First review for “Midwinter Night’s Dream” 2023 at STNJ: “Dreams of Any Kind – Cold or Warm – Are Good Ones”

The first reviews are coming in for "A Midwinter Night's Dream" at Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey this winter, and audiences are warming up to the fun and romance playing out onstage. "Dreams of Any Kind – Cold or Warm – Are Good Ones" "I hope the theater brings it back winter after winter. It will become a treasure. The strength of the play is the acting.

REVIEWS: Red Velvet at STNJ

REVIEWS: Red Velvet at STNJ

BWW: ACT’s Christmas Carol “Alive with Magic”

Reviews, Theatre, ,

Broadway World Review: “Henry VIII at STNJ is Outstanding Theatre”

Reviews, Theatre, , ,
BroadwayWorld.com loved the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey's production of Shakespeare's Henry VIII: "The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey (STNJ) continues their triumphant season with one of the Shakespeare's rarely produced masterpieces, Henry VIII now onstage through November 9th. Tell a friend to tell a friend.... The staging and pacing of this epic play is absolutely flawless." With regard to David's performance in the title role, BWW was equally glowing: "The cast is ideally suited to their roles. David Foubert masters his role as a very robust, yet charming Henry. While Foubert succeeds at portraying this commanding character, he brings…

New York Times Review: “Pageantry and Sizzling Romance in ‘Henry VIII’”

New York Times Review: “Pageantry and Sizzling Romance in ‘Henry VIII’”

Reviews, Theatre, ,
David's current work at Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey (as King Henry VIII) received a great mention from Michael Sommers in the New York Times (October 24 print edition): ..."The actors portray their characters with conviction and vigor. An always confident, at times surly Henry, David Foubert plays the king as a handsome though mercurial devil who passionately believes in whatever he is thinking at the moment."
