"GO...Bart DeLorenzo's staging preserves the tone, inherent the text, that's both wry and frivolous, abstract and pop, with one breakout poetical excursion into Walt Whitmanesque grandeur, delivered by a hobo (Brett Hren) and accompanied by Dvorak's Symphony from The New World."
-LA Weekly

"Bart DeLorenzo directs a bouncy, colorfully-clad cast...Marina Mouhibian's set transforms in a blink from bland warehouse clutter to circus magic...this oddly titled piece may help you to discover the unexpected beauty in the quotidian jumble that habit has taught us to overlook."
-Los Angeles Times

"...those willing to mentally traverse this living museum for 90 minutes - led by a deft curatorial staff (aka TheSpyAnts' 10-person cast and director Bart DeLorenzo) - will discover a wealth of intriguing, visually captivating and funny vignettes among the more than 40 presented...DeLorenzo successfully evokes whimsy when needed, as well as understated sadness...The cast works in harmony, flitting in and out of scenes as if each actor is part of a single entity. Ken Roht's choreography injectes energy and humor...Marina Mouhibian's set resembles a set of Rauschenberg combines, which creates an ideal atmosphere."
-Backstage

"By the end of the evening you may be surprised, even moved, to realize how successfully these actors have done the work of building a coherently engaging emotional arc out of the rollickingly complex, sometimes esoteric raw material of Mee's playful, peripatetic text...Set designer Marina Mouhibian [creates] a fantastic junkyard playground for the ensemble cast to run around."
-LAist.com

"...a piece that seems almost improvised, but with a structure that emerges as the play develops. The cast, Mee, and DeLorenzo are to be congratulated for this daring and provocative experience in the theatre."
-BlogCritics.org

"...incredibly entertaining...brims with colorful characters...and is backed by explosive energy...fearless and optimistic, but best of all unedited."
-Campus Circle

"Delightful...the spirit of Rauschenberg is duly honored by DeLorenzo and company...cast members attack their roles with gleeful abandon. Particularly fetching is [Jennifer] Eckert...and [Maria] Tomas. [Danny] Parker-Lopes...smoothly handles an assortment of wince-inducing chicken jokes...Praise also is due Breeze Braunschweig...who proves that you don't need lines to have an impact."
-CurtainUp.com

"Recommended...In its episodic nature and sensibility (and its set decoration by Marina Mouhibian) it evokes the great multimedia artist."
-Arts Meme

"The Spy Ants' production of bobrauschenbergamerica is upbeat, colorful and edgy ... definitely outside of the box."
-ActorsReporter.com

"This is the sort of show that makes you think...the sense of community is downright comforting...something that Rauschenberg would probably have been very happy to have his name on."
-TalkinBroadway.com

"...the action is both startling and disjointed...yet is cohesive enough to be visually entertaining...a provocative performance that if nothing else is definitely unlike anything else...nonsense becomes perfect sense in this wonderland filled with delightful, whimsical characters..."
-EyeSpyLA.com

"If you are looking for a good dose of visual stimulation, this is definitely the show to watch."
-Thespian Thoughts

"TheSpyAnts do the play...funky justice. Director Bart DeLorenzo's touches...are inspired."
-Neon Tommy

"A great bunch doing their wild thing...interesting and challenging evening."
