Review: OUT OF CHARACTER at Berkshire Theatre Group
by Marc Savitt - Jul 6, 2025

Over the course of the immensely entertaining and enjoyable, frenetically paced, roughly hour and a half presentation (without intermission), I smiled, nodded, laughed a great deal, cried to a much lesser degree, and felt seen, heard, and understood. At first, I attributed this to my being, Jewish, creative, neurodivergent, living an “alternative lifestyle”, and wearing an invisible pageant sash that reads “Miss Understood”. In processing the flood of overwhelming emotion post curtain with both my plus one and Mr. Stachel himself, I came to realize that this, gentle readers, is precisely why OUT OF CHARACTER rises to the level of overwhelmingly powerful near brilliance in a theatrical production.

Review: OUT OF CHARACTER at Theater J
by David Friscic - Jan 16, 2025

The solo show Out of Character (now being produced as a joint production between Theater J and the Mosaic Theater) introduces us to the talented Tony award -winning actor and vocalist Ari’el Stachel (Broadway’s The Band’s Visit) ---Mr. Stachel also wrote this performance piece. The first part of this solo show portrays Mr. Stachel as a successful actor and musical performer (with a thrilling and evocative voice). As an upstage projection is shown, Mr. Stachel’s nuanced acting style is on full throttle as we witness him winning his Tony Award ----only to plunge into the depths of his anxiety and obsessive -compulsive disorder.
