BLACK STACHE!
'Special praise is to be given to Joel Reuben Ganz as the piece’s villain, Black Stache. He slinks and slashes his way across the stage like the best of the panto antagonists (aren’t the bad guy parts always the most fun?)."

OTHER DESERT CITIES. JON ROBIN BAITZ. PORTLAND CENTER STAGE
“It’s a tough piece, and the gradual shift in tone has to be handled carefully, but director TImothy Bond has assembled a wonderful cast and directed them brilliantly. Every member of the cast of five is at the top of their form.
Trip(a show stealing Joel Reuben Ganz) is the comic relief in his Warhol-inspired graphic tee.
Willamette Week
Her brother, Trip (Joel Reuben Ganz), a happy go lucky reality tv producer, despite his shallow trappings, feels more deep and recognizable, possibly thanks to Ganz’s magnetic, self-deprecating performance.
PQ monthly
Joel Reuben Ganz as the employed but still kind of screw up younger brother is very, very funny indeed, and he is given some of the funniest lines. He also gathers steam and strength as the laughs fall away.
Portland Theater Scene
"Joel Reuben Ganz seems to be all charm and smiles as her younger brother, Trip; and he gets a lot of easy humor early on, but we get to see how damaged he is, and he doesn’t always take the positions the other characters want him to; Ganz has some powerful moments in the second act and he does them full justice.”

-In this production, however, it felt as though Joel Reuben Ganz connects most effectively with the playwright’s sentiment. Brother Trip has been a thankless supporting role in other productions, but not so here.

"On the upside: Joel Reuben Ganz’s agreeably flustered manservant, shooting exasperated asides to the audience at every turn."

"And in Ganz, the production has as ardent and as ferociously stylized a leading man as the master himself might have wished."

"Kilby, though, is pure tiger or ape or something dangerous, and Joel Reuben Ganz gives an appropriately intimidating performance. The particular cut of the jeans and black T-shirt provided by costume designer Diana Khoury emphasizes thuggish muscle, but Ganz captures the bruising, baroque quality of the vulgar dialogue, as well."
