— Metroland "Jaqueline Raposo...possesses an enormous, powerhouse talent. Her bravura, solo performance in Thin Air is at times frightening because it is so real, so honest, so human, and because her pain... is so palpable... " — Independent News "if you could coax a chickadee to act, it would imitate Raposo... Watching the shifts, feints, confessions, longings, fears, wit, triumph, and sheer will of both actress and character as they meld is breathtaking.... 'Funambulate' means 'to dance on a rope', and it is the best way to describe how Raposo creates on a stage". — MetroLand "In the best of the evening... Jacqueline Raposo is excellent... clearly a talent to watch..." — Wilborn Hampton, The New York Times "The strongest piece... Jacqueline M. Raposo delivers warmth, vulnerability, and enormous charisma." — Gwen Orel, Backstage |
