- Reviews for Oak Park Festicval Theater's Tempest:
-The drunken comic relief trio is a hoot! (Matt Gall as Caliban, Savanna Rae as Trinculo, and Orion Seth Lay-Sleeper as Stephano).
....just how physical the acting is from start to finish. wether it's ...the drunken antics of Stephano (Orion Lay-Sleeper) and Trinculo (Savanna Rae), or the aver of chastity by Ferdinand (Austyn Williamson) that brings Shakespeare’s more ribald meanings great clarity — this is a well-told tale conveyed with physical theater gestures as much as tongue twirls to give the Bard his due.

" philosophical but slightly deranged..."-Chicago Reader
"Titus himself is a magnificently over the top ring leader... Orion Lay-Sleeper is most successful as the cruel, bombastic Titus, but within the limitations of the devised story, he is also sympathetic as the broken-down father and man. -EdgeChicago
As You Like It, Vermont Stage Company
Orion Lay-Sleeper proved quite versatile from the flashy pro wrestler to the smitten shepherd. -Rutland Herald
Twelfth Night, Royal Tyler Theater
Cabot native Orion Lay-Sleeper, as Belch, as well as Andrea Underhill (as Olivia's attendant, Maria), Sam Durant Hunter (the fool) and Kody Grassett (Belch's friend Andrew) nibble on the scenery but never chew on it, giving "Twelfth Night" the perfect comic tone. -Burlngton Free Press
Seagull, Unadilla Theater
... young foils, Hannah Brown and Orion Lay-Sleeper, handled tough roles with confidence and professionalism...Brown's dramatic counterpart, University of Vermont sophomore Orion Lay-Sleeper, played the suicidal Constantine without sounding too melodramatic. -Seven Days
