A Little About
|
"Akia's boundless energy, administrative precision, and genuine inter-personal panache frequently impress me. She consistently brings out the best in new and emerging theatrical talent with her keen eye for effectively applying their individual strengths. Akia, amazingly, demonstrates grace under extreme pressure and excels at communicating how to helm even the most uniquely avant-garde vision into an organized production experience."
-Hillary Cohen, Judge Coordinator, New York Innovative Theatre Awards
“powerfully gut-wrenching” “a great performance” “Director Akia guides the brave cast through stereotype-busting portrayals of people who live in our country but somehow don’t live anywhere. ”
Ed Malin, Outerstage
(for The Glory Of Living)
"Akia is one of the most visionary artistic directors I've ever known. She knows how to make the most out of few resources, while keeping her actors and staff motivated, and making people believe in their work, art, craft and self to achieve heights of creativity they may not have thought they could. A confidante, mentor and friend, I wouldn't have seen how bright my own artistic flame can burn without her guidance"
