DEATHTRAP Myra Bruhl- Maltz-Jupiter Theatre, Jupiter, FL
"The Jupiter revival is just about as crackerjack as Deathtrap can get. In fact, it's got a meaner streak than most..... Jessica K Peterson as the writer's devoted but fearful wife does much to enhance Thomasson's heartlessness; she flutters nervously at the edges of his ambition.........And what would a thriller be without a woman's shriek, effectively placed by Peterson?"
Jack Zink, Sun Sentinel
".... Myra, played by the equally excellent Jessica K. Peterson......."
Megan Kenny, TCPalm Entertainment
A VERY OLD MAN WITH ENORMOUS WINGS Dona Galante/Narrator- The Hippodrome State Theatre,
Gainesville, FL
"Jessica Peterson carries the narrative handily as the Woman in a Shawl....."
Arline Greer, The Gainesville Sun
HARRY & THELMA IN THE WOODS Thelma- Hollywood Playhouse, Hollywood, FL
"Multiple Carbonell nominee Peterson breathes life into a two-dimensional character and she has real chemistry with the so-annoying-he's appealing Laks."
Paul Gallotta, City Link
"But the inventiveness of director Andy Rogow and all-stops-out performances by Jessica K Peterson and Bruce Laks invest these struggles and this world premiere with both slapstick comedy and deadly earnestness. What keeps the audience chuckling are two solid actors....."
Bill Hirschman, Sun-Sentinel
"Then it casts multiple Carbonell nominee and well-known South Florida actress Jessica Peterson to play the lead female role of Thelma, a woman whose determination to be with the man she loves is a plum role for this versatile actress. Director Andy Rogow has selected a wonderful cast..."
Marta Barber, The Miami Herald
THE ACCOMPLICES laura Houghteling/Theresa- Gable Stage, FL
"...Laura Houghteling (Jessica K. Peterson who, as does Legette, makes the most of a villainous role)...."
Christine Dolan, Miami Herald
"Peterson, the only newcomer to the cast, is a natural comedian who gives Sylvia extra zing this time around. She and Haig shift between near-tragedy and near-farce with finesse."
Jack ZInk The Sun-Sentinel
"Jessica K. Peterson, the tolerant, but unhappy wife is comedically excellent in proving she'll fight her competition, even if she is only a dog."
Al Price, Palm Beach Jewish Journal South
SPOKESONG Daisy Bell- Theatre Gael, Atlanta, GA
" Stephens elicits a number of excellent supporting performances that succees in lending a personal dimension to the play's disillusioned romanticism.
Jessica K. Peterson, Charles Horton and Lorna Howley stand out among the cast of Theatre Gael's Spokesong, directed by John Stephens..."
Bert Osborne, Creative Loafing
"Frank seeks similar strength from school teacher Daisy, (wry, intelligent newcomer Jessica Peterson.)"
SYLVIA Kate- Caldwell Theatre Company, Boca Raton, FL and Actor's Playhouse, Coral Gables, FL
"Infrequently revived... the Maltz-Jupiter Theare shows us how it should be done, with a deft production that is
likely to unnerve and amuse all comers, even those who already know the play's many hairpin turns... a first-
rate cast under the precision direction of J Barry Lewis.... Jessica K. Peterson is all raw nerves as
Sidney's apprehensive wealthy wife..."
Hap Erstein, The Palm Beach Post
SUMMER SHORTS-10th Anniversary Various- City Theatre, Coral Gables, FL
Carbonnell Nomination for Best Ensemble
"...beautifully acted...richly varied, smart moving performances from the festival's 10 actors. The
powerful company ... Carbonell winners Jessica K Peterson and.... is among the best in City's
history. David Valdes Greenwood's Dream of Jeannie-by-the-Door is a funny/crass piece about
a crazed bride and groom... who go nuts when their ritualistic slot machine play is interrupted
- repeatedly- by a chatty old dame (Peterson)."
Christine Dolen/Miami Herald
"...Jessica K. Peterson is a standout among the ensemble, notably as a slot-machine regular
at a casino, watching an increasingly desperate pair of newleyweds testing their luck."
Hap Erstein/Palm Beach Post
"...The cast is a strong, multitalented group of 10 performers... David Valdes Greenwood s opener,
Dream of Jeannie-by-the-Door, is a hilarious episode in a Las Vegas Casino...... and Jessica K.
Peterson is a ditzy busybody."
