“Alicia displays a real grasp of text, actor, style, and image. Her work has style, but is deeply felt; Alicia is a humanist in her bones, and everything she comes in contact with is imbued with a real depth of understanding. Alicia is one of those rare young directors who does indeed have ample vision, but her vision puts the human condition front and center. She is a wonderful, open person; a natural leader and collaborator, she knows how to get the best out of everyone she works with. I've never seen companies so committed to their director as I have with Alicia.”
