On Stage…

  • "Sky Vogel is a ball of cynical energy as the high-powered campaign manager Arthur Vance [in The Outsider], who has many funny lines that have the ring of truth about them. He delivers them all with superb comic timing." The Record
  • "Sky Vogel, smooth, cynical and exuding an amoral self-satisfaction" in Curtain Call Theatre's The Outsider." The Times Union
  • "Director Sky Vogel took over the lead role [of Ned Newly in the Ghent Playhouse's The Outsider] when family tragedy took the original actor out of the play. He is, to put it simply, brilliant in the role: funny, touching, endearing, and loveable." The Berkshire Edge
  • "Vogel brings just the right amount of male self-assurance to the role [of Bill Sr. in Clever Little Lies], tempering it with an equal amount of insecurity and weakness. In every scene he is just right in his movement, his pauses, his vocal stress and his loving nature. Vogel knows just when to be emotionally charged and when to hold back any sense of feeling. He does more than mere justice to the father part: he enriches it with humor, humanity and heart." The Berkshire Edge
  • “In the dual role of the twin brothers [in The Importance of… Being Oscar], he finds a natural niche for both the pedantic homosexual and the straight slouch of an artist.  Without Vogel’s interpretations of the twins’ contrasting body language and speech patterns, there would be no comedy.” NY Newsday
  • "A wonderfully understated, focused performance as the family butler, Gudgeon. Sort of gives the phrase 'the butler did it' fresh meaning." The Berkshire Eagle
  • "Sky Vogel captures the arrogance of a wealthy man who knows he’s attractive to women [in Skin Deep], but is unable to let his wife know he finds her companionship more appealing than her appearance. [He and Sheila, played by Amy Fiebke] have a wise scene in act two that is so satisfying [and] emotionally honest." WAMC
  • "[In the serio-comedy Skin Deep] Vogel and [Angela] Potrikus movingly plumb the depths of Squire and Maureen's relationship." The Daily Gazette

  • "Director Sky Vogel has poured love into this play, emptying a pristine jug of the stuff and soaked the entire Ghent Playhouse stage. He has given his actors the opportunity to play reality in the best way possible…I couldn’t find a single moment of 'acting.'

  • "Sky Vogel has directed this two-hander [Last Train to Nibroc] and his avowed affection for the play is evident throughout." Berkshire On Stage
