Grove Theatre Center

"Don't miss this one..you never stop being knocked out by how many ways a well-written play can be interpreted."  Travis Holder

"Larson convincingly evokes the psychological scars and tormented legacy of the character."  Philip Brandes. LA Times

"Convincing, emotionally tuned performance."  Lovell Estell III, Stage Raw

Encore!  Producer's Award Winner Hollywood Fringe Festival

Complex Theatre

"James (played by Eric Larson) radiates vulnerability, as well as an unexpected power driven by desire.  Larson is uniquely able to balance these traits effectively and with patience.  Furthermore, the chemistry between Larson and Shein (Sarah) is enviable.  The truth in their performances fills the lungs with gasps of anticipation."  Mirage Thrames, Bitter Lemons.

Drama-Logue Award Winner - Actor

Cast-at-the-Circle Theatre

"Rick (Eric Larson) is given a solid patina of impatience and pseudo callousness, covering up his puppy dog insecurity.  Performance is fascinating and rich in detail and gives the role a depth lesser actors might not have been able to plumb."  T.H. McCullough, Drama-Logue. 

Lounge Theatre - Hollywood

"Konstantulakis and Larson turn in splendid performances...they cannot be commended enough for their acting work...they command the stage and hold us in their magical spell from beginning to end."  Willard Manus, Total Theater

"The Battle of the Sexes rages on during the Los Angeles premiere of FIFTY WORDS by Michael Weller, featuring the remarkable actors Olga Konstantulakis and Eric Larson".   "...the intensity of this play could never work without the perfect couple to play the couple."  Shari Barrett, Broadway World - Los Angeles 

The Odyssey Theatre - Los Angeles

"Kudos to Portnoy and Larson for really diving into their roles with extraordinary gusto."  Elaine Mura - Splash Magazine

"In particular the cast do the most fundamental thing needed in any play, but especially one where people talk about TRUTH - they know exactly what they are saying, and say it.  Every word.  That sounds easy, but is not.  Not on stage, nor for that matter off of it...so kudos to the cast."  Zahir Blue, Night Tinted Glasses - Los Angeles 

905 Cole Theatre - Los Angeles

"The small but mighty cast includes the dynamic Eric Larson."

"This incredible show is currently being brought to life by the talented actors of Thunderbird Garage Productions...all of whom equally shine and expertly carry this riveting show."

"Go see GOD OF CARNAGE!"  magicwithmelissa 

"Four stand-out performances."  Guy Picot - Gia On The Move

"...Larson draws laughs from the audience with comedic timing and well placed silences, adding sardonic texture to the baseline of ire."

"...overpowering portrayals of disgust, resentment, and shock."  Amanda L. Andrei - Seefest
