TOOTSIE


Jack L. B. Gohn for Broadway World; TOOTSIE, 2021

"Steve Brustien brings a trifle more warmth to the role of Stan the agent, than did Sydney Pollack in the film, but has the same weary, seen-it-all, skeptical demeanor. "

Amanda L. Gunther for Theatre Bloom; TOOTSIE, 2021

“(TOOTSIE) has the ball-busting, fury-driven and mouthy agent… Brustien brings vivacious life to his character…(Steve’s) mannerisms and overall delivery of the gritty, agent is divine.”

Anthony Chase for Buffalo News; TOOTSIE, 2021

 "In playing Michael's agent, Stan Fields, Steve Brustien proves to have a genius for deadpan reactions . "

Lynne Meneffee for Maryland Theatre Guide; TOOTSIE, 2021

 "Steve Brustien as Michael's agent, gives a great comic turn." 

BLACK ANGELS OVER TUSKEGEE


Dr. Derek Suite for “The Suite Spot "; BLACK ANGELS OVER TUSKEGEE

 "Steve Brustien who plays the commander of the Angels provides the tension… Brustien is always fresh and energetic as the highly credible commander. Though Brustien plays a convincingly abrasive, no nonsense commander, he is never over the top which is refreshing. Brustien skillfully allows his tough-nosed character to show just enough empathy. Without Brustien’s volcanic performance the play certainly would have been too soft, and perhaps predictably sentimental."
