Back of the Throat, Bartlett
The Flea Theater
“The genteel Bartlett [is] played by Jason Guy, whose clipped calm recalls Liev Schreiber’s.”
[Alan Felderman, TimeOutNY]
“Guy, in particular, makes his mincing gumshoe an oddly compelling, nuanced heavy.”
[Rob Kendt, Newsday]
“The appropriately nauseating Jason Guy [is] disturbing, discomfiting, and strangely funny.”
[Sean O'Donnell, Show Business Weekly]
Turn of the Screw, The Man
Tri-State Actors Theater
“As everybody else, Jason Guy gives a tour-de-force performance: coolly commanding as the seductive Uncle, twisted and cackling as the housemaid, and bouncing up and down as the rambunctious Miles. Guy has a dancer's grace and a gymnast's energy as he rapidly moves from role to role, hardly pausing as he builds the tension to an unimaginable climax.”
[John Totter, The Times Herald-Record]
A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Puck
Stonington Opera House
“It is through Guy’s menacing performance that [the Director’s] dark vision is most realized.”
[Judy Harrison, Bangor Daily News]
The 39 Steps, Clown
TheatreSquared
“Jason Guy switches gender and age at will in a tour-de-force performance that steals the show.”
[Tobias Wray, The Fayetteville Flyer]
Comedy of Errors, Dromio, both
The Hamptons Shakespeare Festival
“Jason Guy proves an Olympian of dexterity and achieves a masterwork of Marxian slapstick.”
[Steve Parks, Newsday]
“Guy is no mere mortal, but a Shakespearean clown of the highest order, and the funniest this reviewer has seen. It is a hysterical accomplishment.”
[Lee Davis, The South Hampton Press]
Noises Off, Lloyd Dallas
Tent Theatre
“As wittily played by Guy, Lloyd is an appealing blend of arrogance, charm, and pragmatism.”
[Larry Collins, The News Leader]
Picnic on the Battlefield, Father
The Chocolate Factory
“Guy’s excellent work grounds the piece: delightfully incongruous and particularly wonderful.”
[Martin Denton, NYTheatre.com]
Taming of the Shrew, Hortensio
American Shakespeare Center’s Blackfriars Playhouse
“And perhaps funniest of all, in a performance you have to see to believe, Jason Guy as Hortensio.”
[Charles Culbertson, The News Leader]
Henry V, Chorus
Arkansas Rep
"Jason Guy’s Chorus perfectly engendered the beauty of the text [with] ease and familiarity."
[Aaron Sarlo, Arkansas Times]
