"Harris is the perfect Edward..."

"In a standout performance as Edward, Matt Harris was tremendously entertaining and his comedic timing was on point. His physical comedy and witty delivery were spectacular and his facial expressions and slapstick drew many laughs from the audience." - Julia Tucker, Maryland Theatre Guide

"(Harris) has a singular awkwardness..." "...smaller — often two-character — quieter scenes... allows the audience to see deeper into key characters like Elinor, Col. Brandon, and Edward, these are among the show’s most effective moments." - Bob Ashby, DC Theater Arts

"(Harris) is simultaneously outlandish and charming." -Charlie Cox, Danville Advocate review of Servant of Two Masters
