What people are saying.

  • "The film gets a huge boost from both of the leads who deliver excellent performances. Flee the Light has only a handful of characters and frequently Andra and/or Delfi are the only ones on screen. Thankfully Tuma and Marquis are able to convey the struggles their characters are going through."

  • “Of particular note: Annie Tuma embodied Hermia, fierce as I’ve ever seen."

    —(Theatre Rusticle’s Midsummer Night’s Dream) MOONEY ON THEATRE

  • “ Annie Tuma as Pippi, has to sing out her entire back story - which contains many crucial plot points - but is so effortlessly charming that she commands our attention with the riveting grace of a Broadway diva."

    — (Pippi: The Strongest Girl in the World) DREW ROWSOME

  • "there’s momentum in this young group of musical creators [Tuma, Maripuu, Doak] for development and expansion. This maiden voyage of Pippi: The Strongest Girl in the World proves that this crew has a solid course set out in front of them — they’re just going to need a bigger boat."

    THE TORONTO STAR

  • "MOBY is haunting, and a stunningly beautiful production. This show does what one hopes theatre will do, transports you outside of your own lived experience through transformative storytelling while providing an opportunity to experience aspects of the human condition in all of its raw emotional potential…."

    (MOBY: A Whale of a Tale) MY ENTERTAINMENT WORLD

  •  "Moby-Dick, the famed tale by Herman Melville that has become synonymous with the the concept of doomed, obsessive revenge, gets a new life as a musical written by Gorgon Theatre‘s Lena Maripuu and Annie Tuma and presented by Pirate Life Theatre. Let’s just say that you don’t want this site-specific piece to be the one that got away."

    (MOBY: A Whale of a Tale) MOONEY ON THEATRE

  • "Every actor in the cast is thoroughly charming and poised, with strong singing voices. I loved Tuma’s narrative voice and winning, wide-eyed enthusiasm as Ishmael."

    (MOBY: A Whale of a Tale) MOONEY ON THEATRE

  • "Jenna-Lee Hyde, Lena Maripuu, Reanne Spitzer and Annie Tuma form the outstanding ensemble."

    (Molly Bloom) NOW TORONTO

  • "The performances from the two leads Annie Tuma and Ariana Marquis are both strong, making you want to see more from them going forward."
