"Annette Daniels Taylor is a commanding presence as a woman whose cruelty is informed by the silence of what she knows. ”
- Anthony Chase, Artvoice review of Ruined, by Lynn Nottage
"Annette Daniels-Taylor’s direction captures the integrity of these men’s stories, employing a number of theatrical devices that collectively work in harmony ... they complement not only each other, but also the text."
--Ben Siegel, Buffalo News review, I Am a Man by Oyamo
Ms. Daniels-Taylor was excellent in this role. She stole the show!
-D. Cullen, Irish Classical Theater Company patron
"To cast Annette Daniels Taylor, an African American actress with a regal stage presence, is a stroke of genius. Taylor commands the stage with an easy confidence ... a compellingly solid performance—singing, dancing, speaking French—and pulling the action together to delicious effect. She is a high spot of the production." - Anthony Chase, ArtVoice, review of Fallen Angels
"...Saunders (Annette Daniels Taylor), the triple threat maid who can sing, play the piano and speak French...Taylor, forced to abandon her real name - Jasmine (not suitable to Julia and Frederick) to take on the male appellation, Saunders, portrays a Renaissance maid, superior in every way to her superiors.... sings and plays the piano much better than her mistress..." - Mike Keenan, whattravelwriterssay.com, reveiw of Fallen Angels
Annette Daniels Taylor plays Mrs. Muller ... Her take on this situation is uncomfortable, though Taylor’s controlled rage is enough to make you want to understand. Ben Siegel, Buffalo News, Doubt, By John Patrick Shanley
Annette Daniels Taylor’s turn as Mrs. Muller completes the ensemble ... she immediately draws focus with a certain softness and underlying strength, barely controlled anger, and hard understanding of the world ... her shockingly troublesome take on the situation is delivered with such a gravitas ... my only complaint is we saw so little of her.
