“Noises Off” <\/em>at Arrow Rock Lyceum<\/strong><\/h2>\n
From CHRIS’ CORNER:<\/strong><\/h5>\n

“Jean McCormick is a riot as Dotty Otley.”<\/p>\n

“Beautiful” <\/em>at North Shore Music Theatre<\/strong><\/h2>\n
From METRMAG:<\/strong><\/h5>\n

“Jean McCormick is delightfully funny as King’s overprotective mother Genie Klein, not allowing the character to fall into a stereotypical Jewish mother character.”<\/p>\n

“Nunsense” <\/strong><\/em>at Artistree Music Theater Festival<\/strong><\/h2>\n

From The Vermont Standard:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Jean McCormick was totally engaging as Sister Mary Regina, Mother Superior. Her song “Turn Up The Spotlight” shows her to be a strikingly versatile singer with a beautiful voice and impeccable timing, not to mention a great comedic flair. At the end of the first act she discovers a contraband substance left in a paper bag by one of the high school students and gets hilariously high. Her uninhibited, zany performance is masterfully funny.”<\/p>\n

“Mamma Mia”<\/strong> <\/em>at Northern Stage<\/strong><\/h2>\n

From The Vermont Standard:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Donna’s friends, Tanya and Rosie, played by Susan Haefner and Jean McCormick, respectively, were fun and funny, sang up a storm and danced with style and pizazz.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cGoldilocks\u201d <\/b><\/span><\/em>at Opening Doors Theater Company<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
