Press Reviews From Godlight Theater Company’s 2009 Off-Broadway Production of “1984:”
Mr. Paglino has the play’s only moment of genuine emotion.
A strong cast serves Tantalo’s vision well. The standout is undoubtedly Nick Paglino as Parsons; he has a remarkable scene with Winston near the end of the play that’s as compelling as anything I’ve seen in the theatre in months.
More successful are Enid Cortes, as the nymphomaniac free spirit who seduces Winston into a carnal affair of protest, and Nick Paglino, who raises sniveling toadying to delicious heights.

[Nick Paglino is] Especially memorable, as Sam, the Alabama cop who thinks that Mr. Tibbs may actually have something to teach him.
the supporting players, […] Nick Paglino, who is quite captivating as Deputy Wood, Gillespie’s right-hand man.
Nick Paglino plays the most conflicted and interesting character in Joe Tantalo’s fascinating production of ‘In the Heat of the Night…Paglino does a good job in playing the increasingly troubled Wood, a person who since he’s at least a decade younger than Gillespie, represents the best possibility for hope and change in Argo.
Paglino is especially good.
As his deputies, Nick Paglino and Sam Whitten are equally skilled and thoroughly convincing in their roles.
Nick Paglino is effective as the thoughtful, humane police officer — but no pushover — Sam Wood.

Tantalo’s five-member ensemble is exemplary, with Nick Paglino riveting as Clay, who becomes more and more raw and exposed as the piece follows its inexorable course.
Brilliantly staged and acted…At the center of it all is Clay, winningly played by Paglino, a sort of everyman who is forced to rebel against his bunker mentality of playing it safe and who transforms in the process into someone powerful, assured, and at times, frightening to behold.
Press Reviews From Godlight Theatre Company’s 2011 Off-Broadway Production of “Winkie”
Best of all is Winkie, who — as voiced and manipulated by Paglino, the actor playing Clifford — seems like a living, breathing teddy bear. His solo curtain call is well-deserved.
Delivered powerfully by Paglino, parts of Winkie’s story is so engaging that by its climax one could hear a pin drop.
Nick Paglino, who doubles as Winkie’s distraught owner, puppeteers and voices the role suggestively.) The teddy’s fantastical monologue steers the play into a much-needed new dimension—ursine allegory, perhaps?—with surprising emotional power.
Winkie is played by an actual teddy bear, but Nick Paglino, as Chase, also voices him excellently and manipulates him expertly.
Winkie is voiced and manipulated by Nick Paglino, who also plays Clifford Chase; his performance is splendid and utterly central to the piece.
