In 2012, Rolland was invited to join Third Rail Repertory Theatre as a company member. An ensemble built to share an esthetic, a vocabulary, and an understanding of each other’s working styles in order to produce surprising and thought-provoking entertainment.
At Third Rail, Rolland has performed in many shows with gushing reviews like:
“Walsh gives a fine performance”
“Rolland Walsh … has a certain amount of charm”
“Walsh … embodies bumbling masculinity”
“Rolland Walsh is entertainingly scatterbrained”
“Walsh has an air of innocence, his little-boy-loser charm, which allies him with the audience”
Some his favorite roles include Touchstone in As You Like It (American Repertory Theatre); Konstantin in Seagull (Moscow Art Theatre); Thom in Thom Pain (based on nothing) (Club Oberon – Cambridge, MA); Nelson in Infinite Life (Third Rail Repertory Theatre); Kenneth in The Night Alive (Third Rail Repertory Theatre).
