"[...] The tense silence contrasts markedly with scenes featuring slapstick-style comedy. Appropriately, Urrutia directs the actors with an over-the-top raucousness that is invigorating and entertaining. To their credit, the actors demonstrate deft comic timing while fully inhabiting their characters, always remaining in the moment. The actors are comical, in part, because they fully commit to their roles, endowing their performances with sincerity. Understandably, during the reviewed performance, audience members laughed heartily. [...] This production reinforces the show's grimness through, for instance, dark-colored clothing (Erin Proctor designed the character-appropriate costumes). In addition, the set's grim colors (grey and black) reflect the show's seriousness. Speaking of the set, scenic designer Indy Sulliero designed the playing space. It's a minimalistic design, with white splotches of paint covering greyish walls and black doors and ceiling, further reinforcing the darkness. [...] The author of those words, Prillaman, writes with clarity and a keen voice for absurdism. With Art Duty, he has penned a play that mirrors our troubled time, forcing the audience to confront the absurdity, discomfort, and dark humor of the world it reflects. The play offers no answers, no comfort — but it makes you watch, listen, and think, lingering long after the lights go out. -  Aaron Krause, Berkshire Fine Arts

"[...] Michael Font and Luis Otamendi play seven characters each. The two other characters are Jeff Burleson as eye-patch wearing security guard Tobin, and Maria Lopez as Guard No. 2 Asher. The guards are not depicted as male or female – their language doesn't speak to gender per se. [...] LakehouseRanchDotPNG did Sandusky, Ohio-based Prillaman's piece as a reading during its 2024 DotPDF series of new works from playwrights across the country. This is the first time it is receiving a full production. The set of gray walls with white conveys a claustrophobic, stark space. It also relays the idea that this is the only piece of art within Art Plaza. Sound by Alex Tarradell has wind whistling outside – there's a coldness to all of it. A clock chimes in between scenes, suggesting the passage of time, which also serves as the introduction of a new scene and new characters all played by Font and Otamendi. [...] Brandon Urrutia's direction finds its way to keep the two guards planted in place while the other characters come in and out creating a swirl of mayhem. The action moves swiftly in what is a complicated piece filled with entrances and exits. Urrutia also is the lighting designer, using muted hues to depict the cold environment of the two guards, and brighter tones for the characters who are juxtapositions of the guards –whirling much of the time in contrast with monotony of the two central characters.  - Michelle Solomon, Artburst Miami

"[...] This critic tried desperately to connect the dots. At some point, we wondered if the artists' aim was for you to connect the dots. We're guessing that this is about the nature of Art, its relationship with different types of people, but we're not laying bets. The company website adds, "….and what to do when you meet someone who doesn't think about killing themself." Perhaps not. Indeed, the program quotes Theatre of Cruelty writer Antonin Artaud's "I feel no hunger for death. I simply hunger not to be." How that quote and that earlier phrase relates to what Prillaman offers here certainly evaded this critic. [...] - Bill Hirschman, Florida Theater On Stage
