The Rivalry by Norman Corwin/ Ford's Theatre
"... Parsons made his dialogue – which was principally taken from the Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858 – seem like brilliant improvisation, which it was. Whether he was portraying Lincoln’s awkwardness and loneliness, or the conflict he felt over his need to keep the Union together while being repulsed by the practice of slavery, Parsons hit his mark with the precision of a Union-Army sharpshooter. ."

Blasted by Sarah Kane/ Shotgun Players
Let it be known: Blasted at Shotgun Players is an incredible production all around, acting, directing, sound and set design, and especially amazing: actor Robert Parsons. Wow." Jean Schiffman- SF Examiner

Circle Mirror Transformation by Annie Baker/ Marin Theatre Company
"Robert Parsons is Schutlz, the group’s recently divorced sad sack. He provides a lot of the play’s humor as well as a lot of its heart. The game in which he explodes like an atomic bomb (he’s literally pretending to be a bomb) is like poetry and dance and comedy in a glorious few seconds." Chad Jones, theaterdogs

A Bright New Boise by Samuel D. Hunter/ Aurora Theatre Company
"It's a pretty safe bet that few in the audience for the Aurora Theatre's A Bright New Boise share the lead character's faith in the imminence of Armageddon. But I'd wager Robert Parsons will have no trouble winning over true believers in his performance as the fervent, deeply troubled fundamentalist Will." Robert Hurwitt, SF Chronicle
