"Kaboom" - Cherry Lane Theater

    "Kaboom is supplied with a wonderfully animated cast, all of whom seem practiced and comfortable in the art of comedy. They have perfect timing for delivering a punchline and waiting patiently for the hilarity to ripple through the audience. But most importantly, the actors seem to be having a good time with their roles. The production has an infectious energy, and feels very much at home in the New York Fringe Festival."

"The Higher Education of Khalid Amir" - Midtown International Theatre Festival

    "Under Craig J. George's facile direction... But particularly worthy of note are Fico as the nutty FBI man and Hollinger as a zany television star."
    --- Backstage

    "Standouts in the supporting cast include Tyler Hollinger as Barry Overdrive, the über-narcissist TV talking head Sam Champion/Rush Limbaugh hybrid."

"As You Like It" - Orlando Shakespeare Theatre

    "Tyler Hollinger matches his Rosalind with a sweet, boyish Orlando - a hero and a heroine who are masculine and feminine both."
    --- Orlando Sentinel

    "Newcomer Tyler Hollinger's goofy portrayal of the lovesick Orlando is charming. But his more formidable portrayal as the outcast brother is authentic. His rollicking wrestling match was the highlight of the evening. I thoroughly enjoyed the comedic take on the scene and was thankful I was not in the front row..."

"The Blue Carbuncle with Sherlock Holmes & The Gift of the Magi"

    "Jodie Bentley and Tyler Hollinger manage to avoid easy sentimentality and find the camaraderie and love, with an undercurrent of erotic passion, that bind O. Henry's famous romantic pair."
    --- Nancy Ellen Shore, BACK STAGE

    "Solid, sincere playing by Tyler Hollinger... complete the story. It is deceptively simple to watch, hiding extremely well done technique-much like the original story."

"Swim Shorts 3"
    JOE THE LIFEGUARD

    "Swim Shorts 3 is a mini vacation romp at the roof pool atop the Holiday Inn Midtown. With great energy... An engaging company of actors brings marvelous vigor to these compact plays, but the evening as a whole is quite enjoyable and makes rich use of the surroundings-where else do you get to see a play while reclining poolside in a chaise lounge?

    It starts off quite strongly with Joe the Lifeguard, a marvelously funny piece of screwball comedy that is well-served by the dense surfer dignity of Tyler Hollinger's lifeguard ... and at a perfect pace where I was clear on what was happening but never got ahead of the piece to question its logic."

"Committed"
    MEN ARE PIGS

    "Hollinger seems particularly comfortable in this style. With a performance that is both heartfelt and humorous, he switches seamlessly from wounded puppy to man-on-the-prowl. It's very easy to sympathize with these lovable losers - not to mention feel compelled to set them up, no matter how piggy they've become.

    "Hollinger and Mannix stand out as their heartless girlfriends string them along and break their hearts.

"The Delicate Business of Boy and Miss Girl"
    "...other standout performances come from Tyler Hollinger (Venture Capitalist), but the ensemble should be commended, because this is truly a wonderful team effort from Odyssey. This play deserves an off-Broadway run to showcase the depth of the play, the production itself, and its cast."

"Shakespeare's R&J"
    "Tyler Hollinger, who mainly played Mercutio, Friar Lawrence, and Lady Capulet, and Jeremy Johnson who played Tybalt, the Nurse, and Lord Capulet were believable, both as these characters, and as students attempting to act these roles."

"Last Sunday in June"
    "The evening is capped by the ... appearance of Tyler Hollinger's bare-chested hunk."
    --- Carolyn Clay, Boston Phoenix
    "...(Hollinger's) obligatory appearance as the shirtless hunk proves to be brightest in the bunch."
    --- Robert Nesti, Boston EDGE
    "Tyler Hollinger, also a polished veteran of this summer's R&J, pulls off a buff cameo as the requisite body beautiful. Mr. Hollinger, who adorns the company's posters and postcards, makes a sweet, harmless hunk."
    --- Beverly Creasey, Theatre Mirror
"Fools In Love"
    "Stellar! Astonishing! Captivating! Across the board, the massive cast captures the sense of their Elizabethan lines. Most use the text to shape their characters hitting active words, using a wide vocal range which makes the show more comprehensible to listen to then many "Sophisticated" stabs at the bard. Leaves Kids Hungry for Shakespeare!"
    --- Variety
    "Goldest Oldie of them all. I have seen a few productions of A Midsummer's Night Dream beginning with Peter Brooks in 1971. On film I have seen Mickey Rooney as Puck, Calista Flockhart as Helena and Rupert Everrett as Oberon. But never has it been clearer to me than when I watched FOOLS IN LOVE."
    --- Anita Gates, New York Times
    "Fools in Love succeeds because the cast is having such a good time that their enthusiasm is infectious!"
    --- Frank Schreck, New York Post
    "Beats the Puck out of most competing adult productions! Elegant! A most rare vision! A play that starts with a running jump and ends in a laughing heap."
    --- Time Out Starred Critics Circle
    "An Exuberant doo-wop musical production. The treat begins before curtain time in the lobby...All the performers are first rate! This is one of the better entertainements for children to come our way."
