Press+Reviews

"Listeners will be haunted by the way Collier captures the teens' fear as they rely on their wits to escape. Collier keeps her narration steadfast as Addy learns to trust herself and leads her friends to safety. Collier's gripping performance heightens the harrowing survival story in this short but impactful listen."

“Tyla Collier delivers a narration that is nothing short of mesmerizing. Collier captures Medusa's emotional journey from innocence to anguish to unflinching strength with a voice that feels both intimate and raw. Every pause, every tremor, feels intentional and deeply human. Collier balanced vulnerability and power, weaving emotion and tension in a way that makes you forget you're listening to a story. It truly feels like you are living the story alongside Medusa herself.”

"Tyla Collier aptly voices Lamb's hesitancy to befriend the daughter of the town's racist optometrist. Ultimately, Lamb's kindness has disastrous consequences. Each narrator is paired perfectly with a specific character. Collier sweetly voices Lamb, successfully depicting her gentleness."

"Collier is a commanding presence onstage. It is apparent that she is connected to Ti Moune in this production. Her storytelling comes through her beautiful movement as choreographed by director Gerry McIntyre. Each movement has purpose and adds to the story being told. Collier’s clear and powerful voice is pleasant and is well suited for this role. She shows her connection to Ti Moune in the songs “Waiting for Life,” and “Pray” where she is intensely connected yet powerfully individual..."

Front Row Reviewers

"There is not one weak link in this ensemble, so it seems almost unfair to single out performers, but...Tyla Collier grabs our attention with her Little Inez..."
