" The gifted Paulie Jenkins gives us the evocative lighting we have come to expect of her."

- T.S. Kerrigan, Drama-Logue

"Paulie Jenkins’ splashes of hot light (in the hallway), contrasting with the cool moonlight streaming in the almost empty room...create a lustrous element of mystery and intrigue."

- Sylvie Drake, LA Times

" And Paulie Jenkins’ lighting is, as they love to say here and in Westchester, to die for."

Rumors, Laguna Playhouse
