“Michael Cobb is fine as Ludwig, crafty enough as an actor to underplay and, within that, to indicate his willingness to win tomorrow and take the day’s inevitable loss.”

Performance Review - Los Angeles Times
“The other showstopper was Michael Cobb’s charades game, played with delectably concise mime….His Chaplinesque ‘King of the Chairs’ routine was also hilarious.”

Michael Cobb Review - Joseph Price
“…a generous colleague, an incredible teacher, and an expert in voice and speech as well as acting….Our students loved working with Michael and valued him as a teacher and a coach. Every student that Michael taught in the year he was with us approached me and told me how much his classes meant to them and how much they grew because of his teaching. This kind of universal praise is rare. His evaluations were stellar and I saw growth from the students that he worked with.”
- Joseph Price, Past Director of the University of Minnesota/GuthrieTheater B.F.A. Acting Program

Michael Cobb Review - Steve Cardamone
“His students never took a backseat: his commitment to developing these young artists was as determined as it was inspiring….As I’ve mentioned to Michael, I have not witnessed a class as smooth, specific, supported, and compelling in their speaking of classical text as this past group. I attribute that in large part to the work of Michael Cobb.”
- Steve Cardamone, Senior Lecturer, University of Minnesota/Guthrie Theater B.F.A. Acting Program and Founding Member of Shenandoah Shakespeare/the American Shakespeare Center
