AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS (ACTOR'S CO-OP THEATRE, LOS ANGELES) "Kevin Coubal attacks NEARLY 20 ROLES like a ONE-MAN SECOND CITY TROUPE" --- David C. Nichols for LA TIMES (Critic's Choice) "SCENE-STEALINGEST OF ALL IS COUBAL as Reform Club member Gauthier Ralph, a British Consul, a Director of Police, an Indian priest, retired Brigadier General Sir Francis, Calcutta Judge Obadiah, a Chinese broker, a ship clerk, ship pilot Bunsby, American Colonel Proctor, a train engineer, sledge driver Mudge, a clerk, captain Speedy of the Henrietta, its ship engineer, and a train clerk. Whether upper class Englishman or Fu Manchu-bearded Chinese, or a parcel of Americans each gruffer and grizzlier than the next, the dashingly handsome Co-op guest artist PROVES HIMSELF A COMEDIAN (and CHAMELEON) EXTRAORDINAIRE --- Steven Stanley for stagescenela.com OTHELLO (CONNECTICUT REPERTORY THEATRE) "Coubal's 'honest Iago' was FASCINATING AND FANTASTIC, consumed by a furious, passionate hatred for Othello that drives him to all out villainy, joyously taking down .... others in his path without a MOMENT’S HESITATION or AN OUNCE OF REMORSE" ---- Kory Loucks for "The Journal Inquirer" PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (CONNECTICUT REPERTORY THEATRE) “The stoic and arrogant Mr. Darcy can be a tricky role, and I have seen it portrayed in some film adaptations as one dimensional and stiff, but here, KEVIN COUBAL SUCCEEDS IN MAKING THE CHARACTER COMPLEX AND HUMAN.." “....And he’s handsome too, ‘which a young man ought likewise to be, if he possibly can,’ to quote Elizabeth Bennet” ---- Kory Loucks for "The Journal Inquirer" TAKING STEPS (HOPE SUMMER REPERTORY THEATRE) “Sending the play over the top is the flamboyant Leslie, PERFECTLY PLAYED BY Kevin Coubal... Leslie struts around the stage, flipping his scarf and hair, definitely unnerving the other characters as they question his sexuality” --The Zeeland Record “It is the physical comedy where these actors excel and some of the greatest laughs are elicited. They prance up stairs in a manner made all the more humorous by the fact that the set has no actual stairs... Even the silences are funny...as they awkwardly stare at each other at a loss for what to say... and fully commit to even the most obvious of misinterpretations that each character makes of the others.” ----Bridgette M Redman for “Encore Michigan” WILD OATS (WILLAMETTE REPERTORY THEATRE) "...Coubal stands out from the UO crowd with his calm skill...” ---- Suzi Steffen for “The Eugene Weekly” |
