“Arredondo has no fear or ego when it comes to taking a role or a job, whether it be big or small. The arts are not a means to an end for him. The art is the point. The story is the goal. He is what theatre is at its best.” — American Theatre Magazine’s “Role Call: 6 Theatre Workers You Should Know”
“I do not believe it is possible for Dylan Arredondo to play it safe. His performances are compellingly fearless, showcasing boldly unbridled creativity. If a choice can be made that is more eccentric or more illuminating, he will always make it, with unwavering commitment. A performance from Dylan Arredondo is guaranteed to delight and impress you.” — Unprofessional Opinion’s “Callbacks”
“It has been quite a while since I’ve left a theater feeling truly energized by the power and presence of this unique art form. Three phrases kept rolling over in my mind as I made my way out of the Silver Spring Black Box: (1) This is what theater is all about. (2) As many people as possible should see this production. (3) What revolutionary work would Flying V be capable of accomplishing with more resources?” — DC Theater Arts, Astro Boy & the God of Comics, Flying V Theatre
“The laurels for this performance rest squarely on the shoulders of Dylan Arredondo as Benedick. His brash confidence, highly energetic character work, humorous delivery, and repartee with the audience all combined into a stellar rendition of a character that has been played by many a great actor. I have many favorite moments from the evenings revelries…” — MD Theatre Guide, Much Ado About Nothing, Chesapeake Shakespeare Company
“…Dylan Arredondo imbues Tom with humor, vulnerability, bombast, and a wry embarrassed fondness of his remembered self. Arredondo, as Tom, makes genuine connections with the other characters, is tenderly protective of his sister, conspiratorial with his co-worker, and even gently teasing with his mother in a particular sequence.” — DC Theater Arts, The Glass Menagerie, Rep Stage
“Arredondo’s Philinte, in the course of the play, will be adored, flattered, transformed into royalty, and repeatedly denied the affection of his beloved Eliante. He endures it all with a smile, a gift for physical comedy, and infectious good nature.” — DC Theater Arts, The School for Lies, Constellation Theatre Company
“These two actors play wonderfully off of each other, and have created an insane comedy worthy of Laurel and Hardy. They both have that level of oddly graceful physicality in these performances. It was a hoot and laugh-out-loud funny but also unexpectedly tender.” — MD Theatre Guide, The Decameron, Synetic Theater
“Dylan Arredondo, as Senator Ryan Hirota, is the consummate US Senator - I half-thought he was someone I used to work with during my tenure in government. He’s affable, charismatic, and intelligent, but full of quirks that could make him endearing to voters.” — BroadwayWorld, Museum 2040, 4615 Theatre Company
“It is Dylan Arredondo, however, as the Emperor, who really drives the piece, and he’s terrific. Despite the artificiality of the conceit, and while keeping the rhythm taut and energized, he provides wit, supplies spontaneity, and invites empathy.” — DC Theatre Scene, The Lady from the Village of Falling Flowers, Spooky Action Theater
“Some actors have puppetry DNA.” — Washington City Paper, The Lady from the Village of Falling Flowers, Spooky Action Theater
“Arredondo, on the other hand, locates a different voice and center of gravity for each of his characters, including Robert and another who’s legitimately frightening. His performance might actually persuade some in the audience into believing they’re seeing two different actors from scene to scene.” — Metro Weekly, Reykjavik, Rorschach Theatre
“…Dylan Arredondo drips pro acting chops in varied roles. You’ll see [him] flaunt larger roles on bigger stages in no time if there’s any justice in the theater world.” — DC Theatre Scene, The Interstellar Ghost Hour, Longacre Lea
