SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION
By John Guare
Keegan Theatre
"Flan Kitteridge, played by President of the National Conservatory of the Dramatic Arts, Ray Ficca is the Max Bialystock of the play. Ficca hits every comedic note with finesse!"
Maryland Theatre Guide (2016)
SLEEPING AND WAKING
By Chris Stezin
Charter Theatre
“It’s another subtly rich performance: Ficca has applied sheer physical-comedy craft to make something satisfyingly textured out of a part that might seem underwritten on another actor’s shoulders.”

OTHELLO
By William Shakespeare
Wayside Theatre
"Elliot Dash and Ray Ficca remake themselves almost beyond recognition to access the strange dynamic in this fateful pair."
-The Culpeper Star Exponent (2006)
BARNUM
Book by Mark Bramble, Lyrics by Michael Stewart,
Music by Cy Coleman
Totem Pole Playhouse
"Broadway's three-time Tony award winning musical is a stupendous example of the performing arts and a tour de force for its leading man and artistic director, Ray Ficca in the role of P.T. Barnum. This man, who is on stage throughout most of the play, not only acts, sings, dances, he walks a tight rope. And does it all effortlessly.”

TONY 'N’ TINA’S WEDDING
By Artificial Intelligence
Hanna Theatre
“Among the visitors, Lisa Ray's Tina and
Ray Ficca's Tony take parts that were designed to be retreads from Grease and,
with their high-spirited animal magnetism, render the battling marrying couple
as a Prego-flavored Kate and Petruccio.”
-Cleveland Scene (2000)

LAUGHTER ON THE 23rd FLOOR
By Neil Simon
The Keegan Theatre
“Ficca’s Max Prince is fascinating to watch, even
when he is self-destructing. His take on Marlon Brando playing Julius Caesar with a little Stanley Kowalski mixed in is worth the price of admission alone.”
-The Washingtonian (January 2012)

The Washington Post Review
HOW TO WRITE A NEW BOOK FOR THE BIBLE By Bill Cain Round House Theatre
“Ray Ficca is deft with the low-key shenanigans. As Bill, his timing is easy and unforced, and Ficca is consistently charming and thoughtful, which are the play’s dominant key.”
-The Washington Post (March 2013)
PROOF
By David Auburn
1st Stage
"And Ficca imbues Robert with the booming personality of a renowned academic and the poignant conscience of an ailing father who makes it a point to jot down when he’s had a good day with his daughter."
DC Theatre Scene (2016)
