REVIEWS
Dolores Street
Susanna Ninomiya as Wendy
"The acting level in this show was at a much higher level than in previous LT productions. Stand-outs include Susanna Ninomiya, last seen in ArtBuzz Theatrics’ “Steel Magnolias” at Empire Stage, and Claire Rearer, a recent graduate of FSU. Both created fully realized characters." - Out SFL
The Last Christmas
Susanna Ninomiya as Izzy
"Hart is not the only character with a case of the nerves on this night. Sound engineer Izzy Flores also panics, and Ninomiya, who portrays her, ensures that her character’s nervousness looks and sounds real. With wide dark eyes and dark hair protruding from underneath her backwards cap, Ninomiya’s Flores resembles a rebellious teen who is feeling vulnerable." - Theatrical Musings
"Every single actor in this play – from the three leads in the front studio to all those we encounter in multiple roles later on – are shining stars." - South Florida Theater
Steel Magnolias
Susanna Ninomiya as Annelle
"She served no real plot purpose, but after seeing Susanna Ninomiya’s turn in the role, the character makes sense now. Her lost child is a little too over-the-top at first, but as the play progresses, she opens and blossoms, like, well, a steel magnolia." - Out SFL
"The character who undergoes the biggest change is the town’s newcomer. When we first meet Susanna Ninomiya’s Annelle, she is tense, attentive, serious, and worried. You hear it in her voice and see it in her telling facial expressions and posture. Gradually, though, Ninomiya’s Annelle relaxes, gains confidence and even acts dreamy and cheerful"

Die Mommie Die
Susanna Ninomiya as Edith
"Ninomiya's boisterous performance is a blast, as she twists her words to be less in the vein of Mildred Pierce's spoiled brat Veda and more along the lines of Female Trouble's Dawn Davenport. She leans into how ridiculous the role can be — from the overtly incestuous nature of her love for her father to the deep loathing she holds for her mother — and chews the scenery in the best way. In her leaning into a certain level of absurdity, one can't help but think she'd be perfect in any other high-camp play stagings directly from, or descended from, the era of the Theatre of the Ridiculous"
- Miami New Times
"Critically acclaimed actors such as Clay Cartland, Elizabeth Dimon, Troy J. Stanley, Kevin Veloz … and one talented young newcomer — Susanna Ninomiya — who completely holds her own and will likely be hailed as a rising star of tomorrow."
