"A dashing gentleman." - City Revealed Magazine
"The biggest hiccup came when Henke accidentally spilled a cup of coffee on Hedlund during the third scene. It was then I realized the difference between professional and non-professional acting. The actors were a bit surprised, but handled themselves better than I had expected. Nobody broke character and they played the accident off like the spill was supposed to happen. I overheard audience members ask the director if it was in the script, a sign that the cover was mostly successful." - Mt. Mercy Times
"Sometimes there’s a character in a show that, by the end of it, every time he/she comes on stage, you get really excited because you know something funny is about to happen. You can’t wait until their next entrance, and, even thought their exits crack you up, you are sad to see them go. And, when they are onstage, you don’t look away, because you don’t want to miss anything. For me, tonight, that happened, courtesy of Eric Hedlund playing Richard." - Kentucky Central Entertainment, http://centralkentuckyentertainment.com
