“Camino Real ... is itself a sustained series of alarms. The setting is a dusty town square, bordered on one side by the posh Siete Mares Hotel and on the other by the city’s worst quarter, fronted by the Ritz Men Only, a dangerous flophouse. Heat-dazed tourists—are we in Mexico? Morocco? Spain?—are drawn to the seductive locals, who pick pockets and give the wrong change. When a visitor can’t pay his keep, military police take aim with their pistols, and cackling street-sweepers whisk the body away.

Making art, being art—it all feels like too much to bear. W71—the seventy-first season of the summer festival, which was founded a year after “Camino Real” premièred—is trying to assure us that the enterprise is anything but exhausted.”

“Altman’s Léonide shares enchanting chemistry with nearly everyone, but her
encounters with Kellogg as Agis are sweet and splendid. They are adorable together and it’s easy to root for this pair.”

“Rob B. Kellogg charms as the affable Agis whom the princess is truly after. ”

“A new adaptation of John Gay’s 1728 satire The Beggar’s Opera ... Several supporting performances stand out ... Christopher Bannow and Rob Kellogg valiantly dive elbow-first into David Brimmer’s fight choreography as a pair of old-timey boxers. Everyone keeps up with a staging that could easily double as an eccentric gym routine.”

“on the scene is Boy (Rob Kellogg), the Boontling-speaking, guitar-strumming dogged suitor repelled by Bulrusher, whose songs are a highlight of the production.”

“Kellogg manages to imbue a galootishly misguided boy next door with something like an actual soul as he struggles to atone for previous bad behavior now that he finds himself inexorably drawn to Bulrusher.”

“Rob Kellogg infuses the character with raw passion and high energy.”
