Cornerstone Community Council Member Testimony
“Lorinda Hawkins, as Emma Glenn, was dressed like the perfect nurturing Godmother every person would love to have in their life. Her performance was endearing, humble and motherly. Red, hot tears filled her eyes during the play many times so that you felt the pain she was going through while trying to be brave and knowing that her godson would be executed soon.” – Lesson Before Dying – LA Splash Review
Bobby Buck Show – Ladies Take The Mic – Hosted by Suzette Shaw – Domestic Violence Episode (#150128_1600) – Skid Row Radio (Officer Deon Joseph, Angela Harper, Lorinda Hawkins)
“Lorinda Hawkins plays Becca and does an excellent job. Her voice is strong and the manner in which she controls her physical life is superb. As the character, she cares for her clients and wants the best for them. This was really wonderful work.” Love on San Pedro – Joe Straw Review, 2013
