 Recent press:

“The nuance this performer achieved was outstanding, effortlessly layering bubbly, clever levity with murderous intensity in a 100% authentic way. I have never been so disturbed and delighted at the same time.”

Sonia Goldberg, From Behind the Table, Angry Fags 2025

“López is particularly good at dropping Payne’s one-liners that blend the acidic and the silly.”

Kerry Reid, Chicago Reader, Angry Fags 2025

“…as Cooper Harlow, Rafael Lopez walks away with the entire show… it’s an exquisite turn.

C.J. Fernandes, Stageandcinema.com, Angry Fags 2025

“Among this truly ensemble cast, Rafael López shone as the Dungeon Master, Chuck. Part stoner geek, part stumbling male nerd, he is also the stage manager of this world and infuses a sense of calm into the perils faced. A laid-back yet sharply timed performance.”

Ross Haarstad, Ithaca.com, She Kills Monsters 2021
