Interview: Milwaukee Independent (February 2019)
Medea (Voices Found Repertory)
A Top 5 Drama of 2018 - Wisconsin Theater Spotlight
"Under the steady direction of Jennifer Vosters, this production takes a naturalistic and very effective direction. Vosters has adapted the 2500-year-old dialog...to sculpt a spare, 75-minute drama that plays out with all the tension and verisimilitude of a contemporary podcast, with moments of magic and moments of comic relief. [...] A respectful, simple, yet fresh and vital presentation, demonstrating that the classic play still has things to show us, even after two and a half millennia."
-Jeff Grygny, Play On Milwaukee
"Director Jennifer Vosters brings a very vividly visceral production of the ancient tragedy to the stage of the Underground Collaborative's Arcade Theatre. Vosters' adaptation for the stage is a harrowingly tight 75 minutes without intermission. It's a short, brutal staging that announces itself immediately and wastes little time in reaching its bloody conclusion."
-Russ Bickerstaff, The Small Stage
"Friday night's performance, clocking in at just 75 minutes and featuring a small cast of 10, was captivating. [...] The play is undeniably powerful - and violent."
-Catherine Jozwik, Wisconsin Theater Spotlight
"As the lights dim, the room is silent and there is a chill in the air. It would be best to sleep with a light on after watching director Jennifer Vosters' tense adaptation."
-Parker Thompson, Shepherd Express
Macbeth (Lyric Repertory Company)
"Coming in at honorable mention in a short, pungent scene, the two murderers hired by Macbeth, Jennifer Vosters and Morgen Kerian, captured a dark, palpably decadent humor I'd never seen before. Their shuffling and their heavy-lidded, side-long peering insinuates lifetimes of grasping fumbles. They are Macbeth's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and deserve a Tom Stoppard treatment of their own."
-Joel Applegate, Front Row Reviewers Utah
Richard III (Voices Found Repertory)
"This Richard, played by Jennifer Vosters, is unlike most of the Richards I've seen in my life, and it has little to do with the fact that Vosters is a woman playing a man. [...] Heading the joyful experience is Vosters, [...who] mixes her climb to the top with brute force and charismatic double-dealing. The scene of her seduction of Anne, who will become Richard's wife, is rife with both sexual tension and danger. [...] Vosters delivers a king who is both duplicitous and yet troubled by his lack of a conscience. With a roll of the eyes or a sideways glance at a foe she takes advantage of the space with small moments. It's a delightful performance."
-Dave Begel, OnMilwaukee
"Jennifer Vosters is an attractive young woman who holds a slight contortion in her left limbs in the role of the sinister Richard III. There's a dizzyingly dark charisma in her malice. [...] Her handling of the role is a pleasant contrast to the traditional interpretations of the character. [...] Vosters' appearance here is a refreshing portrayal of the villain as a perfectly capable young woman of remarkably seductive beauty who openly embraces her minor flaws with dismissive affection. [...] It's a very, very fun performance that casts the character in a far more fascinating light than he is often allowed. Congratulations to Vosters for playing a deeper kind of emotional ugliness that can lurk behind physical beauty."
