FUBAR directed by Larissa Kokernot
"It starts working right away, much like the obsessively balanced cocktail of chemical stimulants that affable drug dealer Richard (Ryan McCarthy, the best and funniest thing in this production) has prepared for himself and old friend David."
-Sam Thielman, Variety
Pittsburgh Public Theater
Disgraced directed By Tracy Brigden
"The other three main roles shine with their own assumptions of entitlement...Ryan McCarthy’s Jewish art dealer (perhaps the most assured performance of all) is a self-justifying snake in the grass." - Christopher Rawson, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Ryan McCarthy and Nafeesa Monroe as [the] guests play with intelligence and rock-solid commitment. "
- Ted Hoover, Pittsburgh City Paper
"Ryan McCarthy and Nafeesa Monroe do a great job of playing a seemingly happy couple that gets dragged into an ugly situation."
- Isaac Crow, Pittsburgh in the Round
"...some fine performances by McCarthy and Monroe." - Brian Edward, 'Burgh Vivant
"As the Whitney curator, Ryan McCarthy knows how to play the game, affable and congenial in social situations, he also shows undercurrents of the ruthlessness and self-serving traits often a necessary by-product of the competitive art world."
- Dave Zuchowski, Pittsburgh Owl Scribe
Portland Center Stage
Cymbeline directed By Chris Coleman
"Six actors take on 17 roles, but these talented cast members handle the various characters and the quick character changes splendidly...Ryan McCarthy transforms smoothly from the young Liam-Neeson-like Posthumous to the cloddish Cloten (Posthumous’ ill-suited and ill-fated rival for Imogen’s affections) to the aged, honorable Belarius." - Richard Wattenberg, The Oregonian
"Shakespeare's typically convoluted plot nevertheless sparkles to life in the hands of a truly adept cast, several of whom portray up to five different characters." - Penelope Bass, Willamette Weekly
