As numerous characters in my one-man show version of "Bigfoot Stole My Wife"
“One of 8 Shows to Catch (out of 130!) at the 2018 United Solo Festival...be on the lookout for future performances.”
-- Playbill
“An entertaining and ultimately sweet blending of three narratives...told simply and cleanly.”
-- A Work Unfinishing
“I trust Alan. I feel his pain...a profound actor, he's extremely good.”
-- About Solo
As Rick in my one-act version of "Bigfoot Stole My Wife"
"I so enjoyed the wonders of your work on Bigfoot; it was soaring...My god you guys did a wicked good job on all of the pieces! I had a great time and I appreciate all of your brilliant work...This production was delicious!"
--Ron Carlson, award-winning author of the 8 stories upon which "Bigfoot Stole My Wife" is based
As Creon in "The People Vs Antigone"
“The cast really does a wonderful job bringing Antigone’s tragic story to the stage in a whole new light…Altschuler’s refusal to change his view as he navigates through an almost separate set of characters himself, was very impressive.”
-- Broadway World
As Polonius in Shakespeare's "Hamlet"
"Alan
Altschuler, notable as Polonius, portrayed his character
as a three-dimensional
person and not the stereotypical loquacious
accomplice..."
-- Close Encounters of the Theatrical
Kind
As Baylor in Sam Shepard's "A Lie of the Mind"
"Alan Altschuler, who plays Baylor, Beth's crude father, is menacing and commanding."
-- Theater That Matters
"A strong cast of dedicated actors who work hard to bring this emotional piece to life...Baylor (Alan Altschuler) plays a significant role as he would rather worry about business than his sick daughter."
"This is one of the largest and, across the board, strongest casts The Seeing Place has ever had in one of the company's productions...In particular, Altschuler...One great example is Altschuler's body language - not only do his words express that Baylor doesn't care much about his daughter's fragile condition, but just the way he carries himself shows his total apathy."
As Oberon in Shakespeare's "A
Midsummer Night's Dream"
" Alan
Altschuler...a standout...as Oberon, king of the fairies,
who towers over the action."
-- New York Theater Buying Guide
As Player and the Player
King in an all-star reading of "Hamlet"
" Alan Altschuler in an impressive
reading." --
Short and Sweet
As Alexander Serebryakov in Chekhov's "Uncle
Vanya"
" Altschuler owns his part
as the aristocratic spoiled Alexander. A good hearty laugh
is in store at the end of the play, when he urges everyone
everyone else to work harder." --
The Fab Marquee
As Pastor Manders in Ibsen's "Ghosts"
" Alan Altschuler fared well
in this role as Pastor Manders. His naturalism in the role
and ease with the environment made the pivotal arguments
between his character and Mrs. Alving come to life." --
