Boxing Lessons, by John Bunzel

“The fine cast delves deeply into potentially surface characters, navigating Bunzel’s wild plot twists like kids on a carnival ride.”
— F. Kathleen Foley of the LA Times

“…directed by Jack Stehlin with razor-sharp precision and performed by six of the best (and best-cast) actors in town.”
— Steven Stanley of Stage Scene LA 

Othello, by William Shakespeare

“What was done with Othello was brilliant! Liza Seneca (…) took the well-known story and pared it down to just the main storyline involving Othello (…), Iago (…), Desdemona, Bianca, Cassio and Emilia (both amazingly played by Luke McClure).”
— Tolucan Times

“Special snaps to McClure for giving audiences a taste of how Globe Theatre audiences might have felt seeing male actors disappear into female roles”
​– Steven Stanley, Stage Scene LA

Hamlet, by William Shakespeare

“McClure (also Captain) [is] not only extraordinary,[he] make[s] Elizabethan iambic pentameter sound fresh and new and as comprehensible as Shakespeare gets.”
— Steven Stanley of Stage Scene LA

“The players are absolutely wonderful and all their roles truthfully, fiercely and impeccably played,with humor, tenderness, soulfulness and brevity.”
— Samantha Simonds-Ronceros of NoHo Arts District

Pericles, by William Shakespeare

“McClure charts Pericles’ course from confident youth to wise and weary elder with admirable poise, allowing the powerful emotions evoked by the story’s ending to seem entirely earned.” — Terry Morgan, Stage Raw

“McClure gives a charming, vulnerable performance as the questioning young soldier.” –
​- Mary Mallory, Tolucan Times

Southern Baptist Sissies, by Del Shores:

“The ensemble does an excellent job of adjusting their performances for the cameras, with the young male leads delivering sensitive, well-modulated turns that keep us fully involved in their characters’ fates.”
​ — Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter

The Boomerang Effect, by Matthew Leavitt:

“The intentionally nasal Luke McClure stands out as a 25-year-old box boy from Trader Joe’s who continually reeks of weed and makes his secretly pregnant girlfriend doubt her ability to pick a mate.”
— Travis Michael Holder, of Backstage West

“McClure broke hearts (and won a Scenie) two years ago in Del Shores’ Yellow. He’s as terrific a comedic actor here opposite Hamilton as he was in dramatic mode.”
​– Steven Stanley, of Stage Scene LA

Yellow, by Del Shores:

“Anchoring the ensemble, as the seemingly perfect son, McClure gives a portrayal that subtly but assuredly sharpens the unfolding tragedy. His journey from joy to fear to courage to nobility is masterfully depicted.”
— Les Spindle, of Backstage West

“McClure embodies his assigned “perfect son” label while endowing Dayne with a mischievous, self-centered streak.” ​ — Bob Verini, of Variety

“U.S. newcomer McClure, a product of a French upbringing and British education, has a Mississippi accent every bit as perfect as his blond, blue-eyed good looks—and real acting chops tested by an unexpectedly demanding role, one which McClure nails.”
— Steven Stanley, of Stage Scene LA

“Luke McClure as the dying son reveals a tenderness that brings tears to the eyes.”
— Harvey Perr, of Stage & Cinema

“Handsome, perfect son Dayne is ably played by classically trained young up-and-comer Luke McClure. What could be a thankless role-the flawless jock-is given a charming and sympathetic edge by a modulated, restrained performance by McClure.”
— Roy Oldenkamp, of WeHoNews
