Greg Cuellar

“the fantastically malleable Greg Cuellar, reminiscent of a young Alan Rickman”

“Barresi and Cuellar hold each other up with palpable tenderness, each one crafting a long, poignant arc from innocence through the fogs and thorns of experience. A scene in which Riley (who naturally becomes the Dungeon Master in the game) narrates a solo campaign for the suffering Clara is profoundly moving in its generosity.”

“The seven actors… thrive on the meticulously detailed self-consciousness of teenhood.”

“There’s gorgeous confidence, sensitivity, and specificity in their characterizations.”

“Greg Cuellar has a great chaos onstage, depicting an appetite for pain that we see is dangerously attractive, to adults as well as kids…” — Helen Shaw, The New Yorker (via bluesky)

“Cuellar’s steady presence and comedic timing is the perfect foil for Barresi’s world-weariness. Sometimes fraught, sometimes misguided, but always with a baseline of love, scenes between the two feel like crawling into a comfortable spot on the sofa.” — Austin Fimmano, New York Theatre Guide

“Riley (Greg Cuellar, in a remarkable performance of precocity and self-doubt).” — Thom Geier, Culture Sauce

“Greg Cuellar’s charisma shines so bright you will root for him days after the show.” — Laurie Graff, Splash Magazines

“Greg Cuellar’s Riley and Carson Higgins’s Lo, create a devastating portrait of internalized homophobia as violence – their locker room confrontation, is almost unwatchable in its psychological precision.” - David Roberts, Theatre Reviews Limited

“Riley (Greg Cuellar, captivating)…” — Raven Snook, Time Out New York
