REVIEWS

"NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, A LOT OF TIMES WHEN YOU CAST SOMEONE, THERE'S SOME DOUBT. WITH ISAAC, IT'S THE OPPOSITE. ISAAC DOES SOMETHING ON STAGE EVERY SHOW THAT REMINDS YOU HOW A PIECE OF THEATER CAN IMPACT AN AUDIENCE; THE WAY THAT A PLAY CAN BECOME PART OF SOMEONE'S LEXICON OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE ALIVE."

CON

BROOKLYN ART HAUS

"ISAAC J. CONNER… GIVES BILL INTELLIGENCE AND GRAVITAS… BALANCING FIERY CONVICTION WITH PROTECTIVE CONCERN."

~EMILY CORDES, THEATRE IS EASY

"UNCLE BILL (ISAAC J. CONNER)… SHOWS US A MIX OF KINDNESS AND MENACE… A PARTLY COMIC CHARACTER, A SNAKE LONG AFTER EDEN, WHOSE BELIEFS ARE SO ROOTED IN CONSPIRACY THEORY THAT THEY CAN SEEM COMICAL.

CONNER SHOWS US A CHARMING, CONFIDENT, MISGUIDED PERSON WHO BY EVADING REALITY EVADES RESPONSIBILITY.”

~DAVID SOLLOWAY, ENCORE THEATER REVIEWS

KING KONG

RADIO THEATRE NYC

“ISAAC J. CONNER LENDS HOWLING INTENSITY TO THE ISLAND’S NATIVE CHIEF, AND EARNESTNESS TO THE FAST-TALKING REPORTERS, CREW MEMBERS, AND BYSTANDERS OF KONG’S NARRATIVE.”

THE SUN HANGS THERE BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS AND THE TREES

UNDER ST. MARKS

“IT WAS THESE MOMENTS (OFTEN BETWEEN ISAAC J. CONNER’S BARRY AND ANDREA PETERSON’S NORA) THAT I ENJOYED THE MOST. THESE MOMENTS WERE [FILLED] TO THE BRIM WITH HIGH TENSION AND AN URGENCY AND I WAS ALWAYS EAGER TO FIND OUT MORE WHENEVER THESE TWO SPOKE... ONE GREAT SCENE BETWEEN KEN AND BARRY... HELD A MOMENT OF SILENCE THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST COMPELLING IN THE PLAY."

THE MORTALITY MACHINE

WILDRENCE

“PART OF THIS SUCCESS COMES FROM THE DESIGN ELEMENTS, WHICH ARE WONDERFUL, BUT IT IS EQUALLY DUE TO THE FANTASTIC AND CAPABLE CAST. ISAAC CONNER, AS THE DOWN-TO-BUSINESS LAWYER, AND KELSEY RONDEAU, AS... WELL...IT'S COMPLICATED, ARE BOTH STANDOUTS.“

THE PAVILION

LEWISBURG HOTEL

“IN THE DIRECTOR’S CHAIR FOR THE FIRST TIME, CONNER NICELY ACQUITS HIMSELF, THANKS IN PART TO HIS OBVIOUS CONCERN FOR DETAIL AND THE VETERAN THREE-PERSON CAST.”

BILLTOWN BURLESCAPADES

PAJAMA FACTORY

“LAST NIGHT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE EVENING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN WILLIAMSPORT!.. THE BILLTOWN BURLESCAPADES ELEVATES MY OPINION OF THE LOCAL ARTS SCENE BECAUSE IT WAS GENUINELY AWESOME. I USUALLY ASSUME I HAVE TO TRAVEL TO ONE OF THE EAST COAST’S MAJOR CITIES TO FIND ANY ALTERNATIVE CULTURE."
