Central Square Theater, 2026

“Throughout, Graetz and Melendy make no missteps as they walk, run, and jump through each crazy predicament. Neither actor loses focus, carrying out the mayhem without going up on a single line. […] Graetz is terrific as a safari-jacket-wearing explorer on a visit to the tombs of Egypt.”

• R. Scott Reedy, BroadwayWorld

“Graetz’s [portrayal of] Twisden is an engaging mix of cynicism and melancholy and he underlines Lord Edgar’s brittle bravado.”

• David Greenham, The Arts Fuse

“[Director] Gammons hit the jackpot with Gabriel Graetz and Paul Melendy. Having followed their work up to this point, I knew exactly what to expect when the casting was announced— and still my expectations were completely exceeded. […] Graetz’s Jane is a deviously good portrayal, infused with a great deal of snarky wit and hilarity.”

• The Poplar Review

“[Paul Melendy] is finely matched by co-star Gabriel Graetz, who demonstrated some of that chemistry with Melendy last season in Featherbaby. Here, he proves himself every bit Melendy’s equal, matching his comic precision while bringing real emotional weight to the production’s unexpectedly moving final moments.”

• Chris Ehlers, Evening Transcript

"The best part of the production is watching Graetz and Melendy when their technique and commitment to craft are on full display.

• Jacquinn Sinclair, WBUR

Featherbaby

Graeter Boston Stage Company, 2025

“Graetz provides a thoughtful, empathetic look at Mason, reminding us of how many folks have probably found themselves in a situation that began as unwanted yet wound up becoming something far more…unexpected.”

• Kevin T. Baldwin, METR Mag

“Throughout the play, Graetz strikes just the right balance of camp and emotional depth, grounding his character in a way that feels relatable. Simply put, the guy really gets camp.”

• The Poplar Review

Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theatre, 2024

“One moment deserves honorable mention and that’s a hilarious song by Gabriel Graetz playing ‘Sally’s Baby’ who appears in the corner of the stage, dressed as an infant, and sings ‘Lullabye’ in baby-talk.  […] Graetz’s moment is the pinnacle. I wanted him to sing it twice.” 

• Gwenn Friss, Cape Cod Times

“Gabriel Graetz [plays] multiple roles, including a hysterical, yet wonderfully disturbing turn as a baby neglected by his dope fiend mother.”

• Steve Desroches, Provincetown Magazine
