Lee Fiskness

Reviews

“The lighting by Lee Fiskness is equally gorgeous, full of vivid colors and wonderful saturation. It allows the performers to play with the silhouettes that dance beautifully across the colored scrim. Along with the scenic design by Arnulfo Maldonado that is anchored by a chandelier in the center, the entire play is like watching a work of art come to life on stage.” -Erin Marie Reiter- BroadwayWorld.com

“Special mention to Susan E. Mickey’s sculpted, textured gowns which displayed appropriate propriety, needed sensuality, and tangible evidence of the sumptuous wealth of Industrialism. Her expert eye and use of color weaves a compelling narrative alongside lighting designer Lee Fiskness. Compliments to director Yew for closing on a gorgeous and cathartic tableau, leaving audiences with a sense of completion akin to finishing a long novel.”  Kristen Nevarez Schweizer- vanguardculture.com

“Chay Yew stages a beautiful production with blocking that resembles paintings come to life. His wonderful placement of the actors and incorporation of Susan E. Mickey’s incredible costumes and Lee Fiskness’ hauntingly colorful lighting makes the evening at the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage a pleasure to watch.” David Dixon- San Diego Story

“Director Chay Yew's staging for The Old Globe has given The Age of Innocence a lushly costumed production designed by Susan E. Mickey on Arnulfo Maldonado's minimalist, uncurtained stage that swiftly transforms from scene to scene with the raising and lowering of a chandelier or a table that emerges from the stark white floor and isolated pieces of muted furniture delivered by stagehands dressed as lower-class 19th-century workers. Scenes are backlit with a glowing rear-wall screen of singular, solid primary colors that set the mood and provide evocative silhouettes of the ten-person cast as well as backing for pinpointed character moments. Lee Fiskness's lighting design makes for vivid, almost formal stage pictures.” Rick Pender- Talkin Broadway
