"Best Place To Catch A Queer-Friendly Show" "A unique location such as this fills in all the elements of art in one space." - Richard Bestwick, Phoenix Art Space, March, 2007
Reader's Choice - "Best Place To Hang Out On First Friday"
Phoenix New Times Best Of 2006 Issue"Soul Invictus is one of those hard to define spaces that occupies a world of its own... As something of a throw back to the sixties, the unexpected surfaces in the type of place you expect to see the unexpected... Soul Invictus is a multi media and multi cultural bit of "uber" subversion that is fun, and defiantly filled with a strong GLBT sensibility." - Kurt von Behrmann, Outlook Arizona, August, 2006
"If you're looking for edgy arts in Phoenix, there's one place you absolutely have to go: Soul Invictus Gallery and Cabaret. This venue for the arts is a collaborative effort to fight the evil overlords of censorship." - Heather Hansaard, The College Times, April 13, 2006
"Everyone at Soul Invictus Artists' Collective totally rocked. It was a smallish but loud and raucous crowd and it was a blast to play for them. And I have tons of respect for them for carving out this non-traditional progressive, queer and trans-inclusive space in an area that may not be so inclined to that." - Chris O. of the Ex-Boyfriends
"I love this space. It's so comfortable. It kinda reminds me of CBGB's in New York City. Without the scary bathrooms..." - Namoli Brennet
"At Soul Invictus I was reminded of some of the best shows I've seen from [Dead Hot Workshop] post original guitarist Steve Larson, and my friend and I rocked out as hard as you can sitting on a couch." - Daysleeper Jonathan Bond, AZNightBuzz.com
"Over the last few years, Grand has grown into a unique, provocative and interesting area to spend time. New additions like Soul Invictus, who bring an interesting dynamic of eclectic theater to the neighborhood, are furthering the area as a vital and unique destination." - Amy L. Young, Java Magazine, February 2006
"It's the kind of theatre I've dreamed of for this town: low- and high-brow, too arty for it's own good yet featuring an assortment of wood and metal chairs, couches, and strange sculptures. Before the show, you can get a discount from the Paisley Violin next door. You enter through an art gallery beneath a giant Bush-bashing billboard, exit the back of the building, and then head into a former garage. Then you can sit and watch @PRO mount the eclectic, the cutting edge, and the just plain weird. For most cities, this is old hat. Here, it's a blessing.- Mark P. Turvin, Goldfish Publishers, February 2006
