BOB LEGGETT certified reviewer June 15, 2018
This just might be one of this year’s hidden gems. Both actors delivered sparkling performances, and the chemistry between them was very real. ... full review

Not only does this play wrestle with some very important questions in our modern zeitgeist, but the escalation of conflict is masterful - just when I thought the play was easing up, it would twist the knife a little harder. Made me uncomfortable in a good good way.... full review

Playwright Jim Vejvoda tackles a numerous amount of topical trigger points in 30 minutes. Intellectually stimulating and emotionally gripping, Skin Jobs raises questions on artistic integrity, ethical journalism, and the bonds of friendship. What do you do when both sides of the racial/gender diversity arguement that permeates Hollywood in 2018 are both simultaneously right and wrong? The performances highlight the author's words with ease. And we are left with a feeling that reflects modern sentiment: it's a fucked up industry...but what are you going to do?... full review

SOO CHYUN certified reviewer June 20, 2018
Brilliant writing. It touches on the subject of controversial issues and the effects it places on the actors involved in it. The portrayal of the two friends' conflict was so real. Skinjob delicately addresses differing viewpoints through both characters while taking the biases of social status in mind. Kerri and Viv are right in ways while also wrong in others too. The writers spared no expense on this 30-minute show through a rich narrative. I enjoyed every second of it. ... full review

As someone who works in Hollywood, this play really struck a chord. I think it touches on things that so many of us struggle with. In an industry that is built on fantasy, how do you address the very real concerns of whitewashing and misogyny? ... full review

I loved this one act play! Wished it was longer. I would recommend it to all going to Fringe. ... full review
