Production Reviews

"The framework, especially Robin Riddihough's memory of Kingsmere set and David Magladry's lighting design are highly effective". - "Rexy" , Ottawa Little Theatre, Iris Winston, Web Theatre Review, October 30, 2001.

"...Magladry's lighting is effective and bold - at turns the stage gives off an other-worldly, glamorous red glow. When Don Quixote rises from his deathbed, alive after all, the lighting becomes golden, as if the sun has just come out". "Man of La Mancha" - Orpheus Musical Theatre
Adrienne Ascah - FYI Ottawa (print) - March 6,2001

"...The set is a jail ....enhanced by David Magladry's very strong lighting effects that brings us back to the Spanish Inquisition and maintains a good sense of foreboding" "Man of La Mancha" - Orpheus Musical Theater
Alvina Ruprecht - CBC Radio (CBO), March 5, 2001

"...Much of the play's success too depends not just on the actor's performances, but on the sensory touches provided by the costumes, the set and the lighting of those, and mention should go to Ann Ricard, Christie Bindhardt and David Magladry for their respective roles". "Man of La Mancha" - Orpheus Musical Theatre
Bruce Deachman - The Ottawa CItizen, March 4, 2001
