Israel Gutierrez

 

'Laughter On The 23rd Floor'"' is undeniably funny...Mr. Simon's alter ego, Lucas, is the new guy, the youngster hoping to become a permanent part of the team. Israel Gutierrez, who plays Lucas, is well cast (he looks like every actor who has ever played a character based on the young Neil Simon)...has a strong undercurrent of nostalgia, of youthful-paradise lost..."
-Anita Gates, The New York Times, "Laughter On The 23rd Floor"

"'Laughter' is Simon playing for laughs, and there's plenty of funny going on in Room 2303...There's the newcomer narrator, Lucas (Simon's character), played with a nebbishy sense of wonder by Israel Gutierrez..."
-Peter D. Kramer, The Journal News, "Laugher On The 23rd Floor"

As the nitwit prospective son-in-law, Israel Gutierrez shows up wearing knickers, argyle socks and a fabulously fatuous grin."
-Sylviane Gold, New York Times. "The Imaginary Invalid"

"Israel Gutierrez's nerdy take on the dim-witted young doctor, Thomas, demonstrates focus and attention to timing."
-Peter D. Kramer, The Journal News. "The Imaginary Invalid"

"Smart and senstive...a sweet and biting production..."
Anita Gates, New York Times. "Kimberly Akimbo"

"Israel Gutierrez is quite the find...and the young actor's portrayal is never less then thoroughly engaging and matter-of-factly empathetic."
-Bruce Apar, North County News. "Kimberly Akimbo"

"Israel Gutierrez as Jeff is a beguillingly lovable suitor and gamester."
David Begelman, Connecticut Post. "Kimberly Akimbo"

"Israel Gutierrez delivers his challenging role excitingly... Mr. Gutierrez’s performance as Lorenzo is thoughtful and personal."
-Chloe Demrovsky, Show Business Weekly. "To Whom It May Concern"

"Gutierrez is good as the shy and bullied Lorenzo, especially as he begins to blossom during the unaccustomed freedom given to him by his alter-ego."
-Byrne Harrison, Stage Buzz. "To Whom It May Concern"

"Gutierrez, a talented young actor, attacks the role with honesty and courage. By the play's end, Lafarhoff is clearly changed, and those in the audience may have the intellectual—if not the cathartic—awareness that they should be, too."
-David Ian Lee, NY Theatre.com. "To Whom It May Concern"

"Gutierrez delivers Lorenzo’s angst and logic with an ease that is engaging and intriguing...a pleasure to watch, and I look forward to seeing them both again."
-Tulis McCall, Usher Nonsense. "To Whom It May Concern"

"The Broadway produced, fully choreographed runway show by Ryan Stana, combined video, music and dance featuring ensemble members: Tyler Adcock, Israel Gutierrez, Laura Iberg, Aimee Knebel, Robert Moore and Kelli Stryker. Guests enjoyed the magic of Broadway Theater with energetic performances by Daniel Levine, Kristy Cates, Nikki Renee Daniels and Matt Farnsworth."
-Betty Moore, Style Saint Louis. "Macy’s Stars On Broadway"

"Another noteworthy turn is delivered by Israel Gutierrez, a young man who does a very creditable job portraying the 97-year-old poet, both in mannerisms and philosophy."
-Mark Bretz, KDHX. "Night of the Iguana"

"However, congratulations are in order for Israel Gutierrez (Nonno), who effectively and affectionately brought to life the role of a worldly man trying to finish one last poem before he died. Most of the time comic, other times incredibly sad and touching, Gutierrez was able to force the emotion out of the audience that befits a Tennessee Williams play."
-Lanz Christian Banes, The Journal. "Night of the Iguana"
