"Physics of the heart [...] We learn about his (Feynman's) eccentricities: his bongo playing, his penchant for picking locks, and most notably his appreciation for women."
– The New York Times
​
"The Atomic Bomb is central to Giron's play, but it is also very much about human loves and losses. Giron is a wise, compassionate, and skilled playwright."
– New York Theatre Wire
​
"The themes in Moving Bodies are sex and science, atoms and anti-Semitism, consumerism and truth, and dysfunctional families and romantic love. It is a fascinating and engrossing drama."
– Backstage

Drama-Logue Critics Award for Outstanding Achievement in Theatre
This haunting, unusual play was created with members of the Illusion Theatre of Minneapolis, using their real life stories and those of their families to create a richly textured portrait of small town America from 1911 to the present. The play follows five families through three generations.
​
"Extols the virtues of an America solidly rooted in mid western values.... A comedy in the best sense, it celebrates the biological urge to survive despite adversity and affirms the triumph of love over fallibility" - Pittsburgh Press
​
"Superb theatre with the simplicity and power of Thornton Wilder." - San Diego Reader
​
Producer Experience, Perry S. :
"This is a challenging play that will push your actor's skills. They play multiple roles, and use several dialects. It is excellent for cross-curricular work with the social studies department as it deals with American families from 1911-1970's. The fluidly shifting scenes call for creativity in set, props and costumes. Lastly, it is an ideal way to use scripted theatre to build a sense of connection and shared humanity among the cast, crew, and your theatre community."

The result is a tumultuous, fascinating 16-year love affair that is wonderfully portrayed in Arthur Giron's Emilie's Voltaire [...] The captivating Emilie's Voltaire is an inside look at genius and the underlying emotions that feed it. Definitely a bit of history you're pleased to discover."

The author doesn't claim it happened exactly this way; he has just taken five real life characters and some basic biographical facts and supposed what it was like for Orville and Wilbur growing up in the dysfunctional Wright family. Flight takes place in Dayton, Ohio, and at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in the early 1900s. Not a documentary, the play explores the lives of the Wright family in warm and comic theatrical terms.
FLIGHT was the play that inspired what became the Ensemble Studio Theatre/Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Science & Technology Project ,an initiative designed to stimulate artists to create credible and compelling work exploring the worlds of science and technology and to challenge the existing stereotypes of scientists and engineers in the popular imagination.
"A witty, touching flashback ... There is poignancy between the laughs.-The New York Times
FLIGHT was adapted into the musical FIRST IN FLIGHT by David and Joe Zellnick for TheaterworksUSA , which toured 120 cities.
Full-Length Play, Comedy / 1f, 4m.
