"Mr. Bloomquist's performance is the highlight of the evening."
Naugatuck Patch "Relatable enough to become the champion of the audience... [His] quick dialogue and performance [in] the leading role elevate him above the rest of the indie crowd." Lost in Reviews "A display of sheer creativity and impressive flexibility ... Here comes a filmmaker with gusto and talent to boot." popOptiq "Audience members...were awed by his command of the play’s opening monologue, a 15-minute soliloquy of sorts where he pours out his soul to the audience." Voices News "With giddy sophistication and blatant charm ... Bloomquist perfectly acts the quintessential matinee idol: bored, blasé, ’prettier than thou’ and obviously a cad. Dressed to the nines ... could he be a murderer?" Critics on the Aisle |
