Cappie Reviews for the Show
"But like usual, a supporting role captured the eyes of the audience. Jim's father (Alex Weisman) was outstanding. I loved every second he was on stage. His emotion and facial expressions only added to the character that he portrayed so brilliantly. one trait that Weisman had was inner monologue. You could literally tell what his character was thinking and feeling without him even speaking"
"The supporting actors also did a great job. Jim's parent's played by Alex Weisman and Danielle Fischler were especially believable."
"Alex Weisman as Mr. Stark was one of the most noteworthy characters onstage. his dramatization and depiction of Jim's father as a crowd is right on mark - he is everything Jim aspires not to be."
"Alex Weisman gave a noteworthy performance as Mr. Stark, showing a great range of emotion and believability."
"Alex Weisman (Mr. Stark) delivered a believable performance as Jim Stark's Father. he convincingly portrayed the acute friction between two generations."
"Alex Weisman gave an outstanding portrayal of the ineffectual Mr. Stark, immersing himself in the character with great attention to body language and motives."
"Another noteworthy talent came from Alex Weisman, Mr. Stark. Weisman's overindulgent loving behavior towards his son makes it uneasy to watch his downfall as a father figure and his realness onstage is unusual for a high school actor and should be commended."
"A connection could be felt between each person in the play, specifically Jason begue (Jim), Alex Weisman (Mr. Stark) and Sarah Moore (Judy). Their bond with one another created a vast and tender world for the rest of the cast to step upon." This is my favorite comment. Ironic, no!!!
"Also notable for a compelling performance was Alex Weisman as Mr. Stark. Weisman's consistent physicality and sentiment expressed his insecurities as a father and a man."
"Alex Weisman displays a true understanding of the show in his performance, capturing the gap between the youths and adults, and turning his performance into a desperate attempt to bridge that gap. What results is a masterful performance of a caliber rarely seen in high school theatre."
"Alex Weisman's nuanced portrayal of Mr. Stark, Jim's earnest yet ineffectual father, was stunning in its quiet intensity. Weisman displayed great range and extraordinary growth in the role, presenting exquisite chemistry with Begue."
"The last character who really grows on you was Mr. Stark. Jim's Father seems to be the push over kind of guy who will never get what he needs. His character grows through out the presentation and breaks through at the end for his son."
"Two actors that had a wonderful stage presence and character were Alex Weisman and Cassie Spangler. Weisman did an incredible job at developing his character, he took his character from being a weak father to a father that wanted his son's apporval and wanted to help him out in any way he could."
"Alex Weisman was spectacular as Mr. Stark, he really caught the essence of the character."
"One character stood out in particular with his incredibly believable performance and his wonderful stage presence. Alex Weisman who played Mr. Stark did an outstanding job."
"Another character that was great was Mr. Stark, played by Alex Weisman. His nervousness and cowardly actions allowed his character to be clearly represented, and helped strengthen Begue's hatred toward his family, which in turn helped the story line."
"Alex Weisman delivered a noteworthy performance as Jim's Father Mr. Stark. Weisman's character development was exceptional as he transitioned from a discomfited, spineless weakling to the beginnings of a resolute role model."
