REVIEWS

Derambakhsh finds hidden depths in Goli’s superficiality.
— The LA Times (English, The Old Globe)
Goli is played with sweet innocence by Ari Derambakhsh.
— The San Diego Union Tribune (English, The Old Globe)
In contrast to the world-weariness that peeks through the other characters, Derambakhsh portrays Goli with convincing innocence and naivete.
— San Diego Magazine (English, The Old Globe)
it was a very well-done show, as one would expect with that caliber of talent. There were some standouts though, Ari Derambakhsh stood out in her role as the young Goli.
— San Diego Jewish World (English, The Old Globe)
