Heat Wave 

Richard Traub is just right as the reporter who prods a complacent editor...
— Hedy Weiss (Chicago Sun Times)
Richard Traub was extremely convincing in his supporting role of [Stu]... He brought a lot of humor and intensity to the performance, helping make [Stu] a credible catalyst to the play’s ending.
— Lawrence Riordan (Around The Town Chicago)

Richard III

Richard Traub shines as the titular Duke of Gloucester. He suitably camps it up and takes the character of Richard III to almost Falstaffian gregariousness. Yet Traub acts with such earnestness that the lack of subtlety can be forgiven. His performance is always entertaining and occasionally illuminating, as he’ll surprise with added layers of intrigue and self-reflection that elevate him from your run-of-the-mill mustache-twirling villain.

...Richard Traub has moments of enjoyable creepiness as the title character...

She Kills Monsters

...Chuck (the downright hilarious Richard Traub)...
— Hedy Weiss (Chicago Sun Times)
As Dungeon Master Chuck, Richard Traub simply slays as an uber-nerd with a wicked sense of comic timing.

Corleone: The Shakespearean Godfather

There are some really funny performances that receive hearty laughs; I like Richard Traub in multiple roles as Bonasera, Clemenza, and Sollozzo – in addition to an unfortunate painter at the wedding of Connie and Carlo
