From 
The Oregonian/OregonLive
​"The Talented Ones," a sharp, instantly engaging, alternately earnest and sardonic comedy by playwright Yussef El Guindi that's getting its world premiere at Artists Repertory Theatre, takes a deep dive into its real setting: the intersection between immigration and the American Dream."
