La Belle et la Bete
Nashville Children's Theatre Written and Directed by Scot Copeland Role: Marchand "Chip Arnold is warm and endearing as Belle's father, Marchand..." Amy Stumpfl The Tennessean "Chip Arnold plays Belle's devoted father, whose loss of his fortune at the hands of an unscrupulous lawyer sets the plot into its circuitous motion, with the appropriate paternal feelings that are made even more convincing by his anger and unease as his undoing is revealed in the play's early going." Jeffery Ellis Broadway World

To Kill a Mockingbird
Nashville Repertory Theatre Directed by Rene Copeland Role: Atticus Finch "Arnold portrays Atticus with a conviction and confidence that very nearly eclipses the film portrayal of Gregory Peck, imbuing his character with a low-key grace that is integrity personified." Jeffery Ellis Broadway World "As Atticus, Chip Arnold leads the cast with a finely nuanced and wise performance. In his hands the feel of the play is exactly right, and Arnold has a way of somehow bringing Americana to his role: he’s the right balance of authoritative we want in our fathers, the understanding uncle we love and a lifelong friend all rolled into one."

Proof
Nashville Repertory Theatre Directed by Rene Copeland Role: Robert "Chip Arnold as Robert, conveys a very real sense of paternal concern and patriarchal superiority in the face of his character’s encroaching madness. His delivery of his lines is impeccable and displays a sense of timing that [others] should study for future reference." Jeffrey Ellis Broadway World "Chip Arnold plays Catherine’s deceased father to the hilt. He appears in the show’s flashback scenes and gives his character a realistic gruff sensibility." Chad Young Nashville Parent Magazine
