@ The Wayside Theatre

Having seen other Shakespeare productions,

even at the Globe Theatre at Stratford-upon-Avon,

I have to proclaim this as a worthy rival.

Elliot Dash as Othello has a barrel chested laugh

that is not to be missed.

Kevin Hamilton - NOSPAMaboutnets

Elliot Dash’s stage presence as Othello is undeniable; it demands instant attention.

And working from a magisterial foundation of implacable dignity and graciousness,

he creates a character rooted in reason, but afraid to look too deeply into his own heart.

His ultimate decline into jealousy and madness is not abrupt or forced but gradual

and immutable, as he takes great care to avoid the ravages of a wild imagination,

but fails miserably.

- Todd Guill - The Winchester Star

Othello

Elizabeth The Queen

Elliot Dash as Captain Armin attracts attention without

trying to. In this small role, one is drawn to the beautiful

voice (possibly the next James Earl Jones) and the

formidable majesty of his presence.

Christmas Carol

Hank Williams: Lost Highway

You don’t announce “Fiddler...” before you have a Tevya,

or a “Mame” without a Mame. Just so, there’s no point in

planning “Othello” until you have the right Othello and Iago

locked in. Director Warner Crocker is fortunate in his choice,

for Elliot Dash and Ray Ficca remake themselves almost

beyond recognition to access the strange dynamic in this

fateful pair.

The Caribbean joy of Elliot Dash's fruit vendor,

amplified when the character reappears as the

Ghost of Christmas Present, arrives in steady

high waves.

The Washington Post - Nelson Pressley

Dash is larger than life -- in all ways

as he towers over Scrooge physically

and dominates his scenes.

Tim Plant - Metroweekly

Dash (The Ghost of Christmas Present)

shows some extraordinary talent as he

struts about the stage on stilts.

A dynamic voice that steals the show and is new to

the Wayside stage is Elliot Dash, who plays Tee-Tot,

an Alabama street musician who influenced Hank’s

work. His strong voice dominates as he sings

“This is the Way I Do” and “The Blood Done

Sign My Name.”

Driving Miss Daisy

@ Chevy Chase Players

That transformation is abetted by Elliot Dash's sterling Hoke.

His character's independence, innate goodness and devotion

shine through, leavened with humor and touches of obstinacy.

Driving Miss Daisy

@ The Wayside Theatre

Elliot Dash's performance as Hoke Coleburn was magnificent.

Although too young to play the part of a man of advanced years,

Mr. Dash's affectations of an older man were believeable and

never exaggerated. His physical size was a nice contrast to

the other physically smaller characters. He was capable in

playing both the comical and the serious sides of Hoke and

his gradual change from being a subservient driver to Miss Daisy's

'friend' was well done.

The British Embassy Players / The Ruby Griffith Awards

Elliot Dash’s Hoke makes a comfortable match for this Daisy,

driving her around even as he is occasionally driven by her.

Between the black chauffeur in the South of 1948 and the

man of patience awaiting the Civil Rights era, Mr. Dash wears

the role like a comfortable shoe.

Maggie Lawrence - The Star Exponent

(Elliot Dash) works at putting himself into the role.

He effectively portrays Hoke as he ages over a

25-year period, and he delivers some masterful lines

in scenes in which he and Potts play off each other

beautifully.
