Jean Lowerison - SDGLN.com (San Diego Gay and Lesbian News)

Jess Yacovelle - FINE Magazine
“I can’t say enough how wonderful the actors were... Kern McFadden, the philandering husband - totally believable... yet still likable...”

A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN - The Pearl Theatre, NYC
“ T. Stedman Harder, the Standard Oil Magnate, [is] played to a tee by Kern McFadden. McFadden’s mixture of ire and confusion... ...literally knocks Harder off his feet.”
Sherri Rase, Q On Stage

THE MISANTHROPE - The Pearl Theatre, NYC

-Yvonne Korshak, Let’s Talk Off-Broadway

AS YOU LIKE IT / MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING - The Great River Shakespeare Festival, MN
“But one of the real tour de force performances comes from Kern McFadden, who delivers Touchstone to perfection. He is commanding, smooth, naughty, playful, and wildly funny in turns, seeming to wrap the stage, the cast and the audience around him in a magic cloak. Bravo!”
- Frances Edstrom, Winona Post, Winona, MN
“In the small but pivotal role as the schemer Borachio, Kern McFadden has the simple determination and fierce eyes that seal his authenticity.”
- Graydon Royce, Minneapolis Star Tribune
