“[MR PARKER is] a really solid piece of work by the entire cast and crew.”

Kay Kudukis of BroadwayWorld.com writes, “Ticket holders will not be disappointed by this very good production by Dezart Performs, their final of the 23/24 season. It’s a really solid piece of work by the entire cast and crew in a play that offers a step out of the purgatory brought on by the death of a loved one, and showing us there is a passage back into the world of the living by actually living.”

“Rick Blum’s set is terrific. A well-heeled loft studio that also lives in the past, just like Terry. Together with lighting designer Mariah Pryor they created the very cool effect of a skylight, adding to the loft feel. We’re used to this kind of attention to detail with Dezart productions, and it always is worth mentioning.

“Shout out to costumer Emma Bibo who paid attention to detail with each costume fitting to the characters. The first outfit she put on Mercant told us exactly who she is, and I want one.

“Terry [Parker] wanders in and out of his own story, and while [David] Pevsner is very good in the role, he never seems to quite land in the moment until, ostensibly, the end. Randy Brenner’s direction keeps him more as an observer of his own life, which – in retrospect – is a clever ploy. Terry isn’t living in his own life, he’s living in the wake of his partner’s death, and even then, he’s doing his best not to participate in what that means. Brenner’s direction and Pevsner’s commitment to it was an interesting interpretation, one that works.”
