The Tempest (Oak Park Festival Theatre, Chicago, 2021)
“I applaud Gall’s performance as Caliban. Talk about the paradoxes… He is two creatures in one. There’s this vengeful side… and there’s this sweet side that can become a little bit of a dreamer.”– Kerry Reid, The Dueling Critics
Boeing Boeing (Metropolis Performing Arts Center, Chicago 2018)
“But it’s Gall’s delightfully flustered Robert (whose antics earned spontaneous applause) and the actor’s deft handling of comic shtick that elicited the biggest laughs.”– Barbara Vitello, Daily Herald
Macbeth (Oak Park Festival Theatre, Chicago, 2017)
“Matt Gall’s Malcolm, the rightful heir, delivers his ‘confession’ of all his sins of the flesh with great gusto, only, of course, to retract it.”– Kerry Reid, Chicago Tribune
“Bryan Wakefield, Christopher W. Jones, Matt Gall, and Sean William Kelly lead the rest of the ensemble in terrific performances.” – Elizabeth Ellis, PerformInk
Ah, Wilderness! (A Noise Within, Los Angeles, 2017)
“O’Neill’s alter-ego here is Richard (Matt Gall)… While the pair are cast older than their scripted ages, they radiate the whirlwind emotions of first love.”– Philip Brandes, L.A. Times
“Gall gives Richard both the aura of conviction and the simplicity of lovesick youth in a combination that works well to tie all the pieces of this tale together.”– Frances Baum Nicholson, Daily Breeze
“His oldest son Richard (Matt Gall in a terrific performance), a budding 17 year-old poet and writer… is in love with Muriel McComber.” – Jack Lyons, Desert Local News
“Matt Gall, who plays the radical poet and lover Richard Miller, is sensational—a fine blend of stoic line delivery and unabashed farcicality.”–Ryan Luevano, Tin Pan L.A.
“Gall is appropriately naive and bombastic as the youthful poet brimming with ideologies.”– Jonas Schwartz, Theater Mania
“As Richard, talented 2009 Ithaca College grad Gall gives the pure-hearted idealist his earnest all.” – Steven Stanley, StageScene L.A.
“Gall does a good job of showing up the various shades of a young man coming to grips with his independence.” – Rob Stevens, Haines His Way
“Gall’s characterization of Richard is multifaceted and touching as he navigates the waters of adulthood. When he discovers that Muriel is still in love with him, his naivete and youthful exuberance make for tender and delightful moments.”– Melinda Schupmann, Arts in L.A.
New Country (Fair Trade Productions, Chicago, 2016)
“Matt Gall brilliantly handles the self-entitled Justin, but adds nuanced layers that almost make you feel sorry for the guy.” – Hailey G. Boyle, NEIU Independent
Misalliance (ShawChicago, 2016)
“Matthew Gall likewise shines as Bentley, displaying heretofore unseen reservoirs of passion and ingenuity.”– Paul Kuritz
Design for Living (Pride Films & Plays, Chicago, 2015)
“Casting for the triumvirate at the center is the true delight… Gall is boyishly charming and bounces off of and into his castmates as a puppy might when confronted with too much stimulus.”– Scotty Zacher, Chicago Theater Beat
“Their reward—and ours—is a uniformly excellent ensemble of actors led by Kevin Webb, Carmen Molina and Matthew Gall… who invite us to laugh at the artifice of their personae while never ignoring the passion that engages our immediate affections.”– Mary Shen Barnidge, Windy City Times
“Kevin Webb’s Leo and Matthew Gall’s Otto seem far more into one another than either is interested in Carmen Molina’s Gilda. The boys’ discovery of this fact… is fun to watch, especially given both actors’ flair for articulate hysteria.”– Zac Thompson, Chicago Reader
“Webb and Gall are a wonderful comedic pair, sharing a chemistry that makes their scenes together an absolute joy.”– Christopher Kidder-Mostrom, NewCity Stage
