The Shawshank Redemption
at NextStop Theatre Company
“Matthew Shea as Dawkins brought great comedic relief to the serious tone and subject matter.”
Pride and Prejudice
at NextStop Theatre Company
“…taking both male and female characters on to great effect is Matthew Shea. From the soft-spoken clergyman Mr. Collins, to the smooth-talking gentleman soldier Wickham, Shea does a fine job. But you need to see this actor – who sports a full beard – while he flirts with Mr. Darcy as Miss Bingley, [a] lesson in comic looks and timing.”
Every Brilliant Thing
at Single Carrot Theatre
“The protagonist goes through a lot, and Matthew Shea gives a dynamic performance of all that. He is equally good as an innocent seven-year-old…or as angry teenager…or as a young adult.”
“Matthew Shea…has great, firm control of this character.”
The 39 Steps
at NextStop Theatre Company
“From the plotting professor with a disintegrating accent to a tempted, unsatisfied Scottish farmer’s wife and even as a crooked crony trying to get the job done for the boss, Shea slipped in and out of accent and dress as easily as a quick change in a Broadway musical, with just as much flair.”
