DC's Monologue Madness
Heart and mind were taken away by competitor Towanda Underdue when she executed a passionate and calamitous depiction of a wife who knows of her husband’s affair, hands and body trembling to the sorrow and torment unfolding in her marriage.

Karla Casique, The Writer's Bloc
[In The Kennedy Center's Mussolini’s Ghost by Judith Brussell ] The ironic testimony from the Iraqi Feminist (Towanda Underdue) is a high point. After the U.S. invasion and occupation, Iraqi women lost social status, all freedom and rights they once had, because the Americans support the fundamentalists in the south.
Rosalind Lacy, DC Theatre Scene
Rounding out the cast is the thoroughly engaging Towanda Underdue who plays a wide variety of roles, including a Republican henchman of Roy Cohn's, a sympathetic nurse, a supercilious real estate agent, a schizophrenic homeless woman, and the titular angel who brings with her prophesy and wonder.  Ms. Underdue creates distinct, layered characters and only once gets close to nibbling the scenery during her scene as the homeless woman.

 [In Wole Soyinka's Death and the King's Horseman at Washington Shakespeare Company] "...the horseman's bride contrasts nicely with the passion of Towanda Underdue as the "Mother of the Market" who takes the horseman to task for his failures."
