Rules for Living (Round House Theatre, 2025)
"Adam, played by Jonathan Feuer, steals the show with his many funny voices, unflattering nicknames for family members and colorful rants."
WTOP
"The show is most definitely stolen by Jonathan Feuer as Adam, the eldest son of the uber-conventional parents playing host to this incendiary gathering. Without revealing Adam’s “rules” for living, suffice it to say that Feuer captures the frustration and angst of this hamstrung man with the kind of all-in conviction and comic timing that makes him not just the perfect vehicle for Holcroft’s zingers, but abundantly believable. He is the embodiment of that guy who never misses a miserable trick — about himself or anyone else — and he lets everyone know about it."
Metro Weekly
"There is no catchy description for the work Feuer puts in; Adam wanted to be a ballplayer but got pressured by Francis to go into law, so he's miserable in a bush league law firm. His resulting neuroses manifest in Tourette's-like vocal and verbal false ways of speaking. Feuer goes through a veritable curriculum of accents and voices and references and imitations because Adam can no longer genuinely communicate; it's masterly and great fun to watch."
Broadway World
"Feuer’s Adam aces the vocal challenge of both deadpan lying and coming up with multiple funny voices to express his frustrated truths."
DC Theater Arts
Monumental Travesties (Mosaic Theater Company, 2023)
"Davis, Feuer, and Wilson deliver their lines with comedic perfection. They throw their entire bodies into their characters, play off the audience’s shock.Feuer especially is unafraid to delve into the darker aspects of white identity and delivers some of the play’s most piercing lines."
DC Theater Arts
"The cast...shine in their chemistry and passion they each bring to their roles... Feuer as Adam wears his liberal bona fides so well...when he expresses incredulity that he could be a racist because he “voted for Obama, twice!”
MD Theatre Guide
"Feuer brings a wealth cringe-inducing reality to the overly well-intentioned neighbor trying too hard to be an ally. "
Broadway World
Maz & Bricks (Solas Nua, 2022)
"Jonathan Feuer’s Bricks is full of tricks and laughter, and yet serious and thoughtful when he needs to be. Both actors give stellar performances."
DC Theater Arts
Man Covets Bird (Spooky Action Theater, 2021)
"Feuer’s Shakespearean background is evident in his rich delivery of often poetic lines. In fact, many of the narrative lines have a sense of Dr. Seuss about them, and Feuer expertly navigates the rhymes and rhythm with a grounded humor that avoids patronizing silliness—no easy feat."
MD Theatre Guide
"Jonathan Feuer (Man) is expressive, but never over the top, fully convincing in every interaction with his bird that we never see."
DC Theater Arts
"Then, the man of the hour, Jonathan Feuer, gave a captivating performance as Man. I loved how this character was portrayed by Jonathan. A bit confused going out into the real world, and then learning so much along the way with the help of his bird, there was a brilliant performance put on by this talented actor. The way the childish spirit was continually embraced by Man through Jonathan kept me smiling throughout this show. It gave me a sense of hope, realizing that even when things may seem very difficult and confusing, there can be one small thing that brings you back to serenity."
Broadway World
Recent Tragic Events (Prologue Theatre, 2020)
"Jonathan Feuer’s portrayal of Ron shines with hilarious timing."
DC Metro Theater Arts
"Jonathan Feuer is an absolute stitch as Ron, who is as endearing as he is obnoxious and self-absorbed."
Broadway World
"Ginsburg and Feuer are the undeniable standouts of Prologue’s holistically excellent production."
"Feuer similarly embraces the inherent contradictions of Ron. He’s able to capture the complexity of someone who tosses off expressions like “Boy fuck, she eats!” when referring to Nancy one moment and debates the philosophical nature of determinism while serving as a true rock for Waverly the next."
DC Theatre Scene
John (Signature Theatre, 2018)
"If Robinette does, without doubt, carry the play, the other strong player here is certainly Jonathan Feuer as Elias. The character is a pleasingly realistic jumble of ingredients and not altogether likable, but then again, maybe he is under the circumstances. Feuer captures the complexity with great clarity but also — crucially — with nuance, authenticity, and some excellent comic timing. (It is interesting to note from the program that Feuer does a fair bit of children’s theater — if he is bringing this kind of exceptional color and understatement to kids, there’s a future for theater after all.)"
Metro Weekly
"Feuer and Moon get the funk of this cat-and-mouse relationship just right, and it’s an odd but telling facet that Elias and Jenny are never closer than when Elias is making up scary stories at Jenny’s request."
The Washington Post
"Jonathan Feuer agilely manages the changing depths of Elias. At first, you brush him off as a testy, self-hating Jew always looking for a slight and a fight. But then Feuer shows us Elias’ other aspects—loving and affection-craving, capable of moving introspection."
DC Theatre Scene
"Mr. Jonathan Feuer’s Elias was effectively natural and explosive in character and his confrontational scenes with his girlfriend Jenny were particularly compelling. He also moved with physical agility and authority."
DC Metro Theater Arts
Charlotte's Web (Imagination Stage, 2018)
"Jonathan Feuer delivers a near flawless performance as Templeton..."
