Uncle Vanya, Pearl Theatre Co., NYC 2014

UNCLE VANYA
Chris Mixon's Vanya is one of the production's unalloyed successes, a plain, unloved workhorse who has wasted his life. --David Barbour, Lighting & Sound America ------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Mixon's Vanya will strike a chord with anyone. Mixon has a good grasp on the humor, yet captures the poignancy of the heart-wrenching finale. When he erupts, it's clear why the play is tagged a tragi-comedy. --Elyse Sommer, Curtain Up |

THE FOREIGNER The star, however, is Chris Mixon, whose sad-sack Charlie blossoms into a witty raconteur before people who appreciate him for the first time in his life... it’s a comic tour de force. --Brandon Griggs, The Salt Lake Tribune |

The Sneeze, Pearl Theatre Co., NYC, 2010
THE SNEEZE
Chris Mixon causes a ticklish pantomime of flying nasal debris, mortification, apology and political death. The vignette earns laughs as physical comedy and as a swipe at a rigidly hierarchical society.
--David Rooney, NY Times
The chameleon like Mixon goes to ridiculous lengths. If one actor stands out, it is a marvelously manic Mixon making his Pearl Theatre Company debut. --Simon Saltzman, Curtain Up
The highlight is "The Evils of Tobacco," a lecture that detours into regrets of a life wasted. Mixon twitches exquisitely, and his ruminations are comedic, wistful, and, yes, Chekhovian. --Marc Miller, Backstage
In the monologue The Evils of Tobacco, Mixon creates a tour de force—a bittersweet offering. --Diana Barth, The Epoch Times
