What Critics are saying about Deborah Jean Templin
“Florence Foster Jenkins, in a mesmerizing portrayal by Deborah Jean Templin sure to be on every critic's year-end "best actor" list, is a New York socialite living off an enormous trust fund. (It was left to her by her father, who disapproved of her musical aspirations.) Foster Jenkins loved singing, and her head was abuzz with music 24 hours a day.”
“Templin does a wonderfully inventive comic turn in the second act, playing a number of historic opera leading ladies with amazingly quick dressing and comic timing. She makes it easy to see what the real Foster Jenkins must have been all about, to get a sense of what the original was like.”
Charles Konde
Indenews.com The Independent online
“The play survives or falls on the audience's affection for Foster Jenkins. At Stageworks, Deborah Jean Templin wisely avoids all opportunities to spoof the woman and, because she respects the character, the audience cares about her too. Templin nicely under plays the role so that we see the woman's dreams as much as we see the woman. ”
Bob Goepfert,
The Record
“Templin is a truly captivating performer. She acts Jenkins, a lady of refined sensibilities, with heart-whole, and sometimes heart-breaking, sincerity and all the confidence of someone who believes everything she says about herself; she calls herself “the true coloratura.” The audience is rooting for her from the start."
