"The miserly curmudgeon Ebenezer Scrooge is reprised by Michael Selkirk. He introduces a sense of anguish, far beyond loneliness, into Scrooge’s emotions. But it is an almost palpable
likability that ultimately triumphs. He truly brings the very essence of Dickens’ immortal character to the stage. Bravo!"

"Selkirk is a scene stealer and owns the stage..." →

"Michael Selkirk plays their kindly, older father...an authentic and lovable man..." →
"Michael Selkirk plays their kindly, older father named Edgar who is trying his best to take care of his girls when his heart is breaking from losing the love of his life. He represents an authentic and lovable man who puts his family first and treasures the meaningful things in life such as having everyone together and building a home that everyone could come back to and enjoy. His dedication and true affection for his late wife are apparent, as he looks back at all she endured in the hospital — still wondering if he did everything he could have — despite being there every single day during that difficult time."
"Selkirk delivers everything that resides just behind the dialogue...subtle yet profound." →
"The rage that seethes behind his full beard and scraggly appearance is subtle yet profound."

"Michael Selkirk provides as many touching moments as he does subtle comic ones as Ed Horowitz...wonderful." →
"...Laurie Schroeder as ready-to-break at any moment Judy Prescott (she’s got the most to do here and does it with aplomb); Christine Verleny as Joyce Horowitz, at first seemingly so together, even predatory, but then we find as wounded as anyone else; Alyson Lange plays that pretty much one get-under-your-skin note of Stacia Horowitz; Michael Selkirk provides as many touching moments as he does subtle comic ones as Ed Horowitz, probably the wisest character here next to Stacia’s much beleaguered new college boyfriend Simon played by Luke Hofmaier and Greg Oliver Bodine plays a too-assured of himself Dr. Liam Prescott. As I say they are all wonderful."
"Michael Selkirk is marvelously deadpan yet animated." →
"With a great sense of time and place, Ms. Goldstein has written a highly compelling and very entertaining, well-plotted play that examines the complicated relationships of these couples with believability, drama, and humor,''
"From its complexly comical opening scene to its wistful conclusion, Daughters of The Sexual Revolution is a joyous, insightful and involving work that is perfectly rendered."
"...the terrific Michael Selkirk."
"The cast is well suited to their roles and we understand who each of these people are. Susanna Frazer does a good job of directing and keeping this fast moving."
"...acted with startling honesty...Michael Selkirk, brilliant as the wayward employee." →
"
The play details the struggle between a construction foreman and his fired employee. It's a modest but gripping piece, and treats the lives of working-class Americans with a truthfulness that is all too lacking in contemporary theatre. The play is also acted with startling honesty by Bodine, just as comfortable playing a blue collar New Yorker as a Russian aristocrat, and Michael Selkirk, brilliant as the wayward employee."
