One of the night’s best scenes came from the prophet (Mia Siffin), who warns Creon to think prudently and compassionately, lest untold sorrow follow. Siffin, also a standout in the play’s chorus, is splendid as the stumbling, blind fortuneteller. Her speaking voice, too, is rich and mellow. Warning — If only Creon hadn’t disdained her, accusing her of self-interest only.

Mia Siffin’s performance as the very drunk acting coach was an absolute scene-stealer. The woman served us some genuine holiday ham in her hilarious scene where she “teaches” Ui how to walk (the goose-step), sit and stand in public. Siffin’s scenery-chewing and wild blocking during her Antony monologue is uproariously funny and also perfectly aligned with Brecht’s critiques of the emphasis on the pure emulation of effete acting styles in early twentieth-century theatre.

Shocking Mr. Miller further is Jamie’s vegan feminist friend Jill, played by Mia Siffin.

In keeping with Mr. Miller’s intrusion upon Jill’s pride, I, too, will comment on Siffin’s beauty. (Jill smugly informs him that “we don’t say things like ‘pretty’ anymore.”)

Siffin is just right in this role.

Siffin’s and Farrell’s scene is one of the play’s most poignant, pitting two opposites against each other, as Gil-Sheridan enjoys doing. Yet, how opposite are they?

Mia Siffin is a charmer as the teen daughter Lis.

George Walker (reviewing Out of Orbit for WFIU Arts)

 

Lis is rebellious in small but potent ways, and Siffin captures her totally… there wasn’t a moment I didn’t believe her.

Bloomington local Mia Siffin soars in Out of Orbit.

Two actors stand out in this proficient lot. Mia Siffin is nearly brilliant as the third-rate actor hired to give Ui lessons in elocution and stage presence. She is also heart-rending as a wounded woman reporting a shot-up truck.
