"The strength in Brook’s delivery rests in his knack for appealing to the audience.

"Most one-person shows require charisma or an “it” factor which brings the audience into the play without seeming desperate. Brook has all these qualities while coupling with them a focused trajectory of what messages need to be hit for the audience."

"Brook’s presentation is riveting, educational, and thought provoking."
