Rhode Island PBS - 2025
Rhode Island PBS followed Jess behind the scenes of Amadeus for their Art Inc. series — documenting her process from hand-drawn sketches to a fully realized 18th-century Vienna. The result became the highest-grossing production in The Gamm's 40-year history.
PRESS & REVIEWS
What critics are saying
Jessica Hill Kidd's cluttered set displays a once-fashionable 1950s living room that purposefully seems out of date — its busy wallpaper, mismatched dark wood furnishings, and lack of windows creates a palpable sense of confinement and oppression, which is exactly what this play calls for.
THE BOSTON GLOBE
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, 2024
Jessica Hill Kidd's scenic design consists of a 12-by-12-foot platform that appears, thanks to surrounding pitch darkness, to be suspended a few feet above the floor — creating an engaging theatrical intimacy that defines the production.
THE BOSTON GLOBE
Girls & Boys, 2025
Jessica Hill Kidd's gorgeous set design transports us to 1823 — the costumes are as opulent as you'd imagine.
EDGE MEDIA NETWORK
Amadeus, 2024
The set design by Jessica Hill Kidd perfectly encapsulates the feeling of a well-worn local bar, which is on the same level as the first row of the audience, inviting us into the action on-stage.
