For "Hana's Suitcase":
From the Chicago Tribune: "Several strong performances from the likes of Dev Kennedy (Hana's father), Mia Park (the teacher) and Greta Honold (Hana) ooze truth and quiet dignity."
From the Chicago Sun Times: "...the show follows Fumiko Ishioka (an effortless Mia Park) and her ever-curious and creative students Akira (the comically high-flying Allan Aquino) and Maiko (smart, feisty Stephanie Kim) as they contact Holocaust museums far and wide and try to reinvent the terrible ordeal of Hana and her family."
For "The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow":
From the Chicago Tribune: "And as Jenny's robotic alter ego, Jenny Chow, Mia Park superbly negotiates the tricky divide between the artificiality of a machine and the warm heart of its creator."
"Jennifer Marcus — and her faux-Jenny Chow — aren't just excitable, they're exciting."
"...her alter-ego robot played touchingly by "Chic-a-Go-Go" host Mia Park."
From the Chicago Sun-Times: "Actress Mia Park was outstanding in the role of robot Jenny Chow in Collaboraction's "The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow."
"[Jennifer Marcus] finds her spirited match in her cyber-age Frankenstein monster Jenny Chow (...so good she truly verges on the cyber)."
From TimeOut Chicago:
"Park, first a stiff-jointed droid and eventually a flesh-and-blood Pygmalion, is every bit as good as Shin, and the two eventually make for a shared, synergistic performance."
"The fine actor with the hot yoga moves who plays the titular robot in Collaboraction's 'The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow'...is Mia Park."
From Windy City Times:
"And while the burden of the action rests on Jennifer Shin and Mia Park’s tag-team rapport, the supporting players—in particular, Scott Kennedy as an array of eccentrics showcasing Jessica Cai’s dialects—lend uniform depth and humanity to roles easily reduced to stereotypes."
