A "2023 Broadway Woman to Watch" - Broadway Women's Fund
"To spotlight women in leadership, the Broadway Women's Fund — Broadway’s first impact investment fund — is proud to announce the fourth annual Women to Watch on Broadway.
These extraordinarily talented women are excelling in their careers in regional theaters, Off-Broadway, as Broadway Associates, and in Broadway offices. Although they have already achieved significant success — many are winners of prestigious grants, scholarships, and commissions — they may still be considered “emerging.” But each person on this list has emerged ready to take her place at the very top of the industry and shake up the status quo on Broadway."

"The 8 Best Off-Broadway Shows of 2023" - Theater Mania
"An excellent reminder that some of the absolute best productions in New York can be found in smaller off-Broadway theaters, Julissa Contreras’s electrifying drama Vámonos had its world premiere at INTAR. It told the story of the subtle, and not-so-subtle, effects of trauma on a Dominican family living in the Bronx in the wake of 9/11. Tatyana-Marie Carlo directed a phenomenally talented ensemble in a bilingual production that captured the family’s everyday life with uncanny realism on a set that was precisely detailed, right down to the green can of Keebler “Export Sodas” on the counter. The production delivered a dramatic wallop through top-notch performances and brilliant direction that showed how you can make big theater on a small stage."
"In 'La Egoísta,' a Philly-Raised Comedian Confronts Her Selfishness" - The Philadelphia Inquirer
"La Egoísta alternates between her stand-up routines and the push-and-pull of sibling drama, with creative staging that ensures a mic stand is never too far. Merci was confident and commanding with Josefina’s mic...they also passed for the quick-pivoting stagecraft of a budding comic trying to test and push the audience...The play shined when Josefina’s stand-up made the theater feel more like a comedy club. And all jokes aside: the show made me want to call my own my brother."
"Theatre Review: 'Native Gardens,' Dorset Theatre Festival"
"The Dorset Theatre Festival production is light summer entertainment featuring actors who make the laugh lines sparkle...Director Tatyana-Marie Carlo is impressively moderate in making each character sympathetic. Viewers can't take sides because each side is worthy, and fairness itself becomes an elusive goal...Squabbles with neighbors can bring out one's most primal instincts. The characters in Native Gardens become buffoons, but not before they prove that there's nothing people fight harder for than property and cultural identity."
"Trinity Rep's La Broa Delivers a Love Letter to the Founding Families of La Comunidad Latina of Providence" - The Boston Globe
"Plays whose theatrical narratives and cast of characters are built from historical and archival materials have been called “testimony’s ambitious sister” by the late South African Nobel Peace Prize recipient Desmond Tutu. They not only provide a voice for ordinary, often underrepresented people who have lived through extraordinary circumstances, but do so with creative embellishment and dramatic flair. And so they have the great potential to break stereotypes, enhance understanding, and foster empathy by being entertaining as well as informative."
"Currently on Trinity Rep’s Dowling Theater stage is a fine example of this: the world premiere production of “La Broa’,” escrito por Orlando Hernández y bajo la dirección de Tatyana-Marie Carlo. This locally sourced work esta’ inspirada en, and adapted from, the sizable collection of Marta V. Martínez’s oral histories of the Spanish-speaking Mexicanas, Guatemaltecos, Colombianos, y Dominicanos quien se instaló en Providence, R.I., in the mid-20th century."

- The Hartford Courant
"A Pride & Prejudice to be Proud of" - New Haven Review
"The 60th anniversary season of Hartford Stage is off to a crowd-pleasing start. [Kate Hamill's] bright and fun take on Jane Austen’s beloved Pride and Prejudice is given a fully frenetic realization by director Tatyana-Marie Carlo. The cast is having so much fun it all feels quite infectious."
