SMARTPHONES 
​
trapdoor theatre company


Jodi Kingsley steals the show as Chantal,
with a performance that sneaks up on you like overage charges at the end of the month.
Her comic timing is smarter than the smartest smartphone and her delivery is nothing 
short of cheeky brilliance. She completely inhabits ​the satire and delivers it with a
​custom ring tone of hilarity

​Chicago Stage Review

Jodi Kingsley easily stands out as the most compelling of the group. She manages to humanize an absurdist character, and once you’ve seen that, you start to think that all absurdist comedies might be improved by such a performance

Centerstage Chicago
​

The whole cast is superb and wholly committed, without exception.
Kingsley’s deliciously pompous,
judgmental snarkiness ​could
singlehandedly drive the show

Jodi Kingsley, so excellent in “In A Little World of Our Own,” truly shows Chicago audiences the vast scope of her talent
Chicago Theatre Review

Kingsley’s face radiates with joy... a strong contrast to her palpable anguish in the present. Kingsley pulls us into her despair so completely I get teary

In almost all of her scenes, Susan demands accountability...and Kingsley captures the intensity of her loss and frustration every time.

Diane is wonderfully played by Jodi Kingsley
