SOMNIA - To Dream in Life
Created to house projects that are motivated by collaboration and improvisation.
PERFORMANCES:
"Dangerous and mind-altering... It is poetic, inspiring and insulting. The greatest show on earth. If you see one show in your entire life, make it Absinthe!”
- Huffington Post
"Joy (Jet Eveleth) masterminds the show and is truly the heart of Absinthe."
- SHOWTICKETS
"Eveleth adopts distinct voices, mannerisms, and attitudes to create characters, at once esoteric and identifiable, that appear to spring from deeply personal takes on humanity."
- Chicago Reader
"Dark and subversive… Eveleth is one of the best actresses to emerge from Chicago comedy's scene in the past decade."
- Chicago Tribune
"Improv superstar"
- Charleston City Paper
"A Comedic Masterpiece"
- Spoleto Today
"Brainy, outrageous and razor-sharp improviser and actor Jet Eveleth"
- Timeout Chicago
“Very funny, with a razor sharp sense of timing.”
- New City
"Intelligent humor that ranges from black to bubble-gum pink."
- Charleston City Paper
“…fine improvisers who patiently find and expose the tension between characters, making them desperate, vulnerable, and hilarious to observe…You really have to hang on to every word--but that's easy to do with Eveleth, whose shape-shifting face is rich with emotion and humor.”
- The Chicago Reader
“Eveleth—with her delicate features and killer timing—is a top dog in comedy. Biting but never cruel, she works the smallest details of her characters; the lady can act the tar out of a scene.”
- New City Magazine
"The redheaded Eveleth exudes a 1950s Life magazine elegance about her. So it can be jarring to watch her perform — debonair one minute, caustic the next, a whirlwind of physical comedy and pretzel contortions."
- Monterey Herald
"Comedy sensation"
- Charleston City Paper
DIRECTING/TEACHING:
"Zen-like insight.”
-Michael Waterson, The Register, Napa CA
"I was stunned by Jet's deep insight into comedy and her approach strongly resonates with my joy of playing. Her work has influenced me for the rest of my life."
-Georg Bauer, Vienna Austria
"Not only is she a brilliant and an absolute guru, but she is also pure joy!"
-Luisa Omielan, London, England
"Bold and wild, she encourages you to go beyond your fears, to dive into the unknown, and to embrace and love the experience, and to be present, to really be in the moment. Not only when improvising but in life."
-Heike Reissig Cologne, Germany
"I felt like I'd moved on a year in just that one week. Mind blowing and weird and freaky and raw and fabulous. She'll leave you gagging for more!"
- Kit Murdock Birmingham, England
"All theater workshops promise the same thing -- to teach the art of being physically and emotionally present. This one delivers."
-Leslie Carson, LA
"She shows you how to make the the stage a place where you can most be you."
-Stephanie Hunger
"Jet is a comedic powerhouse. I can honestly say that I’ve never taken any course that has better shown me what I’m capable of as a comedian and artist."
-Jess Grant, Toronto
