Quotable

"Ms. Jung's performance that evening was absolutely superb. Our guests were thrilled and delighted with her dazzling portrayal of Catherine de Medicis, whom she seemingly brought back to life for a brief interlude. Ms. Jung clearly possesses extraordinary talent and her enchanting, spirited performance greatly enhanced and complemented the charming ambience of the evening."

Francois Bujon de l'Estang, Ambassador of France to the United States

"Mary Ann's portrayal of Rosie the Riveter was "gosh darn" perfect. From costume and character to well-researched stories, she captured the essence of life in the factory, difficulties at home, and even the impact of politics and public opinion during World War II. Her performance takes living history to new heights. An unforgettable and educational experience!"

Dik Daso, Curator, National Air and SpaceMuseum, Washington, DC

"Brava! [Mary Ann Jung] charmed all persons who came near on the occasion of Sir Wm Shakespeare's installation into ye College of The Fellowes of ye American Theatre."

Donn Murphy, National Theatre, Washington, DC

• "Mary Ann rocks"

Judy D. Dobbs, Maryland Humanities Council

"I just wanted to drop a short note to let you know how very much I enjoyed your magnificent portrayal of Elizabeth I... Your rich interpretation with its wonderful grasp of the language and culture of Tudor England served them well. You present a most believable, impressive, and appealing queen, one surely worthy of her own words:

I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and a king of England too!"

H. William DeWeese, Minority Leader, House of Representatives, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

"Mary Ann Jung is a Maryland treasure! She gave a truly outstanding performance. Long may you continue to perform and educate."

Kandy Hutman, Continuing Education Program Director, Jewish Community Center of Greater Washington
