And a few more nice mentions for Stephen's work in All's Well That Ends Well":
"Whenever vigorous comrades-in-arms Mike Ryan, Larry Paulsen and Stephen Caffrey are onstage, the energy accelerates."

And this:
"At first I was disconcerted by the high seriousness of his approach, but by evening's end I'd bought it, not least because of the distinctive interpretations of three secondary roles: Allen Gilmore plays Parolles, the butt of Shakespeare's brutal humor, not as a bird-brained fp but as a brusque, well-spoken coward, while Larry Paulsen and Stephen Caffrey are cracker-crisp as the First and Second Lords."
Also a mention of "Bach at Leipzig":
"Messrs. Paulsen and Caffrey take center stage in "Bach in Leipzig," Itamar Moses' comico-historical fantasia about a sextet of ambition-ridden 18th-century organists who'll stop at nothing to land the cushy job of cantor at the Thomaskirche, the most prestigious church in town. I saw the 2005 Off-Broadway premiere, and while it had a starrier cast, this revival wrings as much laughter out of Mr. Moses' one-two jokes, many of which suggest Abbott and Costello rewritten by Tom Stoppard. I suspect that the author might well have encouraged the cast to tone it down a bit -- Art Manke's staging is broad to a fault -- but as Joe Bologna says in "My Favorite Year," "In my business, you never cut funny," and this production is funny from front to back."
