Chicago’s top papers give The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow (I designed the set) top marks.

At Collaboraction, ‘Jenny Chow’ a must-see
By Chris Jones

Tribune theater critic

Jennifer Shin must have been waiting for Jennifer Marcus her entire life. Or so this young Chicago actor’s blistering, careermaking performance atop a fabulous little Collaboraction show suggests.

Penned by Rolin Jones, one of those clever young writers known for language, “The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow: An Instant Message With Excitable Music” sits on the page with a post-modern haze. To the casual reader it might seem hyperkinetic or pretentious. But in production — especially this production — this hip, smart and insightful play roars to life. (more…)

 

This fall I became a company member at Silk Road Theatre Project. As Resident Scenic and Lighting Design I have a real artist home at SRTP. Our current project Golden Child has been a challengering and highly rewarding one, and its a great night at the theatre, so go see it. My set gets a good nod in the review below.

Cultures clash tragically in ‘Child’

East meets West in David Henry Hwang’s “Golden Child,” but not in a stereotypical way.

Instead, he refigures the concept, setting the play in 1918 China, where much like today, globalization is changing the way the Chinese think about themselves and the world. (more…)

 

The Dueling Critics on Chicago Public Radio’s 848 have nothing but praise for Collaboraction’ The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow:
