REViEWS

    "It all proceeds with a nail-biting ferocity and...climaxes in

     a mostly dark stage with...two evenly matched characters

     who trade advantage with nerve-jangling frequency...As

     her antagonist Roat, Caleb Clark simply oozes menace,

     even madness, as he ruthlessly terrorizes Susan and

     (occasionally) his “partners"...In the end, we are left with

     a thrilling battle of wills between two characters, two actors

     in peak form, knowing only the stronger will be standing at

     the end."

Wait Until Dark by Frederick Knott, Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher

  @ Georgia Ensemble Theatre; Marietta, GA

    -Brad Rudy; Atlanta Theatre Buzz; 2023

    "The Play that Goes Wrong boasts a committed and

     indefatigable cast who manages to keep the laughs

     coming until the very end…Caleb Clark is hilarious as Cecil

     Haversham, who is all too eager to get people to clap for

     him, no matter what their applause is for…The cast is also

     surprisingly athletic, especially Caleb Clark, who provides

     some of the show’s best moments of physical comedy (it’s

     therefore unsurprising that he also serves as fight

     captain)…"

The Play That Goes Wrong by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer,

  @ Aurora Theatre; Lawrenceville, GA               & Henry Shields

    -Luke Evans; ARTSATL; 2023

    "In subsidiary plot, faithful courtier Gloucester (Kenn

     Hopkins, Jr.)...is framed by his illegitimate son Edmund (a

     brilliant Iago-like portrayal by Caleb Clark) as a traitor."

King Lear by William Shakespeare

  @ Houston Shakespeare Festival; Houston, TX

    -D. L. Groover; HoustonPress; 2022

    "Cloten (Caleb Clark), the Queen's son and heir to the

     kingdom if he marries his stepfather's daughter...is a pouty

     momma's boy, prancing and swishing his hair and cape as

     if on RuPaul's runway."

Cymbeline by William Shakespeare

  @ Houston Shakespeare Festival; Houston, TX

    -D. L. Groover; HoustonPress; 2022

    "It’s anchored by a terrific performance from Caleb Clark

     that should garner him great reviews and push him closer

     to the attention of more casting directors. As Joey, the

     black sheep of the family and lead singer of the local metal

     band The Guard, his work here is an example of restraint;

     it’s a performance that goes for effective understated

     choices, instead of large emotional ones and, although he

     has his flashes of grandeur, it’s the small moments that are

     more powerful and feel more real...Clark, and the rest of

     the cast and crew have managed to...give us an

     exceptionally good character piece." - ★★★★

    -Jolly Moel; ScreenCritix; 2022

    "A poignant watch from start-to-finish...Caleb Clark (Joey)

     delivers a...commendable performance – his ability to

     showcase a broken soul is outstanding and powerful

     viewing...‘Take Care’ deserves high appreciation for the

     narrative subject matter, cast delivery and technical

     excellence. Highly recommended." - ★★★★★

    "like the rest of the supporting ensemble: Caleb Clark...

     They are uniformly superb...O'Hara's language is regularly

     coarse and explicit. And more power to Clark for his

     gutsiness..."

Bootycandy written by Robert O'Hara

  @ Actor's Express; Atlanta, GA

    -Bert Osbourne; The AJC; 2022

    "Outside of his dreams, Scrooge has one family member

     left, his nephew played by Caleb Clark. An idiosyncratic

     actor, Clark deftly crafts discrete characters as he weaves

     in and out of the story playing both Scrooge's nephew,

     Fred, and a young Scrooge himself. Clark's attention to

     detail, commitment to his characters, and ability to be

     present within the story make his performance powerful."

A Christmas Carol adapted by David H. Bell

  @ The Alliance Theatre; Atlanta, GA

    -Ella Outlaw; Broadway World; 2021

    "Scrooge’s wise and loyal nephew, Fred (Caleb Clark,

     dashing and earnest), offers the old man the most direct

     link to his humanity, and here again it’s rebuffed with a

     disinterested chill. (Clark also plays Ebenezer as a young

     man, and his brief and painful scenes with fiancée

     Belle...are among the production’s most touching

     moments.)"

