"...There is a lot of truth being shared in La Egoista, so even despite its shortcomings, it's a play I hope has a fruitful life after it's California premiere."

"...This play will resonate with anyone with siblings while it navigates the often rocky journey which siblings take as they learn to survive each other – and sometimes come to love each other. LA EGOISTA will also appeal to the Latino community, given the characters’ background and history. But it is also a story of two people who rediscover a relationship which they thought was lost. Above all, LA EGOISTA is a character study of two people in crisis – who just happen to be sisters."

"...This story of two very different sisters struggling to connect and reawaken childhood bonds is a mixture of stand-up comedy and drama. The approach by playwright Erlina Ortiz is inventive, but the overall presentation fails to ignite."

"...Dr. Sicre delivers a creative and less passive play that turns experimental at times, allowing the audience to participate and become more invested in the characters and story. On Friday, this worked out as a hilarious scene in itself. Another interesting aspect of the play is the set (Scenic Design: Stephen Gifford), the downstage is the stage where Josefina performs, while the center upstage becomes the hospital and the sisters’ house."
