SEAL SONGS 
Two tales of love lost and found by the English seaside.

“…Atcheson is mesmerizing and Green is an ideal straight man ... Both plays are a delight to watch and Atcheson and Green, along with direction by MacGowan, create such a wonderful sense of time and place that you can almost hear the seagulls and smell the salty sea air.”
- Andrea M. Meek – Showbusiness Weekly

"… genuine emotional content … adorable and heartbreaking … It is a joy to watch. … the audience leaves smiling and even a little misty.” 
- David Vining –
nytheatre.com

“… from the mundane to the fantastic … Katie Atcheson and Richard Kent Green are charming and engaging …"
-
Kessa De Santis – electroniclink.com

“ Green is appealingly rustic, with just a dash of goodhearted cluelessness …”
-
Matthew Murray, Talkin’Broadway.com

"Richard Kent Green inhabits the character of the shy workman who loves music— he IS the man … Green is totally convincing in his characterization, and he and Atcheson work well together in this enjoyable comedy."
- Richmond Shepard,
lively-arts.com


"Richard Kent Green is a thoughtful actor who approaches his characters with a gentle hand.  He makes careful work of his accent in the first play and inhabits Alan with a touch of melancholy that makes you lonely when he makes his final exit."

LOL
Workshop Theater Company
Main Stage

"...with brutal honesty and sharp wit…LOL examines the romantic life of Danny, an average Joe played by
Richard Kent Green...there is one reason to see this play...acting, acting, acting...trust me, it is just that good... if the promise of great acting is not enough to convince you to see LOL...there is always the sex."
- Sarah Bolson, OffOffOnline.com

"...played to perfection by Richard Kent Green...
the scenes where Danny first goes online are both hilarious and bittersweet, staged with
just the right balance of anarchy and desperation by director Jerry Less...LOL morphs from a jolly romantic comedy to a supernatural/psychological
thriller...LOL is an intriguing exploration of the newest landscape of relationships and sex...a good deal of fun...the entire cast is terrific...."

KING HENRY IV
        Parts 1 & 2
Workshop Theater Company
Jewel Box Theater


"Defining a King - Director Jerry Less...is to be commended on his adaptation...a seamless 2-hour production...pure storytelling...a dynamic interpretation that is both easy to understand and enjoyable to watch. It is the acting, however, that proves to be the brightest jewel in Henry's crown...invigorating and, at times, hysterically funny. Consider this a must-see."
- Stephen Morgan-Mackay, OffOffOnline.com

"William C. Kovacsik's new play, 'The Barksdale Confession'...is a fine, well-constructed play, skillfully directed by Richard Kent Green. The three member cast...is excellent." - Gene Kilik, Town & Village

"...a smartly acted drama...cleverly written...Kovacsik and director Richard Kent Green ride the play's earnestness...to the edge of comic satire...tricky for the actors, too...but they succeed."
- Mark Dundas Wood, BACKSTAGE
