What people are saying:

Heroes of the Fourth Turning:

“Josh Schell and Ash Malloy get the real juicy parts, rising to the occasion with sparkling performances.”

-Steve Murray, Broadway World  

“It is Teresa (Ash Malloy) who comes to this gathering with a self-assurance that is mystifying and off-putting at the same time. She opines with impunity, drilling down on every belief that her self-assured power blazer allows. Moments between the Bannon stan Teresa and her former professor, the Barry Goldwater Republican Gina, are some of the most compelling engagements that the play offers, with fresh organic movement by the superb Malloy and the skilled presence of Damilano.”

- DAVID JOHN CHÁVEZ, Bay arEA pLAYS

Superb acting. Josh Schell and (lightning-quick) Ash Malloy maintain their vibrancy throughout.

-Patricia Morin, Theatrius

“Malloy gives a fine turn as hard-ass Teresa, which would fall into self-parody in the hands of a lesser actor.”

-Charles Lewis III,48 hills

The intensity that Ash Malloy brings to her Teresa is palpable and yes, totally charismatic. She is almost evangelical as she describes her full, undying belief in William Straus and Neil Howe’s generational theory….When she is not on her pedestal of espousing blog-worthy soundbites, we see in Teresa’s face hints of unspoken self-doubt and regret.”

-Eddy Reynolds-Theatre Eddys

“Teresa, portrayed masterfully by Ash Malloy, could easily come off as sterile — a caricature of far-right web reactionaries. She combatively quotes Steve Bannon in her blazer, calls Kevin a “soy boy” and confronts every character with the prospect of a looming ideological war. Malloy duels Susi Damilano as Gina, new president of the Catholic college and horrified mentor of Teresa, with an energy that brings new stakes to the latter half of the play.”

-Sarah Kuhn, the Daily Californian 

Born in East Berlin:

"Both actors (Jones) and (Ash Malloy) offer nuanced and dynamic characters, pulling us in.

-Daniel Milutin, theatrius.com

“Perry’s cast members charm. Malloy gives the brash Anne a freewheeling confidence, as if she thinks she should be able to win the Germans over on every point with no more than a “Hey, now, you guys.” 

-Lily Janiak, SF Chronicle

“The vividness of Anne also keeps us on the edge of our seats, because Ash Malloy, who brings her to life, is such a thrilling presence. Her combination of passion, pragmatism, innocence and, at the same time, in the eyes of her adversaries, her brazen sexuality informs her every movement on stage. It is hard to avert one’s eyes from Ms. Malloy; one looks forward to seeing her again. It helps that she is Martinez’s most striking and original creation. We know her. She is us. 

-Harvey Perr, stageandcinema.com

"The strongest work comes from Ash Malloy as Anne and Patrick Andrew Jones as Hans"

-My Cultural Landscape, George Haymont

"Margarett Perry’s cast do quite well in their roles. A great exchange – probably the best one to feature Martinez’s dialogue – is one in which Anne (Malloy) and ‘Brad’ (Jones) have it out... It makes you want to know more about these characters, regardless of what brought them together."

-The Thinking Man's Idiot

Dressed as a goth-punk hybrid in black leather and red flannel, her hair teased out to its full-on ratted potential, she negotiates the contracts for Bruce Springsteen’s concert tours. If you happened to be alive in the ’80s, you either were Anne, a wannabe Anne, or Anne-adjacent. She’s brash, wholly herself, and armed with an omnipotent sense of her American privilege.

-SF WEEKLY Jeffrey Edalatpour 

The confinement of Springsteen’s manager, big-haired “Anne” (Ash Malloy) (who astounds with her insouciance) is beyond funny. Anne manages to either agitate each of the boundary-less government bureaucrats to confusion- or draw them in with her unique form of American charm.

-Splash Mag, Michele Caprario

My name is Rachel Corrie :

Malloy's portrayal of each and every stage of Corrie's development is immaculate. Within the space of about 90 minutes, she smoothly moves the character from a franticly earnest youth to an extremely bewildered but present and determined and articulate young adult.

-Rochester City Newspaper

[Malloy's] youthful energy is electric, and she builds knowledge and awareness with her character in a progression that is subtle and transfixing.Malloy conveys the tragedy of all the people touched in this story, a Palestinian gardener, Rachel's mother, Rachel at various stages in life, with acute sensibility.
