The Last Match
"Maddie Scanlan as Galina...was superb. Her accent, attitude, and open disdain for any hope of happiness are precise and unflinching. Yet underneath the tough, negative Russian countenance is a woman in search of acceptance — to be loved, even if she no longer believes in the promise that love will save her. Scanlan allows that contradiction to live fully without softening it."
-Elise Krentzel, Sun News Austin​​
"Maddie Scanlan lights up the stage as Galina. She is funny, sharp, and emotionally grounded, crafting a character whose humor masks real vulnerability. Her performance brings warmth into a play that can otherwise feel cerebral."

Suddenly Last Summer

"Maddie Scanlan delivers a raw and emotionally charged portrayal of Catherine Holly ... Her gripping performance holds your heart in a vice ... With each word, she builds an atmosphere of suspense ... leaving the audience breathless..."
-Sabrina Wallace, Broadway World Austin​

"Maddie Scanlan, who played Catherine Holly, performed as Dorothy in last season’s Above the Fold and outdid herself in this performance. She embodied the role with aplomb and modesty."
-Elise Krentzel, Sun News Austin
​
"Scanlan’s enactment of Catherine’s banned story leads to the end of the play. Her performance is a tribute to Scanlan’s talent and skill...Kudos to Scanlan"

Above the Fold
"Leading the cast of ABOVE THE FOLD, Maddie Scanlan (Dorothy) delivers a solid performance, moving between frustration with her colleagues, equivocation in her personal life, and self-discovery in uncovering her inner voice. Scanlan particularly stands out in her scenes with Toluwani (Minnie) and Angela J. Latham (Mrs. Hoey), where the struggles of each of the women compassionately and carefully leads to the transformation of each of their characters."

The Real Inspector Hound
"Maddie Scanlan as Felicity uses her character’s wild mood swings to establish the rhythm of the play: frantic, accusing, coy, and charming in turns, she seamlessly delivers a fireworks display of emotions."

The Importance of Being Earnest
"Scanlan and Castillo ... bring poised elegance and charm to the roles, and nicely tilt toward their characters’ superficiality without becoming Victorian Kardashians."
-Bob Abelman, The Austin Chronicle​
"Both actresses deliver captivating performances that claim the attention and hearts of the audience from the moment they come on stage."
-Sabrina Wallace, Broadway World
