CRITICAL RESPONSE: 
"ART Shines for Sycamore Rouge and Richmond Shakespeare," Mondo Johnny (blog posts of WCVE [NPR affiliate] critic John Porter)
"Director kb saine has crafted a witty production... a well done play that will make you laugh and think – sometimes at the same time."

"Theatre Review: "Art" at VMFA'a Leslie Cheek Theatre," GayRVA
"Director k.b. saine’s deeply theoretical, well-paced proceedings tone down Marc and Serge’s relational aggression and instead channel the friendship’s (…or shall I say rivalry?) exponential hostility as an indictment of Jacques Derrida’s deconstructionist philosophy – in laymen terms – that “modern” art is a cultural construction."
