"Along with the actors, the design team create[s] a beautiful and lively production from the temple-like set...to the colorful concert-like lighting design (Nicole E. Lang)"
-SOUTH FLORIDA THEATER, LUIS ROBERTO HERRERA
"Meanwhile, lighting designer Nicole Lang focuses the actors, and deftly differentiates between realism and non-realism. More specifically, she bathes the stage with less intense lighting during moments of memory and with brighter, realistic lighting when the play takes place in 1984"
-MIAMI ART ZINE, AARON KRAUSE
"With no other set pieces, the crucial changes in decades and locations falls to lighting designer Nicole E. Lang with colored shafts of light..."
-FLORIDA THEATER ON STAGE, BILL HIRSCHMAN