A Christmas Carol adapted by David H. Bell

  @ The Alliance Theatre; Atlanta, GA

    -Pierre Ruhe; ArtsATL; 2021

    "In a cast full of talented actors, I'll mention Caleb Clark

     (Fred and Young Scrooge)...as particularly fine."

A Christmas Carol adapted by David H. Bell

  @ The Alliance Theatre; Atlanta, GA

    -Manning Harris; Atlanta Intown; 2021

    “The cast of patients worked in concert perfectly…The

     developmentally disabled Billy, in my view, is one of the

     toughest to get right in this play as it requires serious

     range to cover shame, sexual excitement, despair and

     more. Clark nails this with his stuttering Billy, never falling

     into stereotype or wallpaper. He is entirely believable and

     authentic.”

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Dale Wasserman

  @ Flint Rep; Flint, MI

    -David Kiley; Encore Michigan; 2021

    "Even with all his physicality, this production shines most in

     the lines, which the cast delivers so expertly, especially

     Clark in his third year with the touring troupe…Amid the

     lunacy, the play’s heart still beats loud…Clark’s Antipholus

     even shows some remorse for the beatings to…his

     servant…"

The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare

  @ American Shakespeare Center; Staunton, VA

    -Eric Minton; Shakespeareances; 2019

    "...while [Caleb] Clark (a slapstick genius Antipholus)...The

     Antics these four get up to as they combine and

     recombine are brilliantly conceived and executed..."

The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare

  @ American Shakespeare Center; Staunton, VA

    -Andrew Walker White; DC Metro; 2019


    "Anchoring the cast is [Caleb] Clark's turn as Bob Cratchit.

     His talent at physical comedy (also on display in the

     company's touring show...) is a joy to watch, but he also

     draws you in for the mourning scene...Clark manages to

     draw you into the Cratchits' family home, and move the

     entire audience with grief, simply and humanely

     expressed. In my experience, it's rare for Dickens to move

     you this way...But Clark and the cast manage it gracefully."

A Christmas Carol adapted by Jay McClure

  @ American Shakespeare Center; Staunton, VA

    -Andrew Walker White; DC Metro; 2018

    "Most are familiar with this story of the enchanting boy who

     refuses to grow up, but [Caleb] Clark’s Peter Pan is a

     departure from the norm. A scruffy, barefoot fellow with an

     unkempt mop of bushy hair and an impish, lively

     demeanor, he will be a surprise to those expecting the

     Disney version."

Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie

  @ Flint Youth Theatre; Flint, MI

    -Kathleen Kirby; Flint Area Theatres; 2012

    "...with his flamboyant...partner, Gail ([Caleb] Clark). He

     pleads with Gail to behave, perhaps be one of the boys, at

     least during the visit...Clark, whose character has no ties to

     the area to prompt any pretense, brings pathos to his role

     that is both comedic and sadly valiant."

Our Lady of 121st Street by Stephen Adly Guirgis

  @ University of Michigan - Flint; Flint, MI

    -Kathleen Kirby; Flint Area Theatres; 2011

    "...the faerie spirit called Puck explodes magically from the

     remains of a metal jungle gym. [Caleb] Clark is perfect in

     this role of mischief maker and comedian as he frolics

     about in the collected flotsam and bits of discarded refuse.

     His favorite place of concealment in a garbage can

     provided a hilarious moment Friday night."

A Midsummer Nights' Dream by William Shakespeare

  @ University of Michigan - Flint; Flint, MI

    -Kathleen Kirby; Flint Area Theatres; 2011

    "At the center of it all is the mad young Irish militant,

     Padriac ([Caleb] Clark)...Clark brings a wild-eyed truth to

     this clearly unbalanced character, who we first see

     torturing a suspected pusher." 

The Lieutenant of Inishmore by Martin McDonagh
