Time Stands Still, Thalia’s Umbrella
“…the excellent direction by Terry Edward Moore…was as accomplished as anything I have seen in years….I cannot remember when last I saw a group of actors doing ensemble performing at this level.

The Merry Wives of Windsor, Seattle Shakespeare Company
“[I]n the able hands of Seattle Shakespeare Company and director Terry Edward Moore, the almost nonstop sight gags, malapropisms and puns keep both the cast and the audience on their toes….The staging is up to the Company’s usual high standards and makes excellent use of the tiny Seattle Center theater.” —Seattle P.I.
“Filled with light-hearted trickery, clever acting, and stunning visual effects….The combination of entertaining pranks, abundant secrecy, and seamless choreography results in a stunning production.” —The Teen Tix Blog
“In Seattle Shakespeare Company’s perceptive production…Ordinarily, this is played as straight farce, a husband wishing from injured pride to catch his wife in impropriety while she outsmarts both suitor and spouse. But Moore gives us something more interesting and true: a love that is tested and tempered in full maturity.” —SeattlePostGlobe.com
“Cheers to Terry Edward Moore who directed this delightful confection.” —Nancy Worssam, ArtsStage
The Cherry Orchard, Theatre 9/12
“As sensitively directed by Terry Edward Moore . . . this is an intelligent reading of Chekhov.” —Seattle Times
The Clearing, Taproot Theater
“Terry Edward Moore’s fluent direction is assisted by some fine performances . . .” —Seattle Weekly
Macbeth, Seattle Shakespeare
“This gripping production of Macbeth stands as one of the best directed, best realized Northwest productions of this Shakespearean tragedy in recent years.” —Valley Daily News
“Terry Edward Moore’s graphic, muscular production….The articulate ensemble is terrific.” —Seattle Times
Richard III, Seattle Shakespeare
“The Seattle Shakespeare Festival, the city’s newest nonprofit, resident professional theater company, is not beginning with baby steps. . . . Moore’s direction achieves several striking coups de theatre . . .” —Seattle Times
Much Ado About Nothing, Seattle Shakespeare
“For the last three years, under Mr. Moore’s sympathetic and intelligent direction, Shakespeare’s plays have given their very best….Much Ado has been much abused in other renditions, but here delivers everything it promises—comedy, profound themes, amusement, horror, romance, treachery and justice, in stirring language matched by impeccable staging. Mr. Moore’s Shakespeare weds play and performance in a way that is seldom equaled… [I]t would be a Shakespearean tragedy to miss this opportunity to see the master in a master’s hands.” —The Stranger
