Oliver Houser, writer of She Reached For Heaven
“Annika gave us what all theater writers dream of: she breathed life into a character in ways I never could have seen or imagined… Having developed original musicals at theaters across the United States and abroad, I can safely say Annika is one of the most gifted actors I have seen bring my work to life.”
Bryn Boice, Associate Artistic Director of Commonwealth Shakespeare Company
"Annika is my favorite kind of actor; she is an incredibly hard worker, a smart actor, a fun person to work with, and an interesting type. She is very strong, edgy-cool and tough, but also has great depth of feeling and can be quite vulnerable. A Beatrice AND a Benedick, if you know what I mean."
