Wait Until Dark by Frederick Knott
Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher Fulton Theatre, directed by Andy Kindig “Calhoon is absolutely terrifying as Harry Roat. From the first spine tingling introduction of the character, Roat is quickly established as the leader of these con men. Ruthless and willing to kill or hurt anyone on a dime for what he wants, the character is ultimately the one who brings the horror elements of the play. His heart stopping moments with Fried’s Susan near the conclusion of the play sends chills throughout the audience. The slimy physicality Calhoon gives Roat as he creeps along the stage is frighteningly vivid. The actor completely transforms into this terrifying horror of a man and is absolutely riveting in his portrayal.” -Josh Rittberg, The Snapper "The first-rate cast is a big reason why, and Andrew Kindig’s solid direction and wonderful pacing is another. And the story itself is solidly built, with excellent payoffs and surprises along the way...Calhoon makes Roat utterly nasty in a fun but scary way..." -Jane Halohan, Lancaster Online "This show definitely has moments of high suspense, which were punctuated by a number of gasps from the audience...Wait Until Dark is a great October show full of thrills and chills. It is a lot of fun without being over the top." -Rich Mehrenberg, BroadwayWorld Buzz by Susan Ferrara Alabama Shakespeare Festival, directed by Carrie Preston "In 90-minutes mixing humor with seriousness, Ms. Preston's inventive staging and interpretation of Ms. Ferrara's script can't help but make us all think about the many unrecognized people in our own lives, especially women who in Ms. Preston's words: are 'striving to be seen, to be heard, and to be remembered'." -Michael Howley, Theatre Montgomery The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams
Fulton Theatre, directed by Kevin Earley “Zack Calhoon is a revelation as Tom. Calhoon has a tough task in this role as he is to be simultaneously detached from the memories around him yet while also being engaged and in the moment. The actor captures Tom’s complexity brilliantly. The cynicism the Calhoon exudes in his early monologues to the audience brings them into the action. The character of Tom is the audiences’ window into the family, and Calhoon is an intriguing and at times even heartbreaking guide. For instance, when the character tells his mother that he is going to the movies, it can be inferred through Calhoon’s closed off expression that he is probably not. Calhoon gives this complex character the pathos that Williams’ words deserve and is excellent throughout.” -Josh Rittberg, The Snapper Three Musketeers: 1941
by Megan Monaghan Rivas Project Y Theatre, co-directed by Michole Biancasino & Andrew William Smith "Both Zack Calhoon as Richelieu and Javan Nelson as Rochefort, along with Valentino Musumeci and Cole Merrell, deliver intimidating and fierce performances." - BroadwayWorld.com "The main group of musketeers work off of each other spectacularly. Each providing their own original voice while working together as a cohesive ensemble. It is truly all for one and one for all. Other standout include Zack Calhoon and Javan Nelson as the Nazi soldiers. Both Calhoon and Javan give sinister performances, truly portraying the horrifying nature of these individuals." - Onstage Blog "Calhoon expertly underplays Richelieu's villainy..." - Leah Richards, CultureCatch Dancing Lessons by Mark St. Germain
Kitchen Theatre Company/Geva Theatre Center, directed by Sara Lampert Hoover "St. Germain’s creation of Ever is a dizzying risk: American drama’s first romantic hero with Asperger’s syndrome. Zack Calhoon’s portrayal is a masterwork of authenticity and restraint." - Syracuse New Times “In beautifully matched performances by Rachel Burttram and Zach Calhoon, we meet two strangers, drawn together by coincidence and need…There are no missteps in this 90-minute production. St. Germain creates two separate worlds here, each distinctive and detailed…Their interpersonal dynamics are explored through sublime physical comedy and a growing trust that is warm, vulnerable, intelligent and full of surprises. Tears may flow, because Dancing Lessons is like therapy for the soul; it silently creeps up on you, eliciting laughs even as it touches the heart. I honestly can’t remember being so overwhelmed with happiness and pride for people who I have no actual relationship in real life. But that’s the power of good theater.” - Democrat & Chronicle |

". . . a lot of credit must go to the commanding work of Zack Calhoon in the title role. Along with intelligent and fluid handling of the language, he brings a contemporary freshness to the character. This prince of Denmark is more antic and playful than melancholy, often using full body language to express his frustration and uncertainty." -Ron Cohen, Backstage.com
