Tampa Bay Tribune by Joanna Milani. Headline: Actor's Portrayal of Capote is 'Tru' to Life |
| "As Tru, the role for which Robert Morse won the Tony in the original Broadway production, Wichita, KS., actor Frye is not only a doppelganger of the squat, balding, Capote, but he also inhabits the soul of the perverse angry man." |

|
St. Petersburg Times by John Fleming Headline: 'Tru' replicates original's quality |
| "Frye is a sweetly wistful Capote, a fey, funny man trapped in the holiday loneliness of his brightly decorated apartment, tap dancing as fast as he can to keep the darkness at bay." |

Weeklyplanet by Mark E. Lieb |
|
"Yes, Tom Frye turns in a truly brilliant impersonation of the wealth-obsesses writer."
"I'll say it again: Frye is wonderfully convincing as Capote, Micromanaging the part with real panache, consummate skill." |

Wichita State University College of Fine Arts by Walter J. Myers, Dean |
|
"I enjoyed very much your spectacular performance and portrayal of Truman Capote in 'Tru'
last Saturday evening. You balanced the comedy and drama of the script beautifully.
And the presentation was well supported by your team of designers. This was a treat for
Wichita patrons of the theatre."
"Congratulations!" |

| "In the final scene, the resemblance between Frye and Capote is almost chilling. At Friday's performance Frye certainly rose to the challange of a one-person show" |