DC Metro Theater Arts
"I knew I was going to love this cast and this production early on, watching Jonathan Feuer as Fern’s father: understated (in the right way), crystal clear work. It was then a joy to see him morph into the wide-eyed farm-hand and into Templeton, the opportunistic rat you love to love."
DC Theatre Scene
The Freshest Snow Whyte (Imagination Stage, 2017)
"Speaking of arrays of talent, the actors deserve a special shout-out. Because I had seen several of them before in serious and substantive dramatic roles, I was blown away to see what they can do when they cut loose and go wacky...Jonathan Feuer as Mira...—their polished physicality and mischievous free spirits kept me giggling to myself at stuff the kids could not possibly appreciate, because they could not know what awesome acting talent was taking us along on this buskers’ holiday of hilarity."
DC Metro Theater Arts
"Jonathan Feuer as Mira makes the most of his limited stage time."
Broadway World
Redder Blood (The Hub Theatre, 2016)
"...the developing relationship between Sadie and Spencer also feels right. It is charming and awkward at the same time as they navigate the challenges of romantic attraction and faith-based discussions. It is a romance that the audience roots for and hopes will survive the inquisition that awaits when Spencer is invited to meet the family at a Shabbat dinner."
DC Theatre Scene
"Then there is Sadie’s unexpected, new love interest. He is a NY Mets outfielder named Spencer given a mellow, genial shape by Feuer. He makes being of the Presbyterian faith sexy and desirable to the Jewish Sadie."
DC Metro Theater Arts
"...an appealingly earnest Jonathan Feuer..."
The Washington Post
Antigone Project: A Play in 5 Parts (Rep Stage, 2016)
"Jonathan Feuer and Kelly Renee Armstrong excel as a variety of grieving relations, lecturers and officers."
DC Metro Theater Arts
"an excellent Jonathan Feuer..."
DC Theatre Scene
As You Like It (Annapolis Shakespeare Company, 2015)
"Jonathan Feuer brings Orlando to life when he wrestles Charles..."
"Though Feuer is rough and tough in the wrestling scene, he really plays Orlando as a gentle soul. His soft vocals makes him a likable character and his singing tones make him a lovable man. Both Spencer and Feuer radiate with chemistry in a flirty and wanting way. Their eyes spark with desire and their barely turned up lips are pursed with curiosity."
DC Metro Theater Arts
"(Not that it’s hard to imagine Rosalind falling in love just with the sound of Feuer’s beautiful voice, both speaking and singing.)"
TheatreBloom
Passion Play (Forum Theatre, 2015)
"Jonathan Feuer brings sharp comedy as a director..."
Washington Post
"Jonathan Feuer turns in a funny performance as a director who functions as a walking parody of pretentious artists."
Washington City Paper
"For the theatrical insiders, Jonathan Feuer’s director will send giggles down your spine. From the director’s origin as a community organizer to his rising Third Reich pomposity, Feuer’s manifestation of the man with a vision is hilarious."
DC Metro Theater Arts
The 'T' Party (Forum Theatre, 2013)
"The carnal tension between Jonathan Feuer and Rachel Hynes defies the norm of what one expects from a cross-dresser: pervasive hetero-masculinity. Onoda Power plays to her cast's strength's showcasing...Jonathan Feuer's malleable and alluring sexuality as he goes from gay to straight and back again..."
DC Metro Theater Arts
"Jonathan Feuer and Rachel Hynes are particularly compelling and intense during a 'chat room' scene between a woman and a cross-dressing heterosexual man. The taut dialogue between the two poignantly articulates said man’s struggle to reconcile his masculinity with his chosen mode of self-expression. His angst is palpable."
MD Theatre Guide
"The show picks up considerably with the formal performance. A woman and her ex, a cross-dressing straight man, share a deeply intricate online chat, with deceptively simple-sounding dialogue full of 'Smiley face!' and 'Question mark?'"
Washington Post
9 Circles (Forum Theatre, 2013)
"Jonathan Feuer is particularly riveting as a sharp-as-a-tack civilian lawyer."
Washington Post
"...Jonathan Feuer matches wit and passion with Martinez' Reeves admirably as his defense lawyer."
Broadway World DC
"...Feuer comes into his own as an amoral defense lawyer bent on saving Reeves at any cost."
DC Theatre Scene
A Little House Christmas (Adventure Theatre MTC, 2012)
"...Jonathan Feuer’s quietly troubled depiction of George lend[s] soul to the production..."
Washington Post
"Jonathan Feuer as Uncle George carries the emotional battle scars of the Civil War in his wounded expressions and muted silence..."
DC Theatre Scene
"My son Charlie really enjoyed the post-Civil War side-story involving the girls’ Uncle George…"
A Parent Living In Silver Spring
A Little Trick (Quotidian Theatre Company, 2012)
"Jonathan Feuer as Ivan captivates your attention right off, and lends a mesmerizing performance."
DC Metro Theater Arts
"Jonathan Feuer gives an assertive performance as the diffident Ivan..."
DC Theatre Scene
"Tisdale and Feuer work beautifully together as the terrified Nadya and the proud and protective Ivan."
