Selected Critical Praise for Meshaun Arnold

Praise for his performance in Medal of Honor Rag – The M Ensemble

“…what makes Medal of Honor Rag must-see theater is the performance by Arnold…as D.J. So memorable as the great ballplayer Oscar Charleston in the Mosaic Theatre's production of Cobb, Arnold owns the stage by virtue of his nuanced unforgettable performance. D.J.'s quick intelligence, his incendiary instability, his winning charm, his suppurating grief - Arnold finds and feels and conveys it all.”

Christine Dolen, Miami Herald Theatre Critic – Pulitzer Prize Juror

Praise for his performance in Strands – The M Ensemble

“Most unforgettable [is] the versatile Arnold, proud and fierce and lost.”

Christine Dolen, Miami Herald Theatre Critic – Pulitzer Prize Juror

Praise for his performance in Strands – The M Ensemble

“Arnold is just a joy to watch. His Roger is loose, funny, ever ready to go with the flow. But when things turn bloody, his lapse into shock, routine and edgy intensity is the physical embodiment of all the horror that he -- and we -- have witnessed.”
