Quotes

"What a production! I was wary when I learned it was a production of kids, but really, it was as good as many of the local musical theatre productions I've seen in town. All in all, a completely professional, enjoyable night of theatre...and one of my favorite shows, so it was a joy to get to see it again!"
-Goldstar Review

"This was terrific -- some of the voices of these young actors were startlingly good! I didn't realize when I purchased the tickets that this was the youth conservatory, but I'm glad I didn't because I might have underestimated the professionalism of the cast. "
-Goldstar Review

"What a treat! These young (and a few not so young) performers sang and acted like seasoned professionals. We were so impressed and delighted!"

“Jess is the one of the best directors I’ve ever worked with. Her grounded leadership, community values, and genuine care for everyone she works with is so authentic and inspiring. I’ve felt myself grow not only as an actor but a person as well. Jess’s vision of inclusivity, way of storytelling, and eye for detail truly are a testament to her talent and working with her has been life changing. ”

— Karima Karkori, Young Conservatory Actor (Hope Green Cast)

“The thing that makes Jessica special to work with is that it’s not just about making theatre, it’s about making a difference. Sure, the artistic element of her work is fantastic, but it’s what you’re left with when you leave the show that makes her work truly special.”

— Marcelo Pereira, Choreographer

“Jessica is the type of director I want to work with and hope to be someday. She is clear, conscise, driven, focused, and honest. She sees the whole picture but still never misses the most intimate detail. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her on this project, and I can only hope we get to again someday.”

— Göran Norquist, MFA Candidate (Cladwell)
