Reviews of Past Performances for Frank Blocker

Stabilized Not Controlled
"We Love It"   *   "Authentic"    *   "Amazing"

"Frank Blocker may be performing a funny 70-minute show, but he is working harder than most ensembles I’ve seen. His characters’ voices are all distinctive, and it works as a fast-paced whole. Very New York!"
   - New York Theatre Experience, May 2012

"He races from character to character and place to place at lightning speed, dragging us along with our hair flying behind us. And we love it. These people are eccentric but ring true. 

Go! Enjoy!"
   - Electronic Link Journey/eljc.com, May 2012

   - New York Press, 4/15/2010, Mark Peikhart

   - TheatreScene.net, 3/15/2010, Eugene Paul

"His whirlwind of characters is a must see, at times reminding me of my 91-year-old grandmother and at other times the super in my NYC apartment building."
