Performance Reviews
MOLIÈRE'S THE IMAGINARY INVALID (world premier adaptation)
"Perhaps the gem of the production—for what else does one call the lead in a parade of buffoonery, but a gem—is the character of Thomas Dickinson played with absolutely no restraint by Colum Parke Morgan. He enters the room with a stupefied expression and terrible bow, launches into a speech that astonishes everyone in the room, with the possible exception of Argan, who is so beyond reason that he cannot recognize its presence, or lack thereof, in another, and is an instant audience favorite. Under his mother’s controlling influence he is part manic, part show dog. But he is not to win the day, or Abigail’s heart—a fact that should surprise nobody."

SEMINAR BY THERESA REBECK
"It’s to our benefit, then, that they brought in Colum Parke Morgan for the role, a ball of pure charm, who practically stole the show in Austin Shakespeare’s production of Much Ado About Nothing. When he lambastes the other characters’ writing, he’s somehow able to make us both hate him, understand him, and at times even believe him. He has the ability to deliver an insult as if it’s a compliment, with even his most cutting critiques coming off more as tough love than out-and-out harassment. Part of this stems from Rebeck’s intelligent writing for the character, but Morgan certainly brings his own attitude to the role, able to seem both carefree and delicate simultaneously throughout."
SEMINAR BY THERESA REBECK
"In the following scene, however, we’re introduced to Leonard, the teacher of the seminar. The energy, authenticity, and authority that Colum P. Morgan brings to the role immediately shifts the tone, and we watch as he demolishes Kate’s story, stating he can’t get more than five words in because it’s so boring and unengaging."
"Morgan dominates any scene in which he’s present..."
THE SPITFIRE GRILL
"Morgan is spot on as the frustrated Caleb, trying to make ends meet since the town mill has shut down."

COMPANY BY STEPHEN SONDHEIM

LES MISERABLES
"Ultimately, Les Misérables is about the performances, and here PCPA has come up with a truly remarkable cast."
