"A Report to an Academy is a successful adaptation of Franz Kafka’s short story in that it effectively conveys its meaning and absurdity."

"The acting was sincere and resonated with the audience."

"(David) Robinette... in key moments of reflection...kept his intensity....enough to carry the performance."

"(Leon) Khachooni played the silent guitarist with great humor."

"The small setting allowed the audience to participate in a way that might not have been possible in a larger venue. The dim lighting and cozy living room atmosphere created by Lorrie Hullbrand worked brilliantly in that regard."

"American Theater Project’s stage-adaptation of Franz Kafka’s A Report to an Academy for the Hollywood Fringe Festival avoids engaging in the repulsive discourse of stubborn pseudo-intellectual vacuity."

"Updated with relevancy, employing sound, geography, metaphoric texture, dark humor and kinetic drama, director Tom Draper seduces metaphor off the stage, thrusting it into the lives of those who have come to bear witness to Red."
 
"David Robinette is completely engrossing as he glowers over his audience in role of Red -- he is consummate and it is easy to forget that he is not actually an albino ape impersonating civility through pangs of conscious Stockholm Syndrome. Robinette can artfully draw both sympathy and deep electric laughter from his audience with a single glazed glance or sarcastic punch line. He provocatively interprets Red as a tremor of revolted intensity."

"The gentle sirenic undulations of lone guitarist Subliminal Jim (alluringly performed by Leon Khachooni)."

"Subversive stage chemistry between Robinette, Khachooni and Draper; their stylish finessing of Kafka’s paradoxes; and the many questions and wonders that linger in the mind for days after seeing the various torments presented by ATP’s A Report to an Academy."

"There are several other notable elements of this Hollywood Fringe production that deserve mention but to explicate them further would do a horrible disservice to affect-worthy viewers and the production itself. Theatregoers can experience Red in person at the Hollywood Film & Acting Academy; it's playing every day in Los Angeles until June 27."
