Dr. Hoskins in Human Error
|
The character [Dr. Hoskins] is acted with appropriate antic humility and stuttering, plus evasive and nervous-smiling apprehension by John Charles Quimpo.
- Victor Cordell, Cordell Reports Their doctor, weaselly and wackily played by John Charles Quimpo, doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry, call his lawyer, flee the country, or try to counsel the semi-hysterical couple into some sane action plan... [John Charles Quimpo] steals all of his scenes. - Susan Dunn, Aisle Seat Review Quimpo gets his comedic chops in as the fumbling young doctor who can’t stop smiling when nervous. - Sally Hogarty, East Bay Times ...the inept Dr. Hoskins (versatile John Charles Quimpo) surprises them with another impossible blunder. - Robert Gardner, Theatrius |

The silent role... the 30-year-old Trouble... [was] impressively acted by local theater artist, John Charles Quimpo.
- Michael Milenski, Opera Today The continual onstage presence of the adult Trouble (John Charles Quimpo) during the opera was most moving when he registered shock at new revelations. At times, this deepened the compassion for Butterfly and her heartbreak. - Jason Victor Serinus, San Francisco Classical Voice The scenes where he [John Charles Quimpo] saw that his dad and his stepmom were trying to 'kidnap' him and when his mother performed hara-kiri were both excruciatingly heartbreaking. - Michael Anthonio, Parterra Box He [John Charles Quimpo] appears as a silent observer throughout the opera, sometimes lurking in the shadows, and other times flailing about like an impotent ghost trying to change the arc of history. Although I was dubious about this device to begin with, I accepted its dramatic validity and impact in the end. - Victor Cordell, Cordell Reports |
