"...“The Bauhaus Project,” now making its world premiere in an Open Fist Theatre Company production directed by Martha Demson, surveys its subject like an introductory seminar. The play might as well be organized as a series of PowerPoint presentations. The classroom ambience is intentional."

"...Over the past two decades, Tom Jacobson has established himself as one of L.A.’s most adventurous and original playwrights, creating such risk-taking winners as Bunbury, Ouroboros, The Twentieth Century Way, and his extraordinary Bimini Baths Trilogy. I can’t, unfortunately, add Bauhaus Weimer, Part One of his World Premiere triptych The Bauhaus Project, to that list."

"...Entering any theatre, we are tasked to abandon disbelief. Even with being unsure who's who.. this second presentation is truly informative. The first act is interminable, but we stick it out and wind up in Berlin where the gesso hits the fan. I'll let you figure out who's who bur hope you'll book both shows in order and get back to me. It's an vital lesson regards the importance of art in our world today."

"...As concept, The Bauhaus Project bursts with possibilities for drama and intrigue. Its stories are multiple. The play is filled with interesting characters, including rebels and rule breakers and people who literally changed the world‘s thinking about art. These people lived at a crucial time and place in history, when the human spirit was under threat from the darkest of dark forces. The parallels with what is happening today are not difficult to grasp."

"...The history Jacobson scrutinizes in The Bauhaus Project is certainly fascinating, but hey—we live in an era where streaming a documentary on the History Channel delivers the same general information without sitting through two nights and five-plus hours reminiscent of a student presentation at a junior college you were obligated to attend to support the teenage son or daughter of some well-meaning family member."
