Reviews for "The Guard" with City Theatre
"Stephen James Anthony is a treat as the novice who surprises us with his layers..."
-The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"The juvenile in both eras is nicely balanced by Stephen James Anthony as Dodger, Henry’s new colleague and a rebellious artist; and as Titus, Rembrandt’s loving but very worried son. Helfrich and Anthony produce a nicely comic sexual spark in the museum."
-Pittsburgh City Paper
"Stephen James Anthony, again, really strong performance..."
-'Burgh Vivant
Review for "Barefoot in the Park" with Cape May Stage
"Stephen James Anthony plays her conservative husband with wit and charm, and the appropriate measure of restraint...until he breaks free of his reserve."
-Exit Zero
Reviews for "The Improbable Fall, Rise, and Fall of John Law" with Dreamscape Theatre
"By far the winners within the ensemble were Rosie Sowa and Stephen James Anthony...his senile Judge Lovell and absurdly villainous Duke of Orleans were some of the finer character portraits of the production."

Review for "In Fields Where They Lay" with Dreamscape Theatre
"Another strong showing came from Stephen James Anthony as Private Pfeiffer. Anthony had a subtle strength in his performance that resonated well for his character."

Reviews for "Lancelot" at 360 Repertory Theatre
"The actor has chops. We believe him as this rigid, automaton. And we believe the several ‘ages of man’ he gives us later."

"Stephen James Anthony brings a vivid emptiness to Ryan, underscoring his hurt, his sensitivity, and his libido alike; he finds particularly compelling ferocity in two scenes in which Ryan gives in to the violent temptations Ginger instilled him."

"Anthony play[s his] righteous, wholesome middle class role beautifully."

"Individually, Stephen James Anthony turn[s in a] wonderful performance...Mr. Anthony is completely believable as a man who, whether he likes it or not, is still a rebellious youth at heart."

"Portrayed by Stephen James Anthony with the deer-in-the-headlights look of someone who clings to banality as a drowning man might embrace a life preserver...the excellent actors and their director mine the script for every ounce of truth as the layers are peeled away bit by bit."

Reviews for "Nicholas Nickleby" at Orlando Shakespeare Theater
"He is as good as it's possible to be. No matter how unsentimental you think you are, you'll be touched by the way in which Mr. Anthony brings [Smike's] pitiful plight to believable life."
-The Wall Street Journal
"[Stephen] does a great job of showing Smike's physical and mental disabilities. At the same time, he's so genuine that you cannot help, but want the best for this character."

Review for "The Glory of Living" at Revolve Productions
"Anthony's compelling performance melds regret, loneliness, bewilderment and anger into a memorable portrait of a victim/survivor."
