"...An ensemble effort of the most appetizing kind, Rorschach's staging of "Human Museum" throws an attic's worth of ephemera into realizing Conley's idiosyncratic futurescape, with a look and feel so agreeably cluttered there's almost no distinguishing between props, costumes, set pieces and makeup design. It's all arrayed in the quirky service of a story that's as interested in the act of archiving as in the meaning of the archive: To collect, to hold, to interpret, Conley's wonderfully curious robots seem to be saying, is inevitably to merge the subject into the self."

"...The premise of Human Museum is incredibly original, fascinating, and prescient. At times, the script veers toward sentimentality, but generally, it remains grounded in the gripping reality of an all-too-possible "What if?" scenario. Despite the morbid premise, Human Museum manages to infuse fun and delight into this imagined future, with the heart of the story being a loveable crew of robots who are more human than they think."

"...Consistent with Rorschach Theatre’s adventurously immersive productions, the company’s latest, The Human Museum by Miyoko Conley, engages audiences in playful conversation with its themes well before the show even begins."

"...This play is one worth seeing. The premise will make you think. The director's deft touch will make you wonder, and the actors' stellar performances just might make you reconsider your stance on robots-friend or foe?"
