"Jessica De Maria, who played the accordion and a variety of percussion instruments among other acting roles, exuded a contagious energy. She exemplified the tone of each scene as she invested her whole body in each individual moment of the performance."- Joel Lerner, The Emory Wheel
“It’s a show-stopping moment for Ms. De Maria, whose flawless, finely calibrated performance all evening almost steals the show.”- Manning Harris, Atlanta InTown Paper
"Of all the performers, especially noteworthy are De Maria, warm and confused at a turning point her life; Newberg’s precocious Jason; and Harris’ Whizzer, who isn’t one for monogamy and the domesticity Marvin wants, but doesn’t come across as a complete cad either."-Jim Farmer ArtsATL
"Jessica De Maria delivers a powerful performance which reveals the complexity of a woman who is willing to sacrifice her happiness for the good of her family."-Jody Key, Speakeysie Entertainment Review and Promotion
"Jessica de Maria is an engaging Trina (Marvin's wife), making her sympathetic and marvelously neurotic -- her "I'm Breaking Down," is a musical and comic highlight of her performance."-Brad Rudy, Atlanta Theatre Buzz
"Another standout is Jessica De Maria as Trina. Listen to me when I say she is SINGING. Jessica is using her ENTIRE range for this role, from the chest, to the mix, and straight to the head voice and doing it all seamlessly. I’ve never seen anyone be so vocally full and present as she is."-Marshall Mabry, MWMIV Speaks

"Another girlfriend, Lucy (Jessica De Maria) arrives. ...It’s been said that “Threepenny” can’t be done with pure singers, nor with pure actors. Each role calls for specific qualities, and the 7 Stages cast shines like a black diamond. Every person I’ve mentioned is outstanding, I love it when Jessica De Maria seductively waltzes into the audience as she sings; this show, you see, is all about seduction."-Manning Harris, Atlanta InTown Paper
Jessica De Maria brings a warmth and easy power to her vocals that make her delight to listen to."-Manning Harris, Atlanta InTown Paper
