WHAT CRITICS SAY ABOUT JORDAN MARIA DON
As "Lucia" in Fade
As "Clara" in Edit Annie
As "Lucia" in Fade
"Don is so believable as Lucia that she now carries my top spot as biggest fictional jerk...Don’s skill is apparent, as she must have had to reach deep down to access the complexities that make up Lucia."

As "Clara" in Edit Annie
As "Lucia" in Fade
"A two-person showcase that is worth seeing mainly for a couple of strong performances...Actors Jordan Maria Don and Caleb Cabrera are memorable here...I can recommend Fade..for anyone who wants to watch two actors bring complexity to characters whose fates often feel predetermined."

As "Marisa" in The Displaced
"...Equally compelling is Don as Clara, able switch from “mask-off” to smiley with the skill of a seasoned politician. Though one may despise influencers, Don makes it easy to see Clara’s appeal to her one million followers."

"Rockett and Don...bring forth truth to the story. Often, the characters have to stop on a dime and change course due to some abrupt transitioning. And each time, those shifts are handled with the right amount of tension, suave como la mantequilla...Don’s Marísa has to operate on another level. To her credit, the performance never goes down the cliché trap and achieve unintended laughs. There is a truth to each choice, exquisitely detailed as bodies and attitudes transform."

"the two actors are utterly convincing every moment. Whether they’re arguing, tickling each other to the pint of hysteria, kissing, teasing and flirting or, well, much, much worse, they’re never less than authentic."

"Don's work as lawyer-Alcinoe in Act II really allows her to shine, particularly her heartbreaking drunken closing argument."

"Each of the four Reverends testifies...they tell their stories so grippingly and so sincerely that we are intrigued. We want to believe them..they keep trying to enlighten and seduce us, the churchgoers, in stronger and stronger terms. We are stymied by their charm, their wit, their tireless talent and investment in the church-like project and just give ourselves up to their ongoing, constantly changing, and calamitous stories."
