"...the excellent Chris Humphrey stretched
convincingly taut as the terminally ill Nana...
" 
The Austinist

"...the truly outstanding performances here belong to Chris Humphrey -- Emory's viperous, gay-bashing Nanna [and Joe Hartman...]"
The Austin Chronicle

"Chris Humphrey still plays the ailing Nana, shuffling around with a grumpy cruelty that brings some of the best laughs of the work."

B. Iden Payne Award for
Outstanding Featured Actress in a Comedy
 Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)   Constance Ledbelly    Weird Sisters Theatre Collective, 2009
Susan Todd, Dir.
"Chris Humphrey plays wistful academic
Constance Ledbelly with solemn sincerity.
Initially downcast, she gives in to self-pity
only for one brief moment,
just before the garbage squad erupts onstage.
The rest of the time she is mildly
amazed, quizzical and engaged in the extravagant
events. This is a droll turn and she's very sympathetic throughout." 
Austin Live Theatre
 Merry Wives of Windsor   Robert Shallow, Esq.    Weird Sisters Theatre Collective, 2008
Susan Todd, Dir.
"Shakespeare’s language in broad Texas accents?
It works! That makes it all the funnier. As the aged
Justice Shallow, Chris Humphrey is a 
cantankerous Texas justice of the peace to the life."  
Austin Live Theatre
 Kidnapped by Craigslist   Multiple Roles    Shrewd Productions, 2008
Jason Hays, Dir.
"...the cast (Lynn Burnor, Bryan Schneider, Brock
England, Nitra Gutierrez, Chris Humphrey, and
Pierce Purselley) gives hilarious performances,
as each actor shines in their turns at center stage to wow us."

  Gobotrick Theatre  Co., 2007
Jessica McMichael, Dir.
"Humphrey gives a beautiful performance as the
heavily scarred mistress of the house. Her slow
awakening, sexually and emotionally, as her cloistered life is invaded by the child and the sailor, is by far the most affecting element in the play."

Susan Marshall, Dir.
"One of the several masterly achievements of this
haunted work is that it's often hard to tell the
pros from the walk-ons; this deftly
constructed ambiguity says a lot about life."
