Parts One and Two
by Tony Kushner

“...a triumph of staging and performance.”
Don Aucoin, The Boston Globe
Elliot Norton Award WINNER
BEST PRODUCTION
Elliot Norton Award Nomination
Outstanding Featured Performance
"I could cry just thinking about the performances. Eddie Shields, in particular, was a tour-de-force marvel as Prior, as was Zach Fike Hodges as Louis, who had the daunting task of remaining relatively likable while behaving in some very unlikable ways...one of the greatest casts I've seen on a Boston stage."
Christopher Ehlers, EDGE Media Network
“Hodges captures Louis' maddening intellectualizing but never loses sight of his emotional conflict.”
Jules Becker, South End News
"Zach Fike Hodges perfectly conveys Louis as both sensitive and neurotic.”
Kevin T. Baldwin, METRMAG
"Hodges weaves impulsively in out of the five stages of grief"
The Sleepless Critic

“Hodges has something of an unenviable task in playing Louis Ironson — a character marked by neuroses, destructive choices, and immaturity at odds with the adult he pretends to be. He chooses to let those contradictions shine forth, and the resultant mess of a person is fascinating to watch.”
-Sam Marchiony, MEDIUM
“As the intellectually acute but emotionally frayed Louis, Zach Fike Hodges does a terrific job, making him at once vulnerable, loving and appealing, and at the same time, pathetic. His eloquence in a diversionary over-the-top speech about democracy late in the show – in a sizable Kushner word-salad – is noteworthy.”

praise for
by Tadeusz Słobodzianek
directed by Igor Golyak
“It is difficult to single out standout performances when this production hinges so much on complex and seamless collaboration. However… Zach Fike Hodges [is] especially compelling in dual roles…” - The Sleepless Critic
“Golyak’s boundless creativity has made Arlekin synonymous with theatrical innovation.” - Don Aucoin, The Boston Globe
“The acting is indescribably sublime, each actor both a searing individual and perfect ensemble member.” - Shelley A. Sackett, Jewish Journal
“[A] masterpiece of direction, acting, and stagecraft.” - Kitty Drexel, New England Theatre Geek
“No one can take his audience on an emotional and artistic roller coaster like Igor Golyak…With “Our Class,” he introduces us to characters we initially relate to and bond with, spins an artistically ingenious cocoon, and then tells a tale that rips our heart to shreds and leaves us too overwhelmed to even speak.” - Shelley A. Sackett, Theatre Mirror
“The excellent ensemble — featuring Gigi Watson, Gene Ravvin, Kirill Rubtsov, Deborah Martin, Jeremy Beazlie, Zach Fike Hodges, Chulpan Khamatova, Richard Topol, Ilia Volok, and Ryan Czerwonko — navigates complicated emotional terrain as they portray young adults who start out loving and then destroying one another.”
- Jacquinn Sinclair, WBUR

The ensemble of theatrical talent and vocalists here was tightly knit together and all were at the top of their game... [a] once in a lifetime musical experience celebrating the work of the musical genius that is Jonathan Larson...
Larson’s beloved work moved the audience to tears, laughter and vigorous applause after each musical moment. The lush yet biting orchestrations by Sean O’Loughlin were played with sublime resonance and clarity by the National Symphony Orchestra aided by a top-notch group of theatrical talent.

Zach joins the cast of Bedlam’s ARCADIA off-Broadway
“[a] heavenly revival…high marks for this production. Stoppard and Bedlam repay the audience’s investment of patience and attention with ample dividends: a profound exploration of the human condition augmented with playful comedy, poignant romance and bitter irony.”
