REVIEWS:

Directed by Stephan Golux, Millbrook's "Art" crackles with distinctly drawn characters... with solid acting from the three-man cast and Reza's award-winning script, "Art" is a pleasure to behold.

Director Stephan Golux has, without a doubt, gotten the most out of this wonderful script... "Art" is a delight.

"Art" is nothing short of hilarious. The cast members kept the audience laughing from start to finish...
