Reed Birney, a 1972 graduate of Williamsville North, got a glowing review from the New York Times' Charles Isherwood last week for the latest in a string of lauded appearances on Broadway. In his review of "The Dream of the Burning Boy," Isherwood calls Birney "New York’s foremost actor in a particular subspecialty, communicating the grief of average men facing extraordinary loss" and lauds the "tight focus and unflagging emotional integrity he has brought to each of [his] quiet but challenging roles.
