" The standout performance in this competently acted production comes from Molly Shayna Cohen, who aces the quirky diction and mannerisms of Raylynn’s friend Asha."

The Washington Post on Blood at the Root

" Raylynn’s best friend is Asha (a sharply comedic, lollipop-sucking Molly Shayna Cohen)... and [their] girlish scenes together are delightfully funny—but they take a sobering turn at the point."

DC Metro Theatre Arts on Blood at the Root

" Asha (Molly Shayna Cohen) seems like a stock character at first... [b]ut in a surprisingly nuanced performance, Cohen lets you glimpse the fear underneath and the desperate longing for a family; she’s loud and crass and shoots one-liners faster than a taser."

MD Theatre Guide on Blood at the Root

" Cohen, who shows she can sashay and pop with the best of them, portrays Asha."
