"...Although author DeMartino intelligently charts the central dynamic, he hasn’t given its clashes and revelations very high stakes or much surprise, and the over-explicated dialogue specifies some things better left inferred through the rising action. “Finding Fossils” isn’t a bad play, but the literate familiarity and soft-cored impact seem more suited to the pages of the New Yorker."

"...Unlike in most dysfunctional families, the family members in Ty DeMarinto’s rambling, one-act drama are at least honest with each other."

"...The playwright’s aims seem modest: imparting simple if hardly revelatory truths about human nature. Director Suzanne Hunt and the capable actors do solid work in service of an intermittently involving but unremarkable script."

"...A grown son attempts to reconnect with his crotchety old man in Ty DeMartino’s first-rate dramedy Finding Fossils, a three-actor one-act which transcends soap opera through the playwright’s gift for believable dialog and a trio of superb performances at North Hollywood’s Road Theatre."

"...Finding Fossils has its heart in the right place, but it’s really a theater piece for older straight people who will see themselves in Vincent and find Gus’ plight “edgy.” For gay audiences, they might relate to the family dynamic, but Gus comes across as a jumble of “modern gay man living in New York City” stereotypes. He’s a bit too affected for us to care about, and Vincent is too stalwart for us to hope he’ll come around."
