"Sometimes a critic not only likes you and the show but totally 'gets' what they production is saying. You'll get a review that you couldn't have written better yourself. On those rare occassions, I'll sometimes break the 'unwritten rule' and write a note of thanks to the author. Why not?" (Leon Acord, Los Angeles Actor).
"Some of the actors' movements seem arbitrary to me, like they didn't know what to do with themselves. Others were perfectly still and only moved when they had to; it was as if they were very precise in their movements, and these are the actors whom I thought were the most effective. Their bodies were instruments to tell the playwright's history. These actors took the time to figure out what they would be doing if the scene never happened" (Victor Joel Ortiz, New York Actor, on Shakespeare in the Park performances).
