Dangerous Corner

note: Justin R. G. Holcomb was a last minute replacement for this show, given only three rehearsals before opening.

Justin R. Holcomb, understudying the role of Charles Stanton in this performance, is entirely convincing as an impeccably dressed businessman who easily announces shocking sins to his colleagues without ever losing the smile on his face.

Special kudos go to Justin Holcomb's commanding performance as Stanton, who, I was shocked to discover, was an understudy

Justin R.G. Holcomb made a wonderfully smarmy Stanton (filling in for another actor who's having knee surgery).

Note: The role of Charles Stanton was played by Justin Holcomb and not Anthony Bertram, as we were advised Mr. Bertram sustained a knee injury and had to be replaced at the last minute.
Final Note: Mr. Bertram we wish well and hope you get back soon, because Mr. Justin Holcomb was so great filling in, you might have lost an opportunity.

Lion Tamer, Couples

Lion Tamer is the most bizarre of all the scenes – balancing Noel Coward-style witticism with the sex-charged writing of Jackie Collins. Justin R.G. Holcomb as “A Man” is viewing the apartment of “A Woman” (Christine Verleny) with a view to rent or purchase. As they flirt urbanely their dialogue becomes more charged until Man begins to tell how he “mounted” a lioness while on safari. Holcomb’s wave of dark blond hair and sensuous delivery create a performance that is both leonine and seductive, despite the disturbing imagery.

-David Orchard, Stage Buzz

In Lion Tamer, the boldest and most memorable piece, a man gets a sexy and scenic real estate tour. Christine Verleney and Justin R.G. Holcomb (a Woman and a Man) smolder in their carnal banter, but their unique circumstances would be hard to swallow were it not for the commitment that these comic heavyweights make to be playful.

-Cindy Pierre, New Theatre Corps

While all 16 actors are well-cast and entertaining, there are a handful of standouts. . .Justin R.G. Holcomb, as "A Man" in Lion Tamer walks the line between reserved and absurd, with surprises at every turn.

-Robin Reed, nytheatre.com

Lion Tamer, also directed by Philip Emeott, is one of the all-around strongest plays of the evening.  Sexy, funny, and disturbing, it features a verbal tango of seduction between a woman selling her house (Christine Verleny) and a man (Justin R.G. Holcomb) who wants it . . . and her.  Holcomb and Verleny have wonderful chemistry and are well suited to this sly, sexy play

Young Zombies in Love

Another high point is "Ballad of a Lonely Commando," sung by Justin R.G. Holcomb as the S.W.A.T. King. -Maggie Cino, NYTheatre.com

Hank, played with deceptive mildness by Justin R.G. Holcomb

King Lear

In addition to exciting choreographed fight scenes and realistic blood and guts depictions, other fine performances were delivered by Justin R. G. Holcomb (a cunning and sadistic Cornwall),
