Vanishing Points
"Ms. Manasa plays the role of Fran with a dark sadness and admirable restraint. (I have seen her in more manic comic roles-most notably “The Wonder: A Woman Keeps A Secret” also produced by Point of Contention. This role was a jarring contrast, which she played with deftness and subtlety.) " -K.D. Hopkins, Chicago Theatre Beat
"Manasa is incredibly natural onstage and totally believable..." -The Kids Got Moxie
"The weight of Beth’s sudden rootlessness is most striking when she shares the stage with her living sister Fran (the wonderfully natural Morgan Manasa). " - Melissa Albert, Time Out Chicago
After Miss Julie
"...Manasa’s carefully underplayed effort grounds the evening..." - Chicago Theatre Addict
The Wonder: A Woman Keeps a Secret
"Morgan Manasa does quadruple duty bringing bright, distinctive comic turns to each role she plays." - Paige Listerud, Chicago Theatre Beat
The Robbers
"Morgan Manasa ... [does a] solid job of creating distinct characters." - Joy Campbell, Chicago Theatre Beat
The Women of Lockerbie
"[...]it's the actresses portraying the Greek-chorus-like women of Lockerbie (Barbara Button, Lorraine Freund, Morgan Manasa, and Hayley Rice) who are particularly glorious." - Chicago Reader

Morgan Manasa’s turn as the garrulous Welshman Fluellen [was] memorable. - EDGE Media Network
