Reviews
“A Tribe Called Tubman,” from TheaterWorksUSA, is the most fully realized, incisive and moving of the shows, both because of its length — 42 minutes — and its reliance on an actor’s presence...the play stars Jada Suzanne Dixon as a serene and commanding Harriet Tubman..."
~Laurel Graeber
New York Times
"All of Brunstetter’s characters are richly drawn, and the cast does each full justice: Jada Suzanne Dixon, who gives Macy dignified reserve — and resolve."
~Juliet Whitman

"Chelle...is given a quietly moving performance by Jada Suzanne Dixon, who makes her both sturdy and vulnerable..."

"...you’ll not see a better ensemble playing off each other with such fine aplomb, the bar has been raised"
~Lisa Kennedy
The Denver Post
"Jada Dixon, sitting in shadow during the evening’s final moments, commands your attention. You see it all on her face – Shatique’s weariness, rage and pain; her intense and terrible loneliness – and can only wonder at the courage it takes to reveal such emotional depths"
~Juliet Whitman

"...Dixon finds an unspoken subtext that comes to the fore with an intensity that is both natural and painful..."
