Overview

“The best comment Jackie Skinner ever got after a performance sounded like an insult. ‘There’s something wrong with you,’ a woman told her…” – The Boston Globe, May 2025

“I didn’t know if half of what was happening was supposed to be happening? Jackie Skinner is either really good…or REALLY bad.” – Audience member, August 2024
