“I was impressed with the work of Dale Morris as a playwright and actor in his
original project W.C. Fields, By Himself! presented at the 10th Ave Theatre.
His play creatively included video clips, slides of the era, voiceover clips of
the journalists and critics who wrote about him and he engagingly told a story
as actor and playwright about this comedic icon. I recommend that you catch
the show the next time it plays in San Diego. W.C. Field's family may be in
the audienc like they were this weekend's matinee. How cool is that!”

“Dale is an amazing talent -- writer, performer, producer
extraordinaire. His extensive research and dedication in
writing the story about W.C. Fields and his pitch perfect
performance of the man himself brought an almost forgotten
icon back to life. I highly recommend seeing this production.”

“Dale is a triple threat--an outstanding writer, actor,
producer. I worked with him on "The Lonely Detective"
which he wrote and produced as well. In addition, I've
seen many of his performances on the San Diego Stage.
He was notably terrific as George in "Who's Afraid of
Virginia Woolf," and more recently in "The Vibrator
Play" and "Our Town." He'll add professional polish
and many years of experience to any production he's
involved in. I could not recommend him too highly.”

Dear Dale,
I just returned home from your play and wanted
to tell you just how much my wife and I enjoyed
it. Aside from the excellent acting, I thought the
script was playful and provocative. You and
your talented colleagues did an amazing job with
minimal resources. ... It was an outstanding
experience.
Sincerely,
Robert Leavitt

“Dale Morris is a quadruple threat! He is a
brilliant and sensitive performer, an innovative
playwright, a committed producer and a leader
in the San Diego theatre arena. Having seen
his work at the North Coast Repertory as the
incomparable W.C. Fields, By Himself!, he
brilliantly brought the iconic comedian to life
with an emotional range that far exceeded the
legendary comic's previous portrayals I have
seen in the past. With a sympathetic look into
the full story of Field's life of comedy but his
haunting demons of alcohol, the original script
by his Morris' pen was riveting combining the
funny and tragic aspects of Fields amazing
life. At one moment, he was hilarious
capturing the clown, and in the next moment,
his portrayal brought me to tears. The W.C.
Field's Project, which Morris has single-
handedly brought to the stage and his
dedication to creating a work to share with the
