Jerz floats, whirls, and glides across the stage. She’s delightful and believable in her role. Her presence on stage brings lightness and spreads joy. —Burgh Vivant…

Dressed in bright colors and elaborately coiffed, with her face made up so pale white that it glows (think Björk meets Catherine O’Hara in Beetlejuice), Jerz imbues the role of spiritualist and yoga enthusiast Marigold with an outsider energy that is otherworldly, larger than life,…
