“Lithe and long-limbed, with dark, cascading hair, Sandra Tsing Loh opens Mother on Fire, her new one-woman show at the 24th Street Theatre, with an odd, loping, lunatic dance… Still, cavorting on Jerry Buszek's amusing set under the direction of David Schweizer, with Bart DeLorenzo, Loh persists in her maternal diatribe with no holds barred. Pointed, intense and unflagging, she nimbly traverses her show's initial precariousness and hits her stride. A distinctive voice, Loh parlays the minutiae of her urban experience into big laughs.” -- F. Kathleen Foley, Los Angeles Times
