"
There is much to admire and moments of considerable power in “Alma,” directed at Central Square Theater by Elena Velasco.
The director has devised a haunting visual finale to the production."  - Don Aucoin, Boston Globe.

"Under Velasco’s taut direction, the action never stops." - Michele Markarian, Theatre Mirror.  www.theatermirror.net/?p=6295
"Director Elena Velasco, Carney, and Lopez fostered a loving family. Even amidst the female roars and flying chanclas, it is obvious that Alma and Angel have a triumphant love for each other."  - Kitty Drexel, New England Theatre Geek.

READ THE REVIEWS!

"The briskly-paced, bright, and cheerful musical captures that divine and fleeting moment in early childhood when the lines between reality and fantasy are blurred, and where a girl, her dog, and the boy from down the street can travel through the solar system without leaving her bedroom.” - Peter Orvetti, MD Theatre Guide
"The musical — book and lyrics by Lauren Gunderson, music by Bree Lowdermilk, directed and choreographed by Elena Velasco — is interactive, full of facts about the sun and planets, and it’s immersive." - Sarah Shah, DC Theatre Arts
