"The astounding Jonathan Riker...grabs the audience’s hearts and minds from the first minute – and never lets them go."

"Jonathan Riker is a once in a lifetime talent. Taking on over 30 roles in the one person show, “I Am My Own Wife,” at Milwaukee Chamber Theatre, the performance is a juggernaut of energy and focus. Riker is a dramatic shapeshifter, physically and vocally."

Jim Higgins,

"This exquisitely paced production...features Jonathan Riker in an award-worthy performance marked by skill and elan. Without stinting on the suffering and moral questions in this story, this show is much more joyful than a bare synopsis would suggest."

Anne Siegel,

"So electrifying that it barely lets the audience come up for air. Such is the dramatic magic that Milwaukee-based actor Jonathan Riker wields onstage."

"What elevates this script and show above a standard stage biography is deployment of a third character, the Elevator Guy, played with flair by Jonathan Riker...After Riker's performance here and in Milwaukee Chamber Theatre's 'I Am My Own Wife' earlier this season, casting directors really need to be paying attention to him."
