“Dezart’s ‘Mr. Parker’ Is a Wonderful Exploration of Grief, Art and the Importance of Letting Go.”

Bonnie Gilgallon of CV Independent writes, “Dezart Performs’ Mr. Parker is poignant, funny, warm and exceptionally well-acted. The performance I saw received a well-deserved standing ovation. The play is almost sold out—so get tickets if you can, and go see it.

“Kudos to [Randy] Brenner, who has elicited powerful performances from his cast. This is a true ensemble piece; the onstage relationships between these three came across as totally authentic. There was not one false note.

“This intense, intimate, three-person play would not work without a trio of very strong actors. That is not a problem here: Director Randy Brenner and artistic director Michael Shaw chose consummate professionals to embody these characters.

“A special nod to Rick Bluhm for his impressive set, and to sound designer Clark Dugger for the excellent music, which created just the right mood.”
