New Barista in "Mercy Killing"

"Completing this talented quartet of actors is Artem Kreimer, who portrays a variety of different characters. He’s sometimes the murder victims and occasionally an hilarious and hopelessly clueless new barista that Mercy has been assigned to train. And his layered portrayal of Harmon, another Angel of Death, has a long and complicated history with his coworker, Thana...From this actor’s versatility in this production, hopefully Mr. Kreimer will be featured in many more productions around Chicago."

Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review

"With an ensemble of four...this show is entertainingly bizarre. With some of the best moments performed by Mr. Kreimer – who plays various characters, dies several times, and portrays an amusing handyman – the show moves along at a good pace, never dragging."

Alli Doubek, Entertaining Chicago

"Kreimer, meanwhile, not only supplies Harmon with a comic deftness, but he brilliantly differentiates a series of smaller roles."

Brian Kirst, Windy City Times

"Artem Kreimer embodies several roles throughout the story, showing off his versatility from annoying cafe customer to murder victim to awkward work ex."

Row Light, Third Coast Review

"The road to confession is strewn with Erica’s close encounters with various tantalizing objects...These flirtatious entities are given voice, and impressionistic physical life, by a spirited chorus of performers made up of Artem Kreimer, Nancy Tatiana Quintana and Michael Oloyede."

Ben Brantley, The New York Times

"Kreimer is rocking it as a vintage lamp"

Asya Danilova, OnStage Blog

 

"Artem Kreimer is the sinuously sexy lamp"

Ed Karam, OffOffOnline

"All these objects and more are brought engagingly to life by a versatile 'chorus' of three actors"

Juliet Hindell, The Tribeca Trib

"These  objects...are embodied by the flexible and creative team of actors...who also do double or triple duty as neighbors, reporters, and other such judgmental residents of this small Massachusetts town that have no problem being as vocal as Erika’s lamp."
Steven Ross, Front Mezz Junkies

"Other notable moments include...confrontational art lessons from the 1980’s Basquiat-type (by a supremely committed Artem Kreimer)."

"Kreimer, unsurprisingly, provides the majority of comic relief. From then on, the ball gets rolling and the play becomes thoroughly enjoyable..."

"[Oberon] is suitably regal, especially in his dealings with his servant Puck, played with wild abandon by Artem Kreimer. The duo provides the bulk of the comedy and all of the energy, clambering across the stage and shinnying up the columns as they plot and twist the lovers' lives into knots. Kreimer is a wonder, dancing his character into being with supernatural grace and fey presence."

Paul Friswold, Riverfront Times

 

"Puck gets the best of the movement; it's a delightfully physical performance by Artem Kreimer."

Bob Wilcox, KDHX St. Louis
