Dear Harvey by Patricia Loughrey New York Int'l Fringe Festival Outstanding Ensemble Acting Award Anne Kronenberg (Jacqueline Sydney), Milk’s final campaign manager; . . . Dottie Wine (Sydney), . . . all perform with the same positive energy and gusto that characterized Milk himself; as an audience member, you may find yourself holding back from jumping up and breaking into applause (Jedcentral.com) Standouts were Jacqueline Sydney as Anne Kronenberg, Harvey's campaign manager . . . (Q on Stage) Unembalmed by Joe Byers Sydney, as the grieving mother, is remarkable. She effortlessly cycles through the disjointed pain and anger that Mrs. Dockery feels. (Byrne Harrison) The script has a lot of emotional honesty, and the cast is up to the challenge, especially Sydney, who quivers with frightening intensity. (broadwayworld.com) |
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Gynecologic Oncology Unit at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center of New York City
By Halley Feiffer MCC Theater - Directed by Trip Cullman Broadway World Interview with Jacqueline Sydney www.broadwayworld.com/article/BWW-Interview-Jacqueline-Sydney-Discusses-Her-Unique-Role-in-A-FUNNY-THING-The-Phenomenal-Cast-and-Much-More-20160630 Ms. Sydney . . . in Geena’s fleeting moments of consciousness, she delivers. (Ben Brantley, The New York Times) Sydney was incredible. Geena is at the place where cancer makes speech difficult, but Sydney makes the character a fully participating piece of the ensemble. We know she is listening and we know what she is feeling I found myself often checking in to see what Geena was doing because it felt like a part of the journey not to be missed. (Margret Echeverria, Front Row Center) Sydney deserves an award for simple, mute endurance, as well her inevitably show-stealing interjections. (Tim Teeman, The Daily Beast) Sydney, for her part, is tasked primarily with reacting and not reacting through a combination of blinks, head turns, and sheet shuffles—and they're just about all mesmerizing. Not because she's doing anything special, but because she isn't: Her Geena is simply living (or rather dying). . . Sydney is so successful. (Matthew Murray, Talkin’ Broadway) |

The Family Room by Aron Coleite
directed by Gwenyth Reitz Jacqueline Sydney's Dr. Durant is a tough, leathery personality, with a beautiful, subtle vulnerability always bubbling just beneath the surface. (nytheatre.com) Machinal by Sophie Treadwell Synapse Theatre Company Though Jacqueline Sydney is featured only in one scene (as Helen’s mother), she makes an unmistakable impression, and seems capable of aging decades just by the way she stands in the light or turns her head, making her all the more startling and unrecognizable when she appears later as other characters.
