Zoot Suit and the San Diego Repertory Theatre's 2017 production of
Hand to God. Critics wrote of Hand to God, "Caleb Foote gives a
virtuosic performance, changing his voice and manner (he’s so
withdrawn and tic-riddled as Jason, so harsh and antagonistic as
Tyrone), while deftly manipulating a puppet with both hands, and
discoursing with himself in rapid-fire, angry, funny ways. ... It’s
a neck-snapping, challenge, [sic] and it’s thrilling to watch."
"Caleb Foote as Jason and Tyrone is remarkable in balancing
performances as both the cowering Jason and the aggressive Tyrone. ...
there is a marked difference between the two performances. When Jason
speaks it is a plea, when Tyrone speaks it is a bark with teeth";
"this is hand puppet Tyrone’s show all the way, which makes this
young Foote’s show"; "Foote plays Tyrone, too, with an unearthly way
of voicing him that swoops from the guttural to the sing-song. All the
while, the actor is also managing Tyrone’s very expressive physical
antics while maintaining both sides of conversations between puppet
and master. ... It’s an extraordinary performance". For this
performance, Foote the San Diego Theatre Critics Circle 2017 Craig
Noel Award for Outstanding Male Performance.
