Comic Potential
As the unlikely love-struck couple, Adam and Jacie, (William Joseph Hill and Oona Mekas) give flawless and loveably infectious portrayals, rich with impeccable timing and focus. They really made us “believe!”
- Pat Taylor, Tolucan Times
In this rip-roaring comedy, deftly directed by Stan
Mazin with a superb cast, each and everyone sparkles in their roles.

The Neighborhood Crime Watch
Besides the aforementioned daredevil sequence
(William Joseph Hill as Donald, showing a knack for physical comedy),
there’s a laugh-inducing Act 2 chase around the house...A funny
sequence amusingly staged and performed...Inspired slapstick from the
ensemble.

Championship
Grimmer Than Grimm
"a whimsical dark comedy that delivers elements
of the macabre with fairytale fantasies...an interesting twist to the
classic Grimm tales...The performers are all magnetic and powerfully engaging."
- M.G. Marx, Metro L.A.
The show ran for 4 weeks at the Next Stage Theater in Hollywood. Each show had a sold out audience! A future cult classic...David Lynch meets The Grimm's Fairy Tales.
The Curious Savage
"The Curious Savage is infused with energy"
- Amy Bowker, Tolucan Times
This show ran for 4 weeks from April 15, through May 7, 2006 at the Whitmore-Lindley Theatre complex in North Hollywood.
The Unsinkable Bismarck
" William Joseph Hill's various radio personas constitute
a one-man Monty Python's Flying Circus...Sitcom casting forces should
book passage now."
- David Nichols, L.A. Times
"William Joseph Hill is an acting
troupe unto himself as he nimbly handles the handful of characters who
enter the play through the radio."
-Wenzel Jones, BackStage West (Critic's Pick)
Water, Water Everywhere
"Hill gives an exemplary performance as the tormented
younger sibling, who lacks his brother's ability to fight back and eventually
flees. In both the flashback scenes in which we see Gwinnet as a caged-in
youth struggling to survive his emotional prison, and his deathbed scenes
in wherin he faces his encroaching fate with dark humor and courage, Hill
is likeable and convincing."
-Frontiers - September 1, 2000
Nominated for Valley Theatre League awards in the categories: Best Script-Original Drama, Best Supporting Actor in an Original Drama, and Best Overall Production of an Original Drama.
- L.A. Weekly critic's pick, 1998
"The main character of Tom, played by Bill Hill, is your typical 'cyber geek'...Bill Hill really made you believe he was this pathetic geek...kudos goes out to the entire cast and crew." - Darren W. Frydendall, Internet review 1998
