Reviews for Park Square Theatre & Wonderlust Productions' production of Six Characters in Search of an Author have been published by MN Theatre Love, Talkin' Broadway, Cherry and Spoon, Twin Cities Stages, and Macaroni. (Click each link for full review)

“The performances by the cast were universally excellent…each actor plays a recognizable "type" but delves below the surface to make each player specific. No matter how confusing the plot becomes, the cast is rock-solid in maintaining each distinctive character.” - MN Theatre Love
“The cast is marvelous…Paul LaNave as the Director of "The Maze" channels the manipulative force to get "reality TV" contestants to act according to his plans, turning real people into characters for a national audience. He becomes implosive at the possibilities raised by the new set of characters, balancing on the brink of being undone by the ecstasy of creativity, the terror of losing control, or both…a terrific work of theater, both thought provoking and greatly entertaining.” - Arthur Dorman, Talkin’ Broadway

"Six Characters is [still] a weird, trippy experience, one that's difficult to explain or make sense of. But it sure is fun to try…the cast is so talented (the reality show cast so natural, the ‘characters’ appropriately dramatic) that it's fun to watch them play.” - Cherry and Spoon
"Act 1 opened strong, the reality show nature of it felt real…but what really brought together this reality TV show world…was the manic desperation of the show-runner Paul (played by Paul LaNave).” - Twin Cities Stages
“The actors are uniformly competent. There are sometimes eight or ten people on stage at the same time, engaged in several conversations simultaneously, and it's clear that a good deal of effort was spent on perfecting the play's timing.” - John Toren, Macaroni
