Death of a Salesman at Hartford Stage
Max performed as Happy Loman, opposite Peter Jacobson, Adrienne Krstansky, and Samuel H. Levine, in Death of a Salesman at Hartford Stage. Directed by Melia Bensussen.
"Katz's Happy is a used car salesman, a snake oil peddler who uses his charming smile to pave the road of everyone's destruction." — Midbrow
"Samuel H. Levine as Biff and Max Katz as Happy do very well with notoriously difficult roles, [and] behave believably like brothers, impatiently sparring with each other." — Hartford Courant
"As Happy, the ideal Max Katz brings style and an almost smarmy kind of charm to his part that makes him completely believable... as a lady killer." — Zander Opper
"Max Katz finely imbues the character of Happy with the self-deluding demeanor and restlessness of his father." — Stu on Broadway
"Katz's timing as the utterly unserious, but somehow successful son, Happy, is a thing of beauty." — Kimolee Eryn
Try/Step/Trip at Under The Radar Festival
As a part of the Under The Radar Festival, Max performed as Steve in the New York premiere of Dahlak Brathwaite’s Try/Step/Trip, a concept musical rooted in hip-hop and embodied through the choreographic language of step. Directed by Roberta Uno.
Link to the feature in:
“Max Katz, playing the odd man out Steve, shows himself to be an excellent comedian both in body and delivery, easily shifting posture and demeanor when he plays the public defender.” — A Work Unfinishing
“The ensemble cast, including…Max Katz,…delivers performances that feel raw, urgent, and deeply human.” — The Garnette Report
“Max Katz as Steve and…[the cast]…move fluidly among multiple roles, their commitment total, their transformations seamless, lending the piece a sense of communal storytelling rather than star-driven display. — TheaterScene.net
"An incendiary performance exquisitely executed by a multigifted ensemble who expose Brathwaite and Uno’s collaborative vision in an often disturbing but always necessary light. Essential wartime viewing." — Roger Guenveur Smith (Do The Right Thing, Malcolm X)
