DAVID BEATTY
THEATER
Written and Directed by David Beatty "Grocery Store Romance is a fast-paced, hilarious ride that I didn’t want to end. A relatable story about meeting, falling in love, and facing obstacles, it hits all the right notes with humor and heart."
"This was the funniest show I’ve seen in years! Good pacing, excellent transitions, serious and funny moments, (and when it was funny it was hilarious) GREAT CAST! What a perfect night of theater!"
"Such a sweet show! Really emotional, funny, moving. Lots of theatrics with just the most important stuff: great actors, compelling writing and super creative choices all around. So glad I saw it!"
"Looped" is LAUGH OUT LOUD funny. Julie Phillips will leave you in stitches with her outrageous and scandalous portrayal of Dame Talula Bankhead. Actors Jacob and Julie's platonic chemistry is gorgeous, hysterical and so wrong it's right. David Beatty is a genius of a director alongside Ross John Gosla who plays on and off stage-stage manager. I saw it THREE times in theatres and I can't wait to see it again! Sit in the front row, you'll thank me later. "
"David Beatty directs this Hollywood Fringe Show written and performed by Ross Gosla. Desert Warrior is a funny, heartfelt and grand scheme steeped in a personal epic. Ignoring his own gut feelings, Ross became an accidental tourist unwittingly thrust into an international conspiracy, thereby contorting his own personal narrative into a cautionary tale about the price to be paid for optically-challenged devotion in the pursuit of one's art."
"Dennis Kelly's play (Love and Money) is a modern morality tale about debt and desire, the high cost of living and the things we buy to fill up the void. True happiness is not just love, but an MFI kitchen as well."— The Guardian”
"In the first scene, we learn that David (a suitably prim and proper David Beatty, whose desperation is never too far from the surface) is a widower wrestling with his culpability in the suicide (or is it murder?) of his obsessive-compulsive wife, Jess." OC REGISTER
The eeriest thing about the first image in “The Cut” is how familiar a hooded figure in an orange jumpsuit has become. Mark Ravenhill’s authoritarian allegory has its sights trained as much on the present as on the not-so-distant future, which is how its stark U.S. premiere at Rude Guerrilla Theater Company plays out.
Ravenhill’s narrative is deliberately oblique. The title ostensibly concerns a government-sanctioned procedure, for which handcuffed John (the vivid David Beatty) is an obdurate applicant. He must first endure Paul (Bryan Jennings, atop his game), the civil servant who ensures that all bureaucratic mandates are in place before he administers The Cut..."
"Stepping into the sultry world of Tennessee Williams. David Beatty plays Mitch in the critically acclaimed UC Davis mainstage production of A Streetcar Named Desire—bringing a gritty, memorable intensity to one of American theater’s most legendary dramas."
"UC Davis presented a powerful staging of Tennessee Williams’ Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, A Streetcar Named Desire. The production brought a raw, haunting energy to the stage, capturing the sultry tension, fractured dreams, and timeless Southern Gothic drama of Williams’ most iconic characters."
"Chaos, comedy, and couture. David Beatty took the stage in Charles Mee's wildly athletic and cinematic play Big Love —bringing a sharp, dynamic presence to a massive, modern-day Greek tragedy about battle-of-the-sexes warfare."
