“If there’s a single element to this show that makes it a “must see” it is the expertly executed love triangle performed by Coleman Crenshaw, Cinnamon Schultz and Vanessa Severo. […] Coleman Crenshaw is solid in his portrayal of the confused novelist and it helps that he seems to be enjoying himself “immensely”. His charm keeps the cynical sarcasm controlled enough to maintain his likability, yet he’s energetic enough to drive the pace of the piece quite well.” – Paul Bolton (Broadway World) August 2018. Blithe Spirit
“Coleman Crenshaw successfully portrays the poor husband in over his head and demonstrates great timing with a sense for his audience.” – Becca Pennington (PerformInk) August 2018. Blithe Spirit
“Suave, sophisticated, aloof, mostly disengaged until the twist of fate engulfs him in the love triangle, Crenshaw shows a new level of comedic timing, facial expression, and physical movement.” – Bob Evans (KC Appaulds) August 2018. Blithe Spirit
“… Crenshaw’s delivery is so nuanced it almost staggers the imagination. With incredible ease, he captures Merrick’s innocence, wit, genius, fears, awkwardness, and goodness. And he does it with a clogged and slobbering speech that still retains flawless diction. His evolving of Merrick from frightened creature to bold man over the course of the show is a tour de force…” – Christopher Elston (Chris’ Corner) July 2016. The Elephant Man

“The nerdy and awkward librarian, John Martin, comes to life via Coleman Crenshaw. Crenshaw takes this opportunity to display his wonderful comedic timing and his mastery of facial reaction. The expressions he produces as Marla teases him sexually are hilarious. He walks the line between shy and excited and makes the audience feel the awkwardness of the situation that surrounds him.” – Bob Evans (Examiner) May 2014. White Sangria
