WASHINGTON THEATER REVIEW profile
“You either got it, or you ain’t.” The song is all about an actors range. Some actors have a chameleon-like ability to morph into different characters. If her recent roles in the Washington area are any indication, then Liz Mamana has a wide range of “It”.

FAHRENHEIT 451 by Ray Bradbury - Round House Theatre

“Ms. Mamana is excellent as the embodiment of the harried housewife, her poise, humor, and exasperation all in balance, precariously.”
DRAMAURGE

“As Mildred, Montag’s automaton wife, she could not be better.” 
THE GAZETTE

“Liz Mamana hits the nail on the head as Montag’s pill popping, TV-obsessed wife Mildred.  It’s a performance of the “desperate housewife” that’s both hilarious and more bleak than even January Jones as Betty Draper on MAD MEN.” 
WOMAN AROUND TOWN

“Montag’s wife Mildred (Liz Mamana) provides the comedy….she’s the sad clown we’re afraid of becoming.”
DC THEATRE SCENE

“Liz Mamana was able to skirt the fine line of not allowing Mildred to become a cartoon character completely – by demonstrating a smidgen of soul and personality.  A difficult task.”
MD THEATER GUIDE

EDGE NYC

“As the young people alongside these adults, Tartaglia, Minifie and Mamana all give performances of depth and emotional clarity.”

THE CONSTANT WIFE by W. Somerset Maugham – Barksdale Theatre

“This is Mamana’s show, and she is impressive."

" ...a sparkling creature ...fierce intelligence ...admirable independence and ...breathtaking vindictiveness. Mamana is utterly convincing throughout.”
RICHMOND TIMES-DISPATCH

LEND ME A TENOR by Ken Ludwig – Olney Theatre Center

“Miss Mamana makes the role of the wide-eyed debutante somehow seem crisp and new.”
THE WASHINGTON TIMES

“Liz Mamana…gives a zestful turn as a young lady looking for a sexual fling before marriage.”
BOB ANTHONY & CELIA SHARPE...Freelance Arts Critics

“This is farce played to perfection. The entire cast and direction are first rate.”
ARTISTICALLY SPEAKING

OH, THE INNOCENTS by Ari Roth – Theater J, Washington D.C.

“With a voice that is equal parts Carly Simon and Sheryl Crow, Miss Mamana is one of the best things about “Oh, the Innocents.”
THE WASHINGTON TIMES

“Liz Mamana makes a superb entrance onto the local boards with a clearly defined character and a lush voice to match.”
BOB ANTHONY & CELIA SHARPE…Arts Critics on the Web and Foggy Bottom News

“Liz Mamana, making her D.C. debut, finds both vulnerability and determined maturity in Betsy, and she renders Roth’s songs soulful expressions that lay bare hidden sentiments.”
WASHINGTON JEWISH WEEK

SHADOW HOUR by Ralph Tropf – Stella Adler Theatre, L.A.

“ Gordon and Gober are standouts, as is Liz Mamana as a strident and uncompromising feminist…”
L.A. WEEKLY, Theater Pick of the Week

TWELFTH NIGHT by William Shakespeare – Culbreth Theatre

“ Liz Mamana, as Viola, reminds one of a short, young Katherine Hepburn. She is absolutely splendid.”
