Steve makes his Broadway debut! Steve (center) with Jesse Tyler Ferguson (left) and Jose Llana (right), after appearing as "Contestant #4" in "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" (1/14/06)

In "ASSASSINS"

"'Assassins' makes a stunning Long Island premiere at Cultural Arts Playhouse...at once chilling, tragic and monstrously funny...each assassin is convincingly drawn...Stephen Wangner is deadly serious as Leon Czolgosz, who takes deadly aim...and murders President William McKinley."
-Steve Parks, Newsday (September 29, 2005)

In "BARRY MANILOW'S COPACABANA"

"Among other good moments are 'Who Am I Kidding?,' in which Sam, who owns the Copa, talks himself into rescuing Lola...Stephen Wangner as Sam nearly steals Act II"
-Steve Parks, Newsday (April 8, 2005)

in "SYLVIA"

"Stephen Wangner, who plays three roles and three genders (male, female, and somewhere in-between), is especially funny"
-Michael Bracken, Newsday (Jan 10, 2003)

in "OTHELLO"

"In the critical role of Iago, Stephen Wangner...settled into a convincing and entertaining portrayal"
-Michael Bracken, Newsday (Aug 16, 2002)

in "GROSS INDECENCY : THE THREE TRIALS OF OSCAR WILDE"

"Besides Lord Alfred, the only character who wears the same hat, so to speak, throughout is Wilde, played with a convincing blend of arrogance and naivete by Stephen Wangner. His Wilde is at once a man who knows it all but hasn't a clue."
-Steve Parks, Newsday (Jan 20, 2000)

"Wilde, played with great passion by Stephen Wangner"
-Mark Donnelly, TotalTheater.com (February 2000)

in "TWELFTH NIGHT"

"Stephen Wangner makes an exquisite foil as the yellow-stockinged, cross-gartered fool Malvolio"
-Steve Parks, Newsday (Aug 8, 1997)

in "INNOCENT THOUGHTS"

"the dialogue, convincingly delivered in this taut Arena Players production, sounds natural enough that we might well recognize things we have said or thought about race relations ourselves...Stephen Wangner's Weinberg grows from a pathetically cowed figure when he first encounters Aldridge in the jury room of a Chicago court to a stubbornly proud liberal whose moral indignation matches his adversary's"
-Steve Parks, Newsday (Feb 23, 1996)
