"Wallace's turn as a woman who descends into insanity is touching and
powerful. Wallace has clearly done her research on the medical
condition of schizophrenia: She shows great versatility as her slightly
zoned-out turn when she's a Thorazine zombie gradually shifts into edgy
twitchiness."
Paul Birchall, Backstage
Lucia Mad
"Meg Wallace plays a captivating Lucia...Wallace takes over the stage with daydreaming antics
and a childlike demeanor due to her mental decline."
Erica Carey, The Scoop LA
"Meg
Wallace’s performance as Lucia Joyce is captivating from beginning to
end. Her ability to portray a character with such innocence, while at
the same time, such madness, is impeccable.
It
is easy for the audience to feel as if, they themselves are going mad,
while watching Wallace erratically prance around the stage, and
listening to her, sometimes incoherent, dialogue."
Cecily Arambula, Socal.com
"Wallace finds
the charm as well as the logic in the calculating but irrational Lucia
and makes her madness credible."
Neal Weaver, Backstage
The Food Chain
"Wallace plays a published poet but looks more like a waitress. However,
she has excellent command of her lines, especially a lengthy monologue
detailing her pent up pain and agony."
Ingrid Wilmot, Will Call.com
Eleemosynary
"Wallace has
captured the essence of the young teen with a wonderful combination of
fluctuating innocence and maturity."
Jose Ruiz, Review Plays.com
To Carry the Child
"Meg Wallace gives an unforgettable performance as Ashley"
Marvin Vasquez, Campus Circle
"And the true gem of the play was Meg Wallace, who played Ashley. The true quality of the star came out in the later acts when her sickness got the best of her"
Jamie Gall, Socal.com
How I Learned to Drive
"Meg
Wallace acted brilliantly as she shrank and rose with the confusion of
her character. Her lilting voice hesitated during the scenes of
questionable conduct and you could feel the awkwardness penetrate the
air"
Angela Gomez, Socal.com
The Square Root of Wonderful
"Playing the central character, Mollie, Meg Wallace gives a performance
of great depth and grace. Mollie is poetic and lyrical without trying to
be, and Wallace’s portrayal is similarly sincere and unselfconscious.
Her lovely speaking voice is well-suited to the song-like Georgia drawl
and her unusual cadences give the dialogue variety. Wallace exhibits
star quality, likability, and is easy on the eyes."
George Downing, LA Opening Nights
Through A Glass Darkly
" I did admire the spooky sweetness of Wallace’s Karin"
LA TIMES, Margaret Gray
"with Wallace being a standout in the central role. She’s magnetic as she
bounds from flirty to broken to madness, sometimes in the course of one
scene."
EDGE, Bryan Buss
"Wallace offers a genuinely moving turn as the emotionally decomposing daughter"
LA WEEKLY, Paul Birchall
A Strange Disappearance of Bees
"Wallace shines again with an unmatched tenderness, innocence and unmitigated backbone"
NORTH HOLLYWOOD PATCH, Radomir Luza
"Wallace knows a thing or two about playing young women at various
age levels. In the aforementioned Eleemosynary she played a child
through a teen and here she fluctuates from a young teenager to mature
woman with equally believable poise."
REVIEW PLAYS, Jose Ruiz
"Meg
Wallace expertly handles Lissa’s escape from her otherwise subservient
existence when she attacks Callum over his reluctance to divorce his
(unseen) wife."
Artsinla.com, Dink O'Neal
Blood Relations
"Meg Wallace is nothing short of amazing in this
challenge where she has to play the actress playing Lizzie and the role
of Lizzie herself. Wallace takes the character from a
sometimes daddy's little girl type to a ferocious adversary, determined
to overcome any obstacles in her way. Her brilliant red dress is
symbolic of many issues in her life, not the least of which is the
possibility that Borden could have been a real axe murderer.
She can jump from innocence to hate on a dime and keep you guessing
where she will go next."
Jose Ruiz, Review Plays.com
"The excellent cast... Meg Wallace as an actress brilliantly “performing”
Lizzie"
Morna Murphy Martell, Theatre Spoken Here
" a heart-breaking portrayal of an isolated woman, plagued by feelings she is unable to express. Wallace shines as
this “dark Lizzie.” As time passes, the character becomes more and more
unstable, and by the climax, her rage is tangible."
