"Brian Michael Hoffman gets numerous laughs as Geordie Parven, who is introduced to us in a statement-making red speedo. Hoffman knows how to balance the humor with the endearing, sweet side of Geordie, and the audience clearly enjoys every moment that he is on stage." - Kiersten Bjork, White Birch Blog "The biggest special effect in 'Maggie' is a comical one: an exuberant villager named Geordie Parven (played by Brian Michael Hoffman) prancing about in a Speedo. There are a few other deliberately big laughs like that in the show, where characters react strongly to something bizarre or awkward, then continue to shake their heads or chuckle when the encounter is over. Those moments are the kind of comedy that works best." - Christopher Arnott, Hartford Courant "As a still-young widow, Maggie has wooers and potential mates, one of whom, Geordie Parven (Brian Michael Hoffman) likes to parade around town in a Speedo. Although eccentric, Geordie has undeniable charm." - Robert Schneider, Plays International "Brian Michael Hoffman has a scene-stealing turn as a very confident local man who has no qualms about wearing a Speedo." - Kristina Dorsey, The Day
