"Jessica Boone as Rosalind and Ganymede pretty much steals the stage when she is on it. Ms. Boone is clearly headed for greatness and you must see her beautiful work in As You Like It if only to say many years hence, 'I saw her in As You Like It as the best Rosalind I have ever seen.'"
- Buzz Belmont, Houston Chronicle Online Critic

"Rosalind/Ganymede deserves a special mention for being incredibly well-played by Jessica Boone who can not only act but is also very pretty and has a striking voice as well." - Czechingin blog

Cymbeline
"Jessica Boone Delivers a Charmed Performance in Cymbeline...The central plot focuses on the good and fair Imogen (played by an exquisite Jessica Boone), who some say is Shakespeare's most perfect heroine...none of these supporting characters could save a show that did not have at its center a lovely and formidable Imogen. Happily, Jessica Boone delivers a charmed performance."
