Henry V - American Shakespeare Center

"Another brilliant turn is Elleon Dobias’s Boy, the kid who has the incredible misfortune of having to accompany Henry’s former tavern buddies to France. Gliding across the stage effortlessly on wheeled sneakers, Dobias embodies youth and, well, wisdom well beyond a boy’s years. Dobias’s skills as a violinist are also on full display during the musical interludes, both in this and other plays in this season." (DC Theatre Arts)

A Christmas Carol - Portland Playhouse:

"Elleon Dobias is a multi-talented multi-instrumentalist who improvises carols on-demand and has a stage presence that could light the darkest corner." (Broadway World)

Indecent - Victory Gardens Theatre:

"Elleon Dobias, spends the entirety of the show playing violin, providing a usually mellifluous, but sometimes jarring underscoring and soul to the plot.

The Irish and How They Got That Way - Porchlight Music Theatre:

"Fiddler Elleon Dobias has supersonic speed that will have you wanting to leap into the aisles and jig." (Chicago Theatre Review)
