| |  | | ANTIGONE
Tragic play, by Jean Anouilh, starring Manuel as King Creon
 Top-notch performance by Sinor… a reptilian slick take
on the character that can’t help but remind us that this
agnostic view of power has come in style again.  | | [See Magazine] |

| | | | | | LE CADEAU D'EINSTEIN
French world premiere of Vern Thiessen's play "Einstein's Gift", with Manuel in the lead role of chemist Fritz Haber
| Manuel Sinor is truly extraordinary! | | [Radio-Canada - Alberta - CHFA FM / Le café show] |
- Manuel Sinor has a very beautiful, very sustained intensity;
an excellent contrast with Bernard Salva’s sober, mysterious performance [as Einstein].
- One of the best stage duets that I too have seen in years, Francophone and Anglophone theatres included.
| | [Radio-Canada - Alberta - CHFA FM / Le quotidien] |
Sinor creates an excellent Haber, nicely arcing through
confidence and frustration, and evoking both sympathy
and disgust as he attempts to use his chemical knowledge
to save lives, only to have it backfire when he lacks
the spine to oppose his country’s wishes. His banter
with Einstein is well done, a tribute to both Vern
Thiessen's award-winning script and the actors'
interpretations of it. | | [Vue Weekly] |
| An excellent portrayal of Haber!

| | | | | | THREE MUSKETEERS
Comedic play, by James Barry, with Manuel
in two co-lead roles (and more)
And they laugh. [...] [As] the talented trio of Nichole Carlone,
Jade Hassouné and Manuel Sinor go about their silly business.
[...] All three actors played multiple roles, working the quick costume changes for laughs and making the laughs work. Fact is, Carlone, Hassouné and Sinor made everything work for laughs, even the bits that would have fallen horribly flat in less capable hands.

Comedic play, by G. B. Shaw, with Manuel in five co-lead roles
| Manuel Sinor is excellent. An acting tour-de-force. | | [Radio-Canada - Alberta - CHFA FM] |
| The company of actors handle the dense text well, presenting us with a simply staged, intense, intriguing and often humourous summary of Shaw's ideas. | | [See Magazine] |
| This cast of four is very skilled... 4-star rating !
