Reviews
"Crisp, precise, and thoughtful...performing with interesting and specific physicality." -Cherry and Spoon for Harold Pinter's The Dumbwaiter
"Jimmy... is hilariously portrayed with such lifelike accuracy by Robert Wood Frank that it is astonishing to know that he is a recent transplant to Chicago. Every word and movement by him on stage oozes original Chicagoan. He's like a young Mike Royko, thought provoking and bringing the laughs." -Talkin Broadway for Tom Dudzick's Miracle on South Division Street
"The physical antics of Robert Wood Frank as hapless brother Jimmy steal the show." -Splash Magazine for Tom Dudzick's Miracle on South Division Street
