Feature: THE HEART SELLERS at Penguin Rep Theatre
by Bruce Apar - Jul 24, 2026
The over-arching message Lloyd Suh effectively communicates through his skillful writing and thematic development is that, as great as our homeland is in so many ways, the American dream is not necessarily the American reality for immigrants in ways that those of us born here are not privy to, and so cannot – or choose not to – sympathize with.

Review: LET THERE BE LOVE at Penguin Rep
by Peter Danish - Oct 9, 2023
What did our critic think of LET THERE BE LOVE at Penguin Rep? Quite often dramas concerning race, immigration, family squabbles (and other issues that we can’t reveal here without spoiling) tend to be in-your-face, preachy and heavy-handed. “Let There Be Love” is a play about all of the former, with none of the latter.
