Reviews

DuBreuil’s Richard was so perfectly realized, with all the insecurities and mercurial changes of heart and mind vividly brought to life, that I regret having wasted my time bothering to watch one of the ‘greats’ [Sir Derek Jacobi on the West End].
Andrew Walker White, DC Metro Theater Arts 2020 Staff Favorites: Outstanding Performances
RICHARD THE SECOND with Brave Spirits Theatre
Also dropping by is bad son Raul (Gary DuBreuil in a chest-pounding, muscle-flexing, showstopping parody of manhood run amok) … Raul’s bad-boy badinage is both a blast and loaded with insight.
John Stoltenberg, DC Theater Arts
TESTOSTERONE with ExPats Theatre
A strong, dynamic lead, DuBreuil brings quick wit and physical humor to the role [of Scrooge], drawing chuckles from the audience even in his most villainous state. He transitions smoothly and thoughtfully from bitter to annoyed to fearful to humble to joyous with expert measure.
Valerie J. Mikles, DC Theater Arts
A CHRISTMAS CAROL at Bowie Center for the Performing Arts
All nine actors in NOISES OFF have mastered this insanely comically intricate script. Some favorite bits include Gary DuBreuil as Tim, the Stage Manager. Stage managers form the backbone of a show, but Tim (and his backbone) are overworked. Often using just body language and a couple of feet, DuBreuil’s Tim anticipates every performer’s need, director’s want, and his own desperate longing for sleep.
Mary Lincer, Broadway World
NOISES OFF at Keegan Theatre
DuBreuil portrays Richard’s autocratic and devil-may-care attitude with flair. He excels in Richard’s monologues. As he becomes more and more lost and alone, our sympathy for him grows. He goes from being a Sun King to a King of Snow, melting in the rays of Bolingbroke’s splendor.
Sophia Howes, DC Metro Theater Arts
RICHARD THE SECOND with Brave Spirits Theatre
And most importantly, thank the gods for Gary DuBreuil who takes Touchstone, who can be the least funny clown outside of Stephen King’s Pennywise, to a place where Shakespeare’s twisty puns can be laughed at by contemporary audiences.
Alan Katz, DC Theatre Scene
AS YOU LIKE IT with Prince George's Shakespeare in the Parks
Gary DuBreuil best sustains the tricky tone required for the piece, with his characterization of Raul managing to remain genuinely offensive, cartoonishly-comic and oddly appealing, all at once.
Steven Kirkpatrick & Charles Boyington, Theatre Bloom
TESTOSTERONE with ExPats Theatre
Gary DuBreuil’s Richard is a fascinating study, a young monarch whose petulance and thirst for blood is tempered by his self-deprecating sense of humor. Shakespeare gives DuBreuil numerous opportunities to draw the audience to his side, and he succeeds in generating far more sympathy for Richard’s plight than the historical figure deserved.
Andrew White, Broadway World
RICHARD THE SECOND with Brave Spirits Theatre
[Don and Janis’s] song together, “If She Don’t Sleep” (beautifully sung by Valerie Adams Rigsbee and Gary DuBreuil), is a tenderly moving evocation of empathy, mutuality, and reciprocity in a marriage.
John Stoltenberg, DC Metro Theater Arts
HANDS ON A HARDBODY at Keegan Theatre
The acting style is wonderfully broad, and DuBreuil in particular brings to the role of Lette an antic physicality and facial plasticity that keeps getting funnier.
John Stoltenberg, DC Metro Theater Arts
THE UGLY ONE with Nu Sass Productions
Calianax, Aspatia’s father and keeper of the fort at Rhodes, fills [the role of cynical clown], and Gary DuBreuil masters the part.
Eric Minton, Shakespeareances.com
THE MAID'S TRAGEDY with Brave Spirits Theatre
In the title role, Gary DuBreuil captures both the impish arrogance of his kingship and the late-arriving vulnerability and self-awareness as he comes to terms with his failures, it’s a crucial role and DuBreuil pulls it off with style.
John Geoffrion, DC Theatre Scene
