“Lead actors outstanding…”

“I can’t think of a better pair of actors to play these twins…”

— Davis Enterprise

“Complementing the master/servant duo is a personal favorite from the area, Ian Hopps.”

“…Hopps' grasp of Shakespeare and natural comedic talent make him a joy to watch and a draw to patrons.”

— Broadway World

“Over the decades, I’ve seen more than 50 actors, male and female, play Puck, and Hopps is one of the best I’ve seen. He’s that good. You can’t take your eyes off him whenever he appears onstage.”

— Capital Public Radio

“Everyone is wonderful, with perhaps the outstanding performance given by Ian Hopps as Puck… He is the character you cannot take your eyes off whenever he is on stage.”

— Davis Enterprise

“Not surprisingly, the inimitable Ian Hopps stole the show… As always, Hopps inhabits his character so thoroughly that you don't know where one ends and the other begins.”

— Broadway World

“And keep your eye on actor Ian Hopps, Sacramento’s go-to guy in when it comes to playing impulsive young hotheads. He gives another incendiary performance…”

— Capital Public Radio

“It is one of those “not-to-be-missed” productions… there’s not a weak link in the cast. Everyone is at the top of their game.”

— Davis Enterprise

“The large, nine-member cast is completely captivating, with the tempo and tension carefully orchestrated by director Michael Stevenson.”

— Sacramento News & Review

“Ian Hopps is kinetic as the firebrand Mortimer…”

— Sacramento News & Review

“Ian Hopps gives a spectacularly eager performance as Mortimer, the lovesick Catholic martyr.”

— Broadway World

“Strongest among these is… Ian Hopps (a perennial festival favorite) as Mary’s ardent supporter Mortimer… Hopps gives an especially strong performance.”

— Davis Enterprise

“Hopps is one of those actors who can make an impression slumped in a drug-induced stupor, or showing his loving, if inept, feelings for his daughter. He has that certain ‘something’ as an actor that makes the audience relax and know they will see a good show.”

— Davis Enterprise

“The production is outstanding on many performance levels… Ian Hopps makes the annoying, aspiring writer Con continually watchable…”

— The Sacramento Bee

“Hopps made a big impression in Davis Shakespeare Ensemble’s “Bells are Ringing” last summer and does not disappoint in this production, filled with passion, self-deprecation and anguish…”
