Most recently, the New York times described Mr. Golden as "game and energetic" in his lead performance in the play Kabbalah, produced at the off-Broadway Triad Theater.

In 2004 Mr. Golden played two principal roles in the run of Love in Great Neck, an absurdist musical comedy also produced at the Triad. He received very positive reviews, including the following:
- Amsterdam News: "Special praise should go out to the wonderful Mario Golden thank him for his memorable contribution to New York theater" (by reviewer Damaso Reyes).
- New York Times: " game cast" (by reviewer Lawrence Van Gelder) " both Juju and John are played to comic perfection by the very talented Mario Golden!" "And praise must also go to Mario Golden for his brave performance "
- America Oggi: "Courageous actors " (by reviewer Mario Fratti).
