    Our Town

    "Emily (Cindy De La Cruz, artfully aging from bratty to mature)"  

    Washington Post 


    "Another standout was De La Cruz as Emily. De La Cruz nailed the earnestness of her character, bringing Emily’s genuine realizations to life in a way that’s crucial for “Our Town” to hit its mark."

    Maryland Theatre guide 

    Stupid Fucking Bird

    "Cindy De La Cruz gives Nina an off-kilter flavor that makes her intriguing"

    DC Metro Arts


    Dearly Departed

    "And De La Cruz has good energy as the betrayed Suzanne, flinging herself into the part with abandon. "

    Sarasota Magazine 

    The Niceties

    "Both Baker and De La Cruz give energetic, invigorating performances in this fast-paced and high-octane play, sharing a magnetic chemistry that comes from their command of the stage and their craft"

    "it could just as easily be showcased in an empty room, because the show is carried by the conviction and power that these two women bring to the stage."

    BWW 


    "As Zoe Reed, Cindy De La Cruz is a powerhouse.

     Zoe's transformation is as convincing as it is seamless."
