JON BEAL
ACTING REEL
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Picture this Post
..powerfully acted by Muse of Fire Company Member Jon Beal...Levy’s play relies solely on the strength of the actors, and Beal proves early that he is up to that challenge.
​Chicago Theater Beat
"Jon Beal’s stage combat design is perfectly executed... and Jon Beal’s Mercutio is daring charisma personified."
Chicago Stage Standard
"Jon Beal as the handsome Young Syrian obsessed with Salome, gave a standout performance."
Evantson RoundTable
Jon Beal delivers a slimy, covetous Richard, at the same time showing the charisma behind the filth.
​Chicago Theater Beat
"Volkers and Beal make the Shakespearean prose sound
more like a contemporary bromantic brawl...Throughout the show, Beal plays it perfectly hot-headed, revolutionary."
