St Nicholas
Black Button Eyes Productions
“Webb gives a superb performance…Director Rutherford does a masterly job of directing his actor in blocking and movement.”
-Nancy Bishop, Third Coast Review
“Webb gives a phenomenal, beautifully controlled performance… It’s a gripping turn, and I was thoroughly absorbed. Director Rutherford is a frequent collaborator with Webb and knows when to stay out of his actor’s way. His direction is unobtrusive but assured… It’s all beautifully crafted.”
-CJ Fernandes, Stage and Cinema
“Kevin Webb captivates and commands in this one-actor show…it’s simple yet effective as Webb immerses us in this space merely through his words.”
-Angela Lin, BroadwayWorld Chicago
“In a commanding and brilliant tour de force, multitalented and prolific actor Kevin Webb delivers a one-man performance that completely captures the imagination of his audience.”
-Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review
“Kevin Webb shines…Webb performs a thoroughly unlikable role with magnetic nuance.”
-Emily McClanathan, Chicago Reader“Black Button Eyes delivers a creepily cozy production, with Ed Rutherford directing Kevin Webb, who gives a compelling performance…Kevin Webb’s performance is flat out impressive.”
-Christine Malcolm, Talkin’ Broadway
“St. Nicholas remains a production worth experiencing for Kevin Webb’s committed performance and the creative work of the entire team, led by director Ed Rutherford. Black Button Eyes Productions successfully captures the unsettling atmosphere of McPherson’s gothic world and transforms a challenging one-person play into a memorable experience.”
