The Language Archive by Julia Cho, Piven Theatre Workshop

when she picked poor George, and, to Fagen's great credit,

that is precisely the kind of character he reveals."  - Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

 

"Fagen in particular communicates a universe of

unexpressed sorrow in his impotent pauses."  - Jack Helbig, Chicago Reader

Big Love by Charles Mee, Strawdog Theatre Company

"The sole nod to non-hetero conventions is Piero's maybe-gay

nephew Giuliano, played by Paul Fagen with dignity even as

he performs the Backstreet Boys' "As Long As You Love Me" in drag."

– TimeOut Chicago

 

"Paul Fagen and Cheryl Roy float through in delightful

character roles." – Chicago Reader

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Metal Children by Adam Rapp, Next Theatre Company

be the choice of the students. "– Around the Town Chicago

"Of the standout performances Paul Fagen (as Carl)

offers several notable moments . He somehow makes

asking the audience to applaud a blanket funny. Hilarious even. " - Edge Chicago

Pat King's Allen and Carl, portrayed by the elastic Paul Fagen."   - Windy City Times

Late Company by Jordan Tannehill, Cor Theatre

"As Michael, Debora’s sometimes clueless, often absent politician husband,

Paul Fagen is excellent. His desperation in trying to paint a portrait of Joel,

a son he barely knew or understood, is palpable." - Chicago Theater Review
