Safe At Home: An Evening With Orson Bean Reviews
Los Angeles Times- Recommended
"..."Safe at Home," a small local treasure performed a stone's throw from Bean's house on the Venice Canals, finds the old master in vintage form."
Broadway World- Recommended
"...While jokes may be the most "wildly reviled art form" according to Bean, he certainly knows how to deliver them with panache and warmth, no matter how corny they may be. Fellow long-time Pacific Resident member, director Guillermo Cienfuegos, matches Bean's energy and zest for life both on and off the stage, their collaboration a fitting tribute to how truthful communication makes great entertainment when delivered with wit and humor."

"...Director Guillermo Cienfuegos's sweet, but never sentimental, production allows Bean to emerge as a genial, unfailingly modest figure"

"...When I sat down to write my review of this production, I wasn't quite certain how to begin. Then I thought about it and the first thing I felt I had to say was "Don't miss this performance!

"...Why spend an evening with Orson Bean? The now 87 year-old performer of stage and screen naturally has a lifetime of memories to cherry pick and relate. More importantly, the man is a consummate raconteur who has honed his sleight-of-hand trickery and comic timing to perfection. His style is amiable and droll, easy and nimble."
Theatre Spoken Here- Recommended
"...The clever mix of humor, magic & melancholy works admirably throughout."
