BARNSTABLE PATRIOT

"Christopher Young is a fine, fun-loving Prince Hal, wise underneath his playful exterior."
WICKED LOCAL CAPE COD

"Young masterfully portrays his character, endearing him to the audience with boyish charm before shocking them into contemplative silence as his Prince Hal takes a dark turn."
BARNSTABLE PATRIOT

"As Prince Hal, Christopher Young, a recent Ohio University MFA graduate, keeps pace with his more experienced colleague, and has several memorable moments with Sir John.  Young also does an excellent job with the several famous soliloquies on his plate."

"Christopher Young in the role of the engagingly earnest Rev. John Hale shows the only nuanced understanding of what is really happening amid all of the hysteria and accusations."

HARWICH ORACLE

"Young, as Hale, is stunning in the difficult role of a minister who sees plainly the grim reality behind the accusations of Salem’s women. Young’s passion moves many to actual tears."

DIANA OF DOBSON - Ohio University 2011

Picture
"Young woos the audience with his innocent charm and desire for Diana as Captain Bretherton. What may seem a minor part in the beginning, Young's character ends up carrying the play's twists and turns, and overall he elevates the intrigue."
THE ATHENS NEWS


THREE MEN ON A HORSE - Monomoy Theater 2010

Picture
"In the starring role of Erwin, the man with uncanny horse-picking abilities, is Christopher Young, wrapping up his first season with Monomoy in grand fashion.  Young is absolutely perfect in the role of Erwin, a mild-mannered man working a going-nowhere job while doing his best to avoid his aggravatingly cocky brother-in-law and keeping his shopaholic wife happy.  Young’s facial expressions, comedic timing, and his ability to play a very believable drunk garner laugh upon laugh and endear Erwin to the audience."
THE BARNSTABLE PATRIOT

"Derek, the physically inept newly hired part-timer who is chronically prone to accidents, is well played by Christopher Young. Young succeeds in revealing a callous nature without losing touch with the humor."
TALKIN' BROADWAY

"Christopher Young is delicious as Derek, the accident prone teacher who believes he'll be free of mishaps now that he's found the right woman"
