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

Someone! 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."
