Critical praise for
BLESSING HER HEART:

 

“Jackson's triptych of tenderly-written character studies offers audiences a rare kind of simply staged intimacy that is refreshingly honest and genuinely touching, deriving its dramatic power from its quietest moments of soul searching as well as the strength of her script.”

-George Haymont, My Cultural Landscape

  



Susan Jackson as Marion with "Precious"

"Excels with poignant writing, performances.."
"Playwright Jackson zooms in on the perfect moment in a life to pinpoint and flesh out.  The playlets speak of lifetimes with simple honesty."
"Subtle and poignant"

-Tom W. Kelly, San Francisco Bay Times




Margo Sims as Basil and Adrienne Krug as Annie


 

“Diana Brown, as Red, provides what is arguably the best performance at the FRINGE OF MARIN.”
