"Rage" playwright Janelle Gray
"The final scene of the play, performed by Natasha Wells, was powerful in a different way...it was LOUD. Wells's character, Kyla Myles, is ready to use her voice and has no intention of being stopped. She relentlessly speaks her truths, one after the other, making it clear that she is an unstoppable force. Yes, this character is unbreakable, but so is Natasha Wells. She gave a perfect performance. In fact, I'm not so sure it was a performance. She looked to believe every single word her character said. As her passion, or "Black Woman's Rage" intensified, the lights brightened behind her, almost to the point that they were blinding. The power of this moment was tangible in the room, and Natasha Wells made that possible."

"And finally, Wells brought the play to a close, and the audience to its feet, in the play’s closing scene, as a Black mother and lawyer in Anywhere, USA, 2022, demanding the footage of her child’s death in a police “incident.” Wells’ exhibits phenomenal control as the speech builds to a shattering climax, seething that the powers-that-be picked “the right woman on the wrong day” for the fight ahead."

"Shakin The Mess Outta Misery" playwright Shay Youngblood
"As actress Natasha Wells' (Miss Corine/Miss Rosa) soulful voice began to sing out into the darkened performance space, I knew I was in for a powerful performance."
Dallas Art Beat, Dallas, Texas
"Natasha Wells' extraordinary voice opens the play, and her snuff-taking Miss Corine is a remarkable blend of comedy and courage."

"Shouting Down A Quiet Life", playwright Holli Harms
"It's a powerhouse performance by Natasha Wells as "Bernice" as she deals with the profound unsaid during her married life."
Front Row Center, New York Theatre
"Natasha Wells is funny and delightful as Bernice, a strong woman who knows who she is and relishes her grilled cheese recipe and life in general. Wells has an easy command of the stage, imbuing her character's voice and facial expressions with animation. "Me and my moonlight; it's why we're together," Bernice says at one point, referring to the romantic first meeting between her and Emmett. Wells is fun to watch."
The Column Online
"As Emmett's wife, Bernice, Natasha Wells makes a role that could easily have fallen into stereotype both nuanced and dynamic."
Theater critic, Doug Sturdivant
