"…Mr. Deihl’s impressive star making portrayal of those 19 characters who haunt or visit Scrooge."
- The Chronicle, "Epiphany Co. Saratoga ‘Carol’ a magical piece"
December 20, 2007

"Thanks to superior acting by George Diehl, Jr. who plays most of the charaters, the work is compelling. He creates a wide range of characters, and for the most part does so with subtlety and control. With hardly any costume changes, he alters physical and vocal traits to establish gender or age and then thrusts the audience to accept the character without overplaying any role. It’s great work that comes to a humorous climax when he play the entire Cratchit family in one scene."

"Christine and Krogstad, as played with compelling vitality by, respectively, Gerry Sanseviero and George Deihl Jr., each work their sides of Nora's story at first. Christine, widowed, is angling for a job at the bank managed by Nora's husband, while Krogstad tries to hang on to self-same job at said bank. When they come together -- damaged but clear-eyed adults, willing to give love another go -- it's deeply satisfying.

With his wide, angled sideburns and temples across which veins throb, the physically short Deihl gives Krogstad the air of a badger -- fearsome when cornered. Sanseviero's Christine has seen too much to have patience with Nora's flightiness, but fondness, a good heart and self-preservation keep Christine struggling for both her own interest and her friend's. Deihl and Sanseviero deserve kudos for masterful acting."

"Most interesting were George Deihl and Gerry Sanseviero as the seemingly dastardly Krogstad- a man’s who’s just lonely, it turns out-and Kristine, a far baser character than her friend Nora…"

"…It is George Deihl as Renfield, the raving lunatic, who gives the evening its most frightening performance. Whether he’s crouched in fear, writhing in psychic pain, pleading for help or fearing revenge, he rivets attention."
- The Times Record, "Dracula’ Combines Realism , Horror" by Barbara Bartels,
October 21 , 1999

"…Top performance was given by George Deihl in the role of Renfield, a mentally deranged patient who is recruited by the vampire but ultimately leads to its destruction."
- Forecaster, "Dracula" by Scott Andrews,
October 21, 1999

"George Deihl walks away with the show as the creepy, yet sympathetic Renfield. He fidgets, he leaps about like a caged monkey, he drops to his haunches and hisses."
- Maine Times, "Go Ahead, Be a Vampire" by Jason Wilkins,
October 21, 1999

"George Deihl, as the manic Renfield, really holds the show together. His kinetic energy and total immersion in the role seem to affect the other actors. When he is on stage, all the performances go up a notch or two…"
- Maine Sunday, "Public Theatre’s ‘Dracula’ Skirts Edge of Compelling" by V.R. Cann,
October 17, 1999

"…It’s a tour-de-force performance by George Deihl Jr. as the maniacal Renfield that audiences will remember. Diehl is a whilrlwind of action and speech among the inhabitants of the Dr. Seward’s gloomy sanitarium near London. He darts about, perching on chair and sofa, babbling what seems to be nonsense in his frantic attempt to save his soul from Dracula. His extremes of violent outbursts and cowering fear bring breathtaking action to a mostly walk-and-talk script."
- Sun Journal, "Public Theatre Crafts a Wickedly Entertaining Evening" by David A. Sargent,
October 1999

"In the Great Lakes Theater Festival’s ‘The Tempest’ , George Deihl Jr. literally offers the low-down on Shakespeare’s facinting and uncouth Caliban character. Remarkably, Deiehl spent most of the opening night performance of the play crouched down, even walking like that and sometimes going from that position into somersaults, occasionally backwards. His depiction of the troll-like Caliban … was one highlight of the production because he made this complex play intereating and accessible."

"The play best springs to life with the appearance of some secondary characters. George Deihl Jr. shows the pain and anger in his courching, somersaulting and lizard like Caliban…"
- Sun Herald, "More Heart Needed for ‘Tempest’ to Boil" by Teddi Gibson-Bianchi,
October 9 , 1997

"…George Deihl Jr. created a Caliban who was moster, puppy dog and 1,000 volts of energy rolled into one. When Deihl’s Caliban crawls onto the stage, the energy reached a crescendo. This Caliban leaps frog-like and crawls about the stage with his focus on sex, alcohol and, perhaps, a human friend. This is a Caliban without self-pity that he’s a monster. This is a Caliban who can walk away with a complete production."

"Killer Midgets is a rich, engaging script, and it's been smartly directed by the author. Joseph Kamal (Mike and George Deihl, Jr. (Rich), onstage throughout, give exceptional performances, at once deeply nuanced and--especially in Deihl's case--brazenly and fearlessly physical. Ethan Crough, David Steinberg, and Mark Trombino ar effective as Frankie, Tommy, and Joey, three men who turn out to be much more than the killer midgets of the play's title."
- NYTheatre.com Review by Martin Denton, April 8, 2001

"The set by Michelle Malavet--miles of newspaper bunched and plastered, leaving not one inch of wall--is a superb playground for Deihl and Kamal to dive into Dapolito's well-written absurdities and non-sequiturs. Deihl, in particular, whisks around the set with the inexhaustible force of a whirling dervish."
- Broadway.com review by Gregory Young

"In their performances--dressed in nearly nothing, with flowing beards--Kamal and Deihl achieve a flawless symbiosis. Deihl's hyperactive physicality is particularly mesmerizing; he's immersed himself in Rich's neuroses quite precisely. Crough and Trombino are hoots as swaggering midgets--well, they are midgets--but Steinberg edges ahead, tugging at heartstrings even as life seems heartless."
