press on Travis' performance:
Happy Days: Travis as Charles "Chachi" Arcola
"While it’s important that the actors cast as those characters deliver evocative portrayals that help to recapture those same memories for you, it’s also essential that no one slips into easy choices or stereotypical performances. And that, quite frankly, is where the Roxy Regional Theatre production excels...the script for the musical elevates the character of Chachi Arcola (The Fonz's cousin and Joanie's suitor) from his relatively original minor role to more of an equal member of Richie's white-bread gang. Played by Travis Kendrick (without even a hint of Scott Baio in his altogether original mix), Chachi more than holds his own with Richie's other friends."

"Joanie and Chachi were played by Hannah Church and Travis Kendrick, both of whom are exceptional actors."

The Wedding Singer: Travis as Imelda Marcos (et al)
"And I would be remiss if I didn't mention the hysterically funny group of 'impersonators' who make their appearance in the show's Las Vegas scenes...when you have the lagniappe of Travis Kendrick as 'fake Imelda Marcos' - well, it's just too much over-the-top fun to miss!"

Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat: Travis as Joseph
"Kendrick is captivating from the beginning, strutting around in his gorgeous, floor-sweeping coat of many colors like a proud bird."

Big River: Travis as Huck
"The show must go on! Our Huck Finn in 'Big River' came down with something that caused him to miss performances. Fortunately, Travis pulled the fat out of the fire once again, just as he had done for us last fall in 'Around The World In 80 Days,' covering at the last minute. Thanks to talent, technique, and experience, Travis pulled the rabbit out of the proverbial hat."

Hamlet: Travis as Osric and Guildenstern
"The lighter moments eased the tension...Look for the attack of the Hamlet fanboy (Osric) and a hilarious vision of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern that left me wishing for more."

Once Upon A Time: Travis as Flounder and Rumpelstiltskin
"Each of the five actors in this show deserves applause - their energy and engagement with such a young crowd gave real definition to the term 'generous performance.' Like in any good kids show, tossed in are a few gems for adults. Travis Kendrick's Flounder in 'The Fisherman and His Wife' seemed inspired by the B-52s, and I couldn't help but be reminded of the Ting-Tings song as Kendrick's Rumpelstiltskin shook his finger saying, 'That's not my name.' "

Around The World In 80 Days: Travis as Passepartout
"Nate Washburn, who...plays the lead role...was almost the star of the show and would have been if not for the incredible performances of Travis Kendrick and Colin Smith. These two actors are absolutely a joy to watch on stage and deserve some credit for an amazing job...Travis joined the show three days before the open and he hits the role out of the park. For an actor to so completely develop and refine a character in that short amount of time is nothing short of amazing."
