"... the Port Authority’s public relations woman, played nicely by Nehassaiu deGannes, one of two supporting actors who play multiple roles. Ms. deGannes is also an untraveled Midwestern secretary, who refers to the Chrysler Building as “the shiny one”; and, dressed in a slinky silver Deco-look gown, she portrays the Chrysler Building itself." ---- The New York Times read the review
"deGannes in particular, makes a flashy, passionate Chrysler Building, shining in a silver gown and crown, not an easy part to play." ---Highland Park Mirror

PROOF
“Catherine does give pause, especially in deGannes’ performance, in which her brimming anger could easily be mistaken as madness. She switches moods with a chameleonlike [sic] dexterity, be it sparring with her sister, flirting with Hal… or simply speaking with her father… In short Catherine is a handful, and deGannes plays her with touching believability. It’s a wonderfully naturalistic performance in a production, tightly staged by Brian McEleney.”
–––Robert Nesti, The Boston Herald
“… it’s deGannes who’s a delight to watch, as she changes gears so easily and confidently from adoring daughter to uneasy lover and testy sibling.” –––Channing Gray, The Providence Journal
“deGannes draws your attention from the first moments with her vibrancy, compassion and quickness, all wrapped in a cloud of vulnerability. That’s a good trick, and she does it well.” –––David Howard, The Seekonk Star

A PREFACE TO THE ALIEN GARDEN
“Trinity gives Alexander a smoking production, with a blazing turn by Keskhemnu as G Roc, a hypnotic one by Nehassaiu deGannes as Lisa, and a Sportin’ Life-worthy performance by John Douglas Thompson as Slick Rick.”
