The Florida Repertory Theatre

"As good as Damato is doing dog tricks, Chris Clavelli almost upstages her in a trio of supporting roles-hyper masculine fellow dog owner Tom, socialite Phyllis (yep in drag) and gender bending Leslie. Although quite possibly insane ("Now am I a man or a woman?") brings screams of laughter from the audience, his Tom soars to sexed up heights that drives home how the dogs in the story are just stand ins for the owners various issues. Sylvia and Bowser finish there moment of passion (I'll break it up! Too late they're locked.") Tom takes out a cigarette, lights it, takes a long drag, then grips his crotch. It's a sight." Chris Silk

"Chris Clavelli is a bright spot whenever he is on stage. The audience loved Mr. Clavelli so much that on opening night he received well deserved exit applause whenever his character left the stage." Nancy Stetson

"Mr. Clavelli is always interesting in how he recreates himself onstage. In Alan, he gives us a man whose quirky and philosophical, given to seeing the world with a decidedly dfferent slat, And with the perfect comedic timing, he effortlessly tosses off one funny line after another." Nancy Stetson
Florida Weekly

Virginia Stage Company

"Chris Clavelli is wonderful throughout, in a number of roles, each one funnier and more audacious than the one before. A brilliantly witty character actor, he turns in the finest comedic Stage Company performance in several seasons." Robert P. Arthur,
