Work published in Smith & Krause's "Audition Arsenal for Women", Fall 2005. "It's not easy to play farce and not overact, but "Gemini's" best performance comes from Jennie Staniloff as Lucille Pompi, the mousy girlfriend of Francis Geminiani, Sr. At the play's famous dinner scene - where Lucille insists she's not hungry ("I'll just pick") - director Anthony DeVito has created a slapstick tableau worthy of Laurel and Hardy, and it's Staniloff's furtive glances at the full plates of her tablemates that makes it work. By quietly underplaying her part, Staniloff makes Lucille the most believable, and warmest of the play's characters." Jim Testa, Review of GEMINI, The Hoboken Reporter "Jennie Staniloff, the cutesy-pie Maid provides the most genuine treat of the evening with her wry comments on accepted social mores."
