig - is both touching and funny." - Christine Dolen/Miami Herald, 1998 ".....no easy trick in the company of Jessica K Peterson, last seen here in Hysteria, an ethnic chameleon whose bone-weary Ofelina is the delicate balance of this put-upon family unit. If Cuban women stand out, that is due in part to Cruz's recognition of their strength..." - Hap Erstein/Palm Beach Post, 1998 "...Benny Sato Ambush ... steers a first-rate cast gingerly through Cruz's Park.... Each member of the fine ensemble cast can turn a character facet to the right dramatic or comic angle for scintillating acting moments.....". - Jack Zink/Sun-Sentinel, 1998 "...Benny Sato Ambush... has nurtured wonderfully naturalistic performances from his actors, from the convincing erotic-tempered maternalism of Peterson...." - Skip Sheffield/Boca Raton News, 1999 |
