​
"Matthew Suwalski, a second year MFA Dramatic Media student who played the new neighborhood addict Kenny, stole the show with his well-defined characterization and his comedic pace. Whether it be just through a line, a gesture, or even just a pause, Suwalski delivered some of the play’s most hilarious moments through his characters’ carefree yet on-edge personality."
-Lara Strydom
- 2017, Review in Stillpoint Literary Magazine for Performance in Freddie Ashley's Cabaret (2017):
​
"One of the nights biggest surprise stars was Matthew Suwalski’s performance of Herr Schultz. Suwalski captured the innocence of what it would have been like living in Berlin as a German-Jew in the late 1920’s. My heart was breaking as I watched the musical progress from the lively parties of the Kit Kat Club to the historical reality concerning the rise of the Nazi party, and how it tore apart lives that were meant to be together."
