“Stupid F**king Bird” 13th Street Playhouse, New York City
“Moments like Dr. Eugene Sorn’s(Kevin Gilmartin) monologue packed emotional punches that kept the audience held in a buzzing silence.”
“In addition, the plays contrasting portrayals of masking too much emotion and releasing too much, are shown with great skill by Gilmartin.”

“The Battles of Richmond Hill” HERE Arts Center, New York City
“Sitting quietly at a table is Frank O’Connor, Sheila’s husband (Kevin Gilmartin who fills the stage with warmth and love) listening to his wife’s laments and often commenting on her behavior.”
THEATER SCENE, JOEL BENJAMIN
“The brilliantly talented cast is rounded out by Kevin Gilmartin as the loving and spirited patriarch, Frank O’Connor.”
MALINISM DOT COM, MALINI SINGH McDONALD
“…overseeing Alexi’s overtures is Sheila’s widower, Frank O’Connor (the Sinatra-esque Kevin Gilmartin), who has “conversations” with his widow. He imparts bits o’ wisdom as each battle brews, reminding her that his love for her endures across time.

“Live From The Surface of The Moon” – The Wild Project, New York City
“…the most vital performance in the whole show is that of Kevin Gilmartin’s elderly Joe, who even though he maintains a confused silence for much of the action has a strength and passion for his late wife (whom he mistakes Holly to be) that constantly turns the tables on them all.”

“FREUD’S LAST SESSION” – Shaker Bridge Theatre, New Hampshire
“Kevin Gilmartin questions Lewis’ “fantasies” about God, good and evil, and brings his character to life with clarity and energy. Gilmartin connects with Freud’s intellectual confidence and vanity.”

”A HOMECOMING” – 2013 NYC International Fringe Festival
“Kevin Gilmartin provides an appealing set of shoulders to carry the production, and the gradual unveiling of his past failures are all the more disappointing because he is someone we are rooting for from his first moments onstage. His heartbreak is our own, and even if the pains of his present provide expiation for past sins, it doesn’t make that process hurt any less.”

“NIGHT GAMES” – Marvell Repertory Theatre, NYC
“The second act is redeemed, however, by the elegant acting of Kevin Gilmartin as Willi’s Uncle Robert.”
“Gilmartin’s nuanced performance as the brother of Willi’s late mother reveals much more than he actually says, and he makes it possible to read between the lines.”
“Gilmartin makes the subtext speak loud and clear.”
“Kevin Gilmartin is a fascinating actor to watch.”

“PROFESSOR BERNHARDI” – Marvell Repertory Theatre, NYC

“FLIRTATION” – Marvell Repertory Theatre, NYC
“In the hands of Kevin Gilmartin, Christine’s father, a violinist at the opera, is a knowing and urbane gentleman who understands the ways of the world.”

“A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM” – New Brunswick Theatre Festival
“The way that Kevin Gilmartin spits out the word Lysander makes it sound like a profanity.”

“ACCORDING TO GOLDMAN” – Alliance Repertory Theatre
“Gavin Miller(Kevin Gilmartin) looks like a kindly next-door-neighbor type from Central Casting….When he begins with the statement, “I can teach you how to write a good script, or one that will sell,” you know to fasten your seatbelts…the ride will indeed be bumpy.”
“Gilmartin has the cynical surface and the soft center that he is protecting, but there is something more tender than that – his battered ego.”

“RUMORS” – Villagers Theatre
“Standout is Gilmartin, who literally has his hands full after the kitchen accident.”
