"As George, David Cahill displays tough love in a man struggling to keep from dissolving into hopelessness.  Why George stays with the troublesome Lennie is often a mystery in less talented hands, but Cahill makes it clear that having Lennie around allows George to keep his own dreams alive."

"Any production of this show is going to live and die with the two main characters. Fortunately, director Kathi Gollwitzer has hit 14-karat gold in David Cahill (George)…who bring[s] power and sensitivity…he brings a naturalism to his role."

"George in this case is David Cahill, who just graduated from American University with a degree in media communications and theater.  He must have studied about the "dramatic arc" of a role, for he takes George for a long, well constructed arc from his early scenes, in which he draws simple pleasure as Lennie's protector and de facto parent, though the painful process of reaching the conclusion that Lennie's defects are unmanageable."

"As Don, Cahill expertly handles the early scenes, during which the audience knows he is blind before that fact has been established in the story. Cahill finesses the tricky task of not calling attention to Don's blindness while behaving as a blind person would in a controlled, familiar setting. It is believable that it takes time for Jill to realize that he is blind."

"Cahill, who was so solid in the nearly humorless role of “George” in Firebelly’s marvelous production of Of Mice and Men in this same space last August, is perfectly charming and lightly self-depreciating as the young man who has been blind for life and, thus, doesn’t think of it as a handicap."

"David Cahill also stands out as the bombastic but lovable Tito, who's had a bit too much to eat and is not getting  along with his tempestuous wife. "Tenor" was a good show, with lots of fun.  It's also given local audiences a couple of names to watch for - particularly Sazonov, Cahill and Canlas - in future productions."
