Review Selections:
The Foreigner
"An absolutely droll Graves is the linchpin around whom everything revolves, and he is an adorable delight from start to finish."-Stage Scene LA, Steven Stanley
‘"The Foreigner’ named Charlie is fantastically played by Brian Graves. Let me just say that as the ‘fish out of water’ in this play, (a real foreigner who is shy and introverted and forced to stay in a backwoods Georgia ‘bed and breakfast’ of 1984), just watching Brian’s comic timing, elastic physicality and creative gibberish made me feel like I was watching a wonderful classic comic actor of the 50s and 60s era. Not far from the physical antics of the original Dick Van Dyke TV series where slapstick, story and incredible characterization with the performers' talents that I now saw in front of me live on stage, that’s exactly what Brian did for this show. His character is charming, innocent, morally concerned, helpful, hysterical and quick on his feet to deliver some of the best characterizations I have seen in a long time! I just could not stop laughing. Bravo Brian for a wonderful transformation of your character from beginning to end!"
-NoHo Arts District, Lorenzo Marchessi
"Graves makes Charlie sparkle. At one moment he is inquisitively passive and the next a flamboyant storyteller who is savoring every moment of his campy odyssey."
-Broadway World, Don Grigwire
Betrayal
"...Brian Graves effortlessly dominates the stage as Robert..."
-Broadway World, Gil Kaan
The Importance of Being Earnest
“Brian Graves’ character, Algernon Moncrieff - Worthington’s friend in town and cousin to Gwendolen - though not the main character, arguably demanded the most attention. This was due in part to the flamboyant nature of the character, as well as Graves fully embodying the rich playboy and pulling off in comedic glory the nonchalant persona of Moncrieff.
-The Roundup, Audra Greco
I’m Not Rappaport
“And Brian Graves as a young man operating a small-time protection racket is as sinister and impervious as can be; you’d have a lot better luck reasoning with a park bench.
-The Sarasota Weekly Planet, Mark E. Leib
