PRESS QUOTES
THEATRE
HANK WILLIAMS: LOST HIGHWAY – Filament Theatre
“Quinn is truly a delight, bringing an aw shucks glee to the role that should have
been annoying but was completely endearing instead.” – Alex Huntsberger
(Centerstage)
“…dynamic musicians who can act…and the very funny Sam Quinn- these are top
notch musicians and vocalists…” – Alan Brenslof (Around the Town Chicago)
“…the Drifting Cowboys, gave a musical treat of the first order...Sam Quinn on
rhythm guitar…You’d be hard pressed to hear a finer country band – these guys
wale!” –Heidi Weiss (Chicago Sun Times)
THEY ARE DYING OUT – Trap Door Theatre
“…The ensemble is nothing short of staggering…Sam Quinn creates a human
mannequin with his stiflingly stiff, both physical and psychological, portrayal of
Quitt’s servant Hans.” - Venus Zarris (Chicago Stage Review)
THE PARASITE- Collaboraction
“The acting is excellent, too, with Sam Quinn stealing the scene as the bot fly.”
-Scotty Zacher (Chicago Theatre Beat)
SUBURBIA – The Nine
“The actors’ performances contain fire and wit…” –Kerry Reid (Chicago Reader)
ORIGINAL WORKS
EYE INSIDE: The Rock-n-Roll Allegory of Vance Barrett – Biophiliac Productions
“Eye Inside is a blatantly great concept…The lead character is the agent, Vance
Barrett, played by writer and co-creator Sam Quinn…well thought-out and
sometimes exceedingly clever…The music is good, too…wonderfully conceived…an
innovative and interesting work” -Will Fink (Chicago Critic)
SLOW JEREMIAH (Rock Band)
“…their complex songwriting style and chopped out instrumental techniques
ultimately defy categorization—highly recommended.” –August March (ABQ Alibi)
