Anna In The Tropics
This beauty is an equal product of Cruz’s words, the actors’ artisty under Kokernot’s guidance, and the design of the world around them. Andrea Heilman’s set is simple but just gorgeous. The walls are made up of lines of translucent yellowed pages from a book. - Single White Fringe Geek

Bars and Measures at the Jungle Theater
“Ellington's music fits in nicely with Andrea Heilman's neon-streaked set, split into a drab prison and a sleek, modern apartment.” - Graydon Royce

“Together with Andrea Heilman's evocative set—the stark prison visitor room on one side, Eric's contemporary-styled apartment, complete with hardwood floors and grand piano, on the other, and Michael Wangen's lighting design, the look and sound of the production add to the momentum of its narrative. “ - Arthur Dorman

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
Everything in the physical space is indicative of Christopher and his way of thinking; things are neat, clean, and orderly in his world. However, the chaotic outside world is represented in the stage’s background, where abstract and ominous patterns connect back to Christopher’s anxieties. These feelings are made even more potent through the impressive technical design.
Andrea Heilman’s intense and thoughtful lighting design adds emotional layers to the performance, along with the exquisite sound design provided by Hovis that only adds to the intensity and realness of every scene. - The Orange Curtain Review

Yellowman
Khanisha Foster's direction... provides both detachment from the subject matter, while maintaining an epic sense of possibility. But with the help of Andrea Heilman's dizzying array of lights, and Darryl B. Hovis’ dramatic sound effects, she makes sure the audience's focus never drifts from the actors, who create, over the course of the performance, the wide array of locations and attitudes that follow the show's central couple through 20 years or so in their relationship. - The Show Report
