 ESPEJOS: CLEAN

“Legna Cedillo (Adriana) uses her extensive acting chops and luminous cadence to buoy us ruthlessly from plot point to plot point, using the power of stillness to throw the audience off balance. It is in these moments that we are forced to feel Adriana’s rippling despair and fierce joy. Cedillo is truly a class act.”

  • DC Theater Arts, Fosse Thornton

“…the production showcases two excellent performers who tap in to the script’s poetry and feeling.”

“Cedillo displays alluring poise, her ramrod-straight posture signaling the character’s determination, her expressions making us believe in Adriana’s eye for detail.”

  • The Washington Post, Celia Wren

“A persuasive two-hander, each actor plays one character yet the work leaves you with the feeling that you’ve met an entire cast of characters. It’s some feat; a real tribute to writing and performance. Both talented actors who work skillfully alone and together are making their Studio Theatre debuts.”

  • Washington Blade, Patrick Folliard

“Adriana (the compelling Legna Cedillo)”

“Cedillo and Karaman turn in remarkably complex and engaging performances”

  • MD Theatre Guide, Nancy Blum

“…while Cedillo ably shows how Adriana makes her way through a tangle of determination, desire, fear, and exasperation.”

  • Talkin’ Broadway, Susan Berlin

“Legna Cedillo gives heart and determination to Adriana, a woman from a small town who defies her family by joining the ranks of the resort cleaning crews of Cancun, quickly working her way to a no-nonsense management position that still allows her to pitch in as needed. Certainly, the daily chores are ground into her character such that she can repeat its endless cycles faster and faster, as she does in a dazzling second-act scene. But she shows further dimensions as she shakes off her official attire and lets her hair down.”

  • Broadway World, Roger Catlin

AMERICANO

 “As his love interest Ceci, the very talented Legna Cedillo shows off an extraordinary voice that shakes the rafters.”

  • Theatrely , Joey Sims

“Ceci López, is played by Legna Cedillo with a stunning vocal ability, especially with a solo on “I Can See It in Your Eyes,” a ballad with a Mexican folk flair.”

  • Theater Pizzazz, Marilyn Lester

“Ingénue Legna Cedillo is beautiful, has a gorgeous singing voice and does well in both comedic and dramatic scenes.”

  • Stage and Cinema, Kevin Vavasseur

“Cedillo endows Ceci with both vocal strength and real heart.”

  • Theatermania, Zachary Stewart

“Legna Cedillo as the indomitable Ceci is best able to find the heart of these songs without getting all bound up in their repetitive 2/4, 6/8, and 3/4 rhythms and straightforward, down-to-earth lyrics.”

  • Talking Broadway, Howard Miller

“…and the theater crowd can feel the depth of her passion in the song, “I Can See it in Your Eyes.” It is a lovely, heartfelt tune.”

  • The Front Row Center, Victoria Dammer

A CHRISTMAS CAROL

“and most crucially, his fiancée, Belle (Cedillo, who refreshingly infuses the role with spunkiness that often is absent).”

  • Town Topics, Donald H. Sanborn III 

“Legna Cedillo is a kind, understanding Belle who shows how much she longs for Ebenezer to be even partially a man who whom she could share, as opposed to spend, life.”
