Ethan Itzkow...deserve[s] great praise for bringing a fierce energy that seems so natural in the world Williams has built here

Ethan Itzkow...[is] debauched, weak-minded, and terrifically creepy
-Leah Richards, Culturecatch.com on Titus Andronicus.

The highlight of the play surely is the performance of Ethan Itzkow as 17-year-old Luke. Sweet, boyish and full of the curiosity and passion of youth, this is one young actor to keep an eye on

A vivid, honest performance by Ethan Itzkow...Itzkow is compelling as a shy kid wrestling with turbulent emotions

Filmmaker

HIGH SCORE is a serious and important contribution to our ongoing public conversation about hate, racism, and demonization in America. In the course of a sizzling 15-minutes, in what is aptly described as a "social horror film," we are eyewitness to the combustible nature of these terrible forces...A superlative piece of film-making!

There may be an inclination to find humor in Jess's desperate effort to scrape enough roaches together to roll a joint, but there is an overriding impulse to empathize with her life's dilemma. It's this balance of emotion combined with raw realism that makes CASHED such a fine and compelling film
