Reviews
"Lighting designer Paulie Jenkins enhances Faulkner’s free-floating set with subtle color changes that emphasize the cerebral backdrop of ideas. Especially effective is her murky mood setting at the end of Act One when the shift of lighting alerts the audience to the start of the dream sequence." Man and Superman, SCR - Robert J. Sessions, Drama-Logue
"As director, Gordon Davidson is efficient—the stage is kept open and is transformed into many locations with the help of a pro and Paulie Jenkins’ fluid lighting." Nine Armenians, Mark Taper Forum - Laurie Winer, LA Times
"Scenic designer Tom Buderwitz has created a finely detailed desert retreat…splendidly lit by Paulie Jenkins." The Ice-Breaker, Laguna Playhouse - Tom Titus, Coastline Pilot
