“[…]the quietly charismatic Jessica Ranville […] plays her part with such naturalism, such lovely sincerity and simplicity, that she captivates. One can’t look away from her…” - Stage and Cinema
“Ranville […] gives an amazing performance that covers the gamut from raw emotions to intentionally exaggerated bravado to the comedic.” - Theatre is Easy
“Ranville knows this character and understands the material well making for a praise-worthy performance overall. Her chemistry with the ensemble is top-notch and moves the action and story along nicely.” -Backstage Baltimore

This past August, I received a generous opportunity from the IRT over on Christopher Street in the West Village to spend a month developing a new piece of theater. This was a very unique opportunity, given the current state of theater spaces… So the task was so spend the month of September working, once again, in the space. I assembled an amazing team of collaborators and neighbours: John Robert Hurley, Haruna Lee and Paul Lieber.
This residency comes with many firsts: the first time I shared my own writing, the first time I performed solo, and the first time I created a piece of original theater in the midst of a global pandemic!
