"Susan and i both said that today was the BEST memory cafe program we've attended. We hope Jen will be back often. Seemed as others there were enjoying it as well and preferred to continue versus playing bingo for prizes. Hope we will see Jen more often." - - Caretaker of Participant, Memory Café at Jewish Family and Children's Services, April 2025.
"Jen Scott directs with a sincere yet playful tone, and a little bit of "we're putting on a show!" energy." - Cherry & Spoon, November 2023.
"I just wanted to send a huge thank you to you and Jen and all the volunteers for yesterday's Memory Cafe. My mom has a lot of social anxiety issues but you all made her come out of her shell and she had such a wonderful time. Jen is a natural at what she does, so kind and patient and I would luv to see more of her sessions. Getting my mom out of the house and talking with others is so important and you all have gone above and beyond. Thank you." - Caretaker of Participant, Memory Café at Jewish Family and Children's Services, October 2023.
"Residents enoyed talking about places they used to spend time. They made lots of connections with one another as they reminisced about particularly about St Paul and the local area years ago." - Staff with Episcopal Church Home, Spring 2024
"Clients’ were always eager to share their pieces because of the judgment free zone that Jen created. There was one time that a client came to her after the group and wanted to share with her a piece that they created on their free time." - Staff with Tasks Unlimited, Summer 2024.
"I know with the artist Jen Scott - our residents enjoyed the memoir writing class so much, that after the final session, they started their own memoir writing group that is now held weekly. They were empowered to share their stories and to continue building the skills they learned working with Jen. They have stepped out of their comfort zone, and tried learning new things, thanks to our different artists. They continue to ask when the next artist will come into our facility, because they have truly enjoyed every moment of learning something new and they are being able to build these new connections with others that has been hard for some of our residents to do, post pandemic." - Haley with Walker Methodist Highview Hills, 2023
"Jen is SUCH A MAGNIFICENT IMPROV TEACHER! She got a big group working together and having real fun while regularly connecting everything we did to performance, to self development and to other improv teachers’ books and thoughts. So kind and self effacing too. Roxanne said ‘easily the best guest teacher she’s had’. Thank you for booking her. X" - Harry at YesAndAlso Improv Drop-In, Brighton UK, 2023.
"Jen brought a load of enthusiasm and a flexible structure to our one hour online program. She assisted with accessing tech options for the group to expand their scope while we were reminiscing about topics and discussing memoir. One of my participants said, "This is the best one yet, simply great." The use of music and having Jen pull up songs and keep the energy in the conversation made our program a true success." - Heidi with Family Means, 2022

"Shoutout to Nudge for a beautiful set this weekend. It was funny and charming and also worked through hard emotions to a real climax. There were plenty of laughs, and also moments when the audience was absolutely silent, just listening and being in communion with these characters. Thank you [...] for reminding us that improv can be this, too." - Audience member, July 2022
