“‘What if you are part of a play and you don’t know who else is starring with you?’ That was one of the teasers for “Experiment America” at the Institute of Contemporary Art on Friday, part of the weekend’s Emerging America theater festival. Instead of being asked to turn their cellphones off, participants were asked to turn them on, so they could receive text messages alerting them to performance opportunities all over the ICA’s four floors.”
- Jeffrey Gantz, The Boston Globe

“In the end it was not only an enjoyable evening, rather also a marvelously friendly utopia of fraternal life, without balancing the obvious unevenness, competition and jeering that characterizes this brotherly relationship.”
