TRENT SAUNDERS’ PROJECTS

TRENT SAUNDERS AS player 5

“Trent Saunders lights up the story of Andy Payne, a runner from the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma who won the Trans-Continental Footrace in 1928… Though Payne’s story might initially seem like a tangent, it’s actually central to the heart of Dead Outlaw, and not just because of Saunders’s blazing performance.”

— Vulture

“Trent Saunders particularly delivers a star-making performance”

— Theatermania

“One noble fellow emerges… modeled on the real-life marathon champion Andy Payne, who gets a muscular, exuberant number in his honor — sung by Trent Saunders, deftly channeling David Bowie.”

— NY Sun

“The energetic Trent Saunders shines in the story song “Andy Payne.”

— Citi Tour

Listening and looking at this man is a guaranteed smile.”

Trent Saunders as St. Jimmy

“One of the best was Trent Saunders, who plays Johnny’s
drug-addled alter-ego, St Jimmy. Occasionally, Armstrong has played
the role himself but Saunders’ tremendous turn on “Know Your
Enemy” meant the Green Day man wasn’t missed.”

— New Hope Free Press
