Paul Danaceau Actor, Singer, and Voiceovers

News…

• Paul recently co-starred in D. L. Coburn's 1978 Pulitzer Prize play, "The Gin Game," with Helen Hayes Award winner Rena Cherry Brown at The Bay Theatre Company in Annapolis, MD. The playwright attended one of the performances.

• "It would be very easy for a two-person show about two residents of a retirement home to become wearing: the performance of its stars can make or break the production. Much like the original 1977 Broadway version which starred the classic husband and wife Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy, this performance succeeds because of the strong performances of Danaceau and Cherry Brown.

  "Danaceau is quite strong as the cantankerous Weller. He straddles that very precarious line between making the character likeable enough for the audience to accept Fonsia's attraction to him and still difficult enough to understand Fonsia's fear and dread of his outbursts. He delivered a powerful performance. He transitioned between the agreeable and the belligerent bad sport very smoothly." - DC Theatre Scene

• "The actors are to be complimented for their unflinching look at the characters dark sides. Don't go to the play expecting the classic 'good time,' but go for an up-close and personal look at the human condition - a hallmark of great theatre.

  "Danaceau has a wide vocal range and moves from simmering anger to explosive rage: you fear for his safety and that of his fellow actor. The audience becomes riveted by the verbal jousting and escalating outbursts that accompany both Weller's incredible losing streak and Fonsia's efforts to defend herself." - All Arts Review

• "In Danaceau's and Brown's expert hands, both characters really come alive, and it seems less like they're acting than 'being' the parts. I can't say enough about how good they were in an opening weekend show." - Capital Gazette
