Laying on of Hands (2005)

Writer : Bill Cain 

Producer : Ojai Playrights Conference 

Venue : Zalk Theatre

Character : Jesse

"I play Jesse, a gay priest, which from my experience has always been sort of a contradiction in terms but what I've come to realize from working on this play is that sometimes the people who go against the dictates of the Catholic Church are often the most strongly spiritual people around. And so you're dealing with the actual religion and the sort of political structure of the Catholic Church as well as you are dealing with the spiritual life of these people who are sort of questioning who they are."

 A Map of Doubt and Rescue (2004)

Producer : Ojai Playrights Conference
 
Venue : Zalk Theatre 
 
Writer : Susan Miller 
 
A staged reading is about honoring and serving the playwright's voice. For actors, it's easy for the play to be about you, your journey, your process, blah blah blah.I don't make concrete decisions or too many choices beforehand. There's an acuity inherent in working on new material. Every actor can benefit from that. It's a matter of trusting yourself, your instincts, and the playwright's instincts, stepping forward without the ground under you being completely solid. That can always serve you as an actor. It's a really unique opportunity to help shape a play... Be grateful for that opportunity. It's not about whether it's perfect or polished. It's about sharing, and seeing how it lands" - Zachary on working on 'A Map of Doubt and Rescue' at the OPC.

Side Man (2000)

 

Producer : City Theatre Company

Venue : City Theatre, Pittsburgh

Character : Clifford 

Writer : Warren Leight

Summary : A memory play about a jazz musician and his wife and son. The play is a Tony Award winner. Zach was still at university when he appeared in the play.

Probably I'm the readier to declare Clifford central because, in Zachary Quinto, director Kiselov has found such a good Clifford compared to some of the nonactors (Jason Priestley!) who have played the role in New York and London. Quinto is a gem of focus. You don't always notice him in much of Act 1, given the rich comedy of everyone else, but when you do, you'll see with what delicacy he watches his own youthful parents. And in his climactic scene with Gene, he unloads all the emotion the play has carefully hoarded. - Christopher Rawson, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Much Ado About Nothing (2000)

Venue : LA Shakespeare Festival / Vineyard Playhouse 

Writer : William Shakespeare

Producer : LA Shakespeare Festival

Character : Borachio

Summary : A comedy about the relationships and misunderstandings between a group of young people at an Italian Villa. Borachio conspires to make the hero believe that his lover is being unfaithful. Borachio means 'drunkard' in Italian! 

 

 

Leaving Queens (1999)

Writers : Kim Sherman and Kate Moira Ryan

Producer : Carnegie-Mellon New Plays Project

Venue : Kresge Theater, CMU

Character : Unknown 

Summary :  A musical about a family of Irish immigrant arriving in New York. 

Gross Indecency : The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde (1999)

Producer : City Theatre Company 

Writer : Moises Kaufman

Venue : City Theatre, Pittsburgh

Character : Rent boy

Summary : The play depicts the trials of Oscar Wilde for 'gross indecency' using real transcripts from the trial itself.

Darren Focareta, Zachary Quinto, Jon Skovron and Daniel Krell play the sleazy rent boys ("gilded snakes," Wilde calls them), as well as everybody else, with admirable variety and spunk. Even their accents are pretty good, the various middle- and lower-class ones reminding us that Wilde's persecution was a classist witch hunt, in which the aristocracy calculatingly offered him up as a sacrifice to demagogic Puritanism. - Christopher Rawson, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

 

Love's Labours Lost (1998)

Writer : William Shakespeare

Producer : Carnegie-Mellon University

Venue : Kresge Theater, CMU

Character : Unknown

Quinto and Swift give their courting pair the articulate, acerbic sparkle that make them worthy precursors of the more famous Benedick and Beatrice. - Christopher Rawson, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

A Lonely Impulse of Delight (Year Unknown)

Venue : Vineyard Playhouse

Writer : John Patrick Shanley

Character : Unknown

A comedy about a man who falls in love with a Mermaid in the Central Park lake but who makes the mistake of introducing her to his best friend.

 

Stone (Year Unknown)

Producer : Taper New Works Festival 

Venue : Mark Taper Forum, LA

Character : Unknown

Writer : Unknown

The Bear  (Year Unknown)

Producer : Tintreach Company

Writer : Anton Chekhov

Character : Smirnoff (?)

Venue : Galway, Ireland

A farce centering on a landowner and a widow still mourning her husband. As the short play is a two hander we suspect Zach must have played Smirnoff, the landowner, but this might not be accurate

 

The Pirates of Penzance (1993)

Writer : Gilbert and Sullivan 

Producer : Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera 

Venue :  Benedum Centre, Pittsburgh

Character : Major General Stanley

Character's solo songs : "I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major-General" ; "Oh, men of dark and dismal fate";

Summary : The Pirates of Penzance is a comic opera. Zachary played the Major-General who manages to win back his daughter from the clutches of pirates before having a change of heart when he realises that they are good men.
