Paint night (World Premiere) at the public theatre (Maine)

In this humourous and heartbreaking world premiere, Jessica plays lost soul Lolly Bishop. The stellar all female cast will be tugging at your heartstrings this fall in Lewiston, ME.

“this ensemble of superbly skilled actors conveys the electricity of the intelligent and piercing dialogue that Carey Crim has written. In their hands the conversations are truly authentic.” - Sun Journal

“Mosher’s portrayal of Lolly is…a breath of fresh air." - Sun Journal

“Jessica Mosher…sweetly conveys the youthful Zen state-of-mind so foreign to her elders.” - Broadway World

Murder on the links (World Premiere) by Steven Dietz at North COast Rep and Laguna Playhouse!

Jessica will be starring as Woman 2 in the world premiere of Murder on the Links, an Agatha Christie murder mystery comedy by Steven Dietz. She’ll be in Southern California all spring for the show’s debut at North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach, CA, and its transfer to Laguna Playhouse in Laguna Beach, CA.

“bubbly….fun and well cast.” - San Diego Union Tribune

“(the actors) scintillate with their rapid-fire costume changes, shifts in accents, and comic timing.” - Stage and CInema

“the play is often laugh-out-loud funny…the seriousness with which each cast member performs their respective roles keeps it grounded. Their collective timing is impeccable, appearing and disappearing on cue and working around each other gracefully on the intimate stage.” - LA Theatrix

“…a solid premiere with standout performances and witty humor.” - San Diego Story

“this strong comedic cast…bring(s) a playful zaniness to these fast-paced hijinks. As the plot gets more complicated, the cast and the staging get sillier without sacrificing the mystery.” - Broadway World

“Following Dietz’s script and directorial hand, the entire cast can only said to be brilliant. This is especially true of Erdmann, Mackey, Mosher and Salazar-Thompson, who almost have you believe you’re watching a far more sizable cast.” - Laguna Beach Independent

“Mosher is just as watchable, keeping Poirot and Hastings (and us) guessing, second-guessing and doubting while following the trails of British mystery woman Dulcie Duveen and her sister Bella. Mosher also scores as the lachrymose French maid Leonie, always on the verge of bursting into tears.” - Laguna Beach Independent

“All of the actors are required to be nimble, bold, quick on their feet, adept at multiple accents, and highly skilled at comedy – both verbal and physical.” - The Show Report
