REVIEWS
Long John Silver in "Treasure Island":
"Bart Shattuck, as salty sea-dog Long John Silver, was absolutely stellar,
capturing the ruthlessness of his pirate persona as well as Silver's warm heart."
--Patrick Braley, Piscataquis Times
Ken in "Rumors":
"Bart Shattuck, from the opening seconds of the play,
helped provide a tense and frantic tone as Ken Gorman..."
--Taylor Gould, SVWeekly
Sir Toby Belch in "Twelfth Night":
". . .and the male-masquerading Viola is visibly upstaged
by the play's pranksters, most notably Bart Shattuck
as the hard-drinking troublemaker, Sir Toby Belch."
-- LA Weekly
Petkoff in "Arms and the Man":
"Bart Shattuck and Sharyn Case lend ample comic support as Raina's parents.
Shattuck effortlessly portrays Petkoff as an easygoing slob given to fits of red-faced rage."
-- Eric Marchese, Orange County Register
Petkoff in "Arms and the Man":
...father Petkoff really nails his performance.
Actor Bart Shattuck is the only one who seems to know that in a play teetering on farce,
one does nothing spectacular but plays it straight—
Shaw's lines do all the work, if they're delivered with care and pacing.
-- Stacey Davies, OCWeekly
Shylock in "Merchant of Venice" :
"Bart Shattuck was amazing as always."
-- Jamie Rowe, Signal Tribune
Touchstone in "As You Like It" :
"Bart does an excellent job playing the mandolin and singing little verses
both between scenes and during the action of the play.
He fits the role of the fool quite well.
Whether through mocking the other actors or through his own antics,
he deserves applause for a job well done."
-- Jamie Rowe,Online Forty-Niner
Everyman in "A Single Woman":
"Bart Shattuck deftly assumes the roles of narrator, interlocutor and everybody else in Rankin's life."
-- LA WEEKLY

"Bart Shattuck, in the dual role of Dromio. . .got all the laughs."
-- Patrick Pacheco, The Mirror Lake
Chronicle
Austin in "Quite Please" :
"The cast of four, in particular leading actor Bart Shattuck, skillfully balances the intense acting style of
classic radio with a modern sensibility to deliver an eerie performance."
-- Jeff Favre, Backstage West
Lassie in "Lassie Come Home" :
"The other two winners were 'Lassie Come Home', an hilarious spoof of the Lassie series,
by writer-director Bart Shattuck [who] delivered a sidesplitting portrayal as a pretend Lassie,
who's a Scotsman ravishing Timmy's mom right under her husband's nose. "
-- Jim Crogan, Backstage West
Sully in "Marry Me, You Dick" :
"Scruffy Lieutenant Sully, a drunk Colombo type, only more bumbling,
is wonderfully incarnated by Bart Shattuck."
-- ReviewPlays.com
Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol" :
"[Bart Shattuck] has the presence and range to make Scrooge believable,
whether he is being penurious, frightened half to death by the ghosts that visit him or gleefully happy
when he finally discovers Christmas..."
--John Farrell, Long Beach Press-Telegram
