BACH AT LEIPZIG

BACKSTAGE| Dany Margolies

COMPLETELY HOLLYWOOD (ABRIDGED)

kdhx.org | Chris Gibson

"Dominic Conti...are the players in this piece and they each take on a broad range of characters, both male and female...They're a talented groups with excellent timeing, and they play off one another perfectly. Conti is particularly skilled at the more physical, slapstick style humor."

The Noble Fool Theatre --
THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF AMERICA (ABRIDGED)

The Chicago Sun-Times | Hedy Weiss

"Conti, who arrives with a long list of serious acting credits, is a marvelous clown--tall, thin, frantic and rubber faced, with a gift for classic drag and a thoroughly loopy, on-the-edge kind of insanity. He does so much running that there are times when you fear someone will have to mop him up off the floor before it's all over."

Chicago Tribune | Chris Jones

"...Dominic Conti and Michael Hagedorn...make a well-contrasted Laurel and Hardy team..."

Windy City Times | Bryon Upton

A MOUTHFUL OF BIRDS

Goodman Theatre --
AMONG THE THUGS

Chicago Sun-Times | Hedy Weiss

"The show, which received a Jeff Award for its ensemble work, has not so much been ratcheted up a notch as shined to a high gloss. It was bloody riveting the first time around and remains so..."
