MARCH 2022
The audio drama podcast of March just launched on virtually all major podcast channels, including Apple, Amazon, Spotify and Google.
Based on a theatrical play of the same name, MARCH was written by Jim Gabbe and is presented by CITIZENARTS, a nonprofit creator and presenter of dramatic and documentary work.
MARCH recounts a soiree held in Berlin in 1921 – historically documented – and introduces an individual who came to embody evil and darkness. How this unknown man of humble origins could seduce and lead one of Europe’s most sophisticated societies – and ultimately the world – into unparalleled horrors provides lessons from the past that echo through our modern global political environment.

Playing Catherine in Hudson Stage Company’s production of Proof March 29th - April 13th
“The quartet of actors here is terrific both individually and as a well-tuned, harmonious unit...As Catherine, the play’s center of gravity (in more ways than one), Jenna Krasowski gives a beautifully-modulated, achingly authentic performance. We cannot help but empathize with the tart-tongued but vulnerable young woman who’s sure of her talent, less sure of her equilibrium, and flat-out unsure of her future.”
“Catherine [is] played by Jenna Krasowski in a finely nuanced performance with sharp cue pickups...”
“Jenna Krasowski plays the challenging role of Catherine and is brilliant in bringing out the internal crisis of the character.”

-----Eyes to the Skies-----2018
NOVEMBER
A collection of reviews from our production of Black Tom Island at Premiere Stages last month:
“A one-act play spread over two tense scenes, “Black Tom Island” finds its energy in the competing drives of its characters. Krasowski’s Ewa is resolute in her immigrant ethic of hard work and fortitude...Throughout the play, Wooten and his cast consistently ratchet up the pressure on these four lives, whose options for easy resolution steadily dwindle.”
“To say that the cast is outstanding would be an understatement. The four actors master Martin Casella’s finely crafted dialogue. They include Mason Hensley as Martin Babek; Jenna Krasowski as Ewa Babek; Damian Buzzerio as Father Oskar Prosco; and Bart Shatto as Tim McMillan. The characters of Martin, Ewa, and Father Prosco speak both in English and their native language, yet the interchanges flow seamlessly. The show’s emotionally charged scenes are impeccably portrayed by this very talented troupe.”
“The cast does an outstanding job of creating characters who will also remain with you. Mason Hensley and Jenna Krasowski play the immigrant couple, Martin and Ewa Babek with great passion.”

MARCH 22ND - APRIL 30TH 2018
Ms. Estrada at the new Flea Theater on 20 Thomas St!
“Elizabeth Estrada (Malena Pennycook) is a new arrival at Acropolis U, but she’s ready to shake things up. While taking a women’s studies course taught by Ms. Spencer (a Tina Fey-ish Jenna Krasowski), she comes to the conclusion that the Greek Games are problematic...”
”Flawless diction from the company facilitates our understanding, and since most of the Bats are fresh out of college, there’s an authenticity to the piece.”
“Jenna Krasowski and Ben Schrager also stand out as the adults who don’t have all the answers.”
“This time out, Malena Pennycook makes a strong impression in the title role, as does Jenna Krasowski as the professor who reveres the great Kate.”
“Jenna Krasowski’s Ms. Spencer is an icon much in the way that Tina Fey’s Ms. Norbury was in the film of Mean Girls.”
“...Jenna Krasowski’s strong, snarky Ms. Spencer.”
