Reviews

What makes Ceciley so special is her fearlessness. She brings her own experience and life force to roles. Her performances are very physical, surprising and honest, with reactions both explosive and real. She is truly capable of many styles of acting, as evidenced by her definitive Juliet (which toured Canada), her Commeddia work with The Actor’s Gang and her naturalism in contemporary film and television projects. I personally feel honored to work with her.”
-Erica Zonder, Messina*Baker
“Ceciley Jenkins is a singular talent. She can be funny, heart-breaking, strong, and vulnerable - whatever the part needs. I've seen her in countless productions, and all I can say is that when you watch Ceciley Jenkins, you can't help but notice that you're witnessing what true acting really is. She's that good.“
-Stephen Chbosky,writer, producer, director
"Ceciley kicks ass. She shows up prepared, works hard, and does great  work. We were very lucky to find her."
-John Dowdle, Director
"Ceciley is the type of actress that every director should have the great fortune to work with. She gives such a sense of life and visceral specificity to her work that the viewer feels almost certain he knows what her character will be doing later that night, tomorrow, or a week from then. As Ceciley's director, I learned all I had to do was set boundaries and limitations and watch how those challenged her to be even more creative and available. She has the ability to make any character sympathetic. From a pampered nervous society girl to a street tough ballsy fuck-up, she always shows us their humanity. We will learn much from Ceciley Jenkins."
-Meg Wolf, director, producer, Twentysomething Showcase
“...Jenkins successfully captures the anxiety and energy of a scared young woman, who possesses a cold, depraved streak underneath...there is great edginess in the conflicted, contradictory character.”
-The Tolucan Times
“...the chemistry between these two is captivating...Juliet in Jenkins’ hands is innocent, wise, petulant, haunted and utterly charming...Jenkins is a powerhouse.”
-Eye Magazine
“Ceciley Jenkins makes Diana a sexy love object...”
-Toronto Star
“...the play features ‘Ophelia’, (the doll-like beauty Ceciley Jenkins)...she unravels tragically while simultaneously pulling at our heartstrings...”
-Eye Mag.
“...the young Ceciley Jenkins does an excellent job creating a chaste, innocent Cecile, until a tellingly saucy encounter with the voracious Valmont...”
-G.R. Press
"Her face is so expressive that she doesn't need words. Like a silent film star, Ceciley is able to convey everything with those remarkable eyes. It's ironic, then, that Ceciley has such a talent for text: she  has a tremendous gift for both accents and verse, and a silky, versatile speaking voice. Plus, her jugs are like a coupla cupcakes. I mean, SERIOUSLY."
-Stacy Chbsoky, Actor, Writer & Comedienne Extraordinaire
