MEMORY'S CARETAKER

"Bonin-Rodriguez has attained a new depth of complexity and a new level of craft in his use of language." — The San Antonio Express-News

THE TEXAS TRINITY

Theater Journal article

"It's all about Mr. Bonin-Rodriguez's humor, mimicry and expressive movement. He's got a knack for one-liners, but there's something deeper here, too; an empathy for outsiders that's slightly sentimental but too funny to be cloying." — Dallas Morning News

"He is in constant motion, whether dancing, working the Dairy Queen grill, or just being nervous with his hands. Truth to tell, though, his eyes and face are so expressive that he could probably do the show in a straitjacket." - The Louisville Courier Journal

"Bonin-Rodriguez moves about with unerring grace, and the alluring physicality of his performance separates him from some of the other performers in the…series." — The Louisville Courier Journal

"His phrases take dizzying turns that are at once hilarious and poignant; able to paint a scene or skewer a personality in a few lightning-fast words." — The Louisville Courier Journal

"The only impediments to having a good time at The Bible Belt and Other Accessories, though, would be not being able to handle either Mr. Bonin-Rodriguez's subject matter or the depth of his vision." — Dallas Morning News.

"It is in this moment of raw power that forces you to sit up and respect both Johnny and Bonin-Rodriguez, heretofore pleasant and unassuming in his tales of small-town intolerance and loneliness." — The Seattle Times

"Bonin-Rodriguez's performance skills draw intriguing pictures and tell engaging stories. The subject matter is backed-up by resonant writing." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

"From the incredibly funny scenes to bittersweet ones, Bonin-Rodriguez is able to find the complex feelings of the individual and flesh them out so well that the audience was engrossed through three acts without intermission." — Boston Bay Windows

"Bonin-Rodriguez maintains awesome control over sounds and silences, movement and dialect." — Austin American-Statesman

QUINCEAÑERA

"The actors take enormous risks leading the audience from hilarity to deeply moving in the blink of an eye." — The Santa Fe New Mexican

"Quinceañera," a theatrical reflection on 15 years of AIDS, leavens rage and sorrow with hope and sparkling hilarity It's a remarkable balancing act, and a rare congruence of form and substance." — The Santa Fe New Mexican
