MARCUS STEVENS
Red Photos and Reviews


"Those who wonder where the next generation of musicals will come from need look no farther than the Playhouse of Point Park College where Red had its world premiere"

--Alice T. Carter, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

"The writers challenge conventions at every turn."

--John Hayes, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"Red is far from a 'docu-musical' with a simple beginning, incident-filled middle and heartbreaking ending: Instead it's decidedly postmodern, with a heavy nod to the ghost of Bertolt Brecht and as much focus on the storytelling style as the story being told."

--Ted Hoover, Pittsburgh City Paper

"Red is engaging, funny and poignant."

--John Hayes, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"[Lenny] Bruce emcees the events of the Rosenberg story if not--given the multiplicity of theatrical styles hurled at us by Stevens--acting as ringmaster."

--Ted Hoover, Pittsburgh City Paper

"What Stevens and Lowdermilk have acheived is quite remarkable. They've tackled a complex, difficult subject and presented it with sophisitication, maturity, interesting characters and a couple of very moving songs."

--Alice T. Carter, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
