Here's What People are Saying About Tom Slot's Acting:

 

"Tom Slot plays Lucas in a poetically drug-induced mixture of touching sentiment and foregone cynicism."
-- Karen Tortora-Lee, The Fab Marquee reviewing Tom Slot's performance in Tell It To Me Slowly

 

"a triumphant piece...a surefire hit... prime time material...fabulously imaginative and at the same time completely believable."
-- Hannah Gold, nytheatre.com reviewing Tom Slot's performance in Tell It To Me Slowly

 

"Four Stars."
-- Time Out Magazine, reviewing Tom Slot's performance in Tell It To Me Slowly

 

"Tom Slot was an impressive Jonathan Harker. He easily showed the anguish of being torn between the love of his life and the lure of the unknown."
-- Carol Lewis, Frederick Gazette

 

"..several stand-out performances, one of which was Slot as Teiresias. Slot plays the old, blind prophet with so much realism and anger that I had to remind myself that he isn't, in reality, old and blind."
-- Valerie McCahan, Loyola Greyhound

 

"Squinting, shaking, and hollering, Tom Slot has great fun countering Oedipus in his role as the blind and sickly prophet, Teiresias, during the highlight of the play. Dressed in jangly, tiny bells and an animal's hide, he develops a perfect, taunting rapport with the title character."
-- Mike Perone, Loyola Greyhound
