“Lively and Kade Mendelowitz, Theatre UAF associate professor, do an outstanding job as the show’s set designers; some sets are drop-dead gorgeous and remarkably authentic to the era. The scene changes are virtually seamless. ‘Dead air’ between scenes often hampers elaborate productions, but this was not the case with “Singin’ in the Rain.” Mendelowitz and his student team even manage to create an amazing puddle-stompin’ rain set for the show’s title number.”

“Don’t miss “Singin’ in the Rain.” The show, a co-production of the Fairbanks Light Opera Theatre and Theatre UAF, is strong from start to finish. The costumes, music, lighting and dancing are wonderful.
The set in which is actually ‘rains’ on the stage is an outstanding piece of stagecraft.”
Columnist Dermot Cole for the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner

Touch review “Emotional trek on track”
“In the theatre world it’s often said that a lighting director succeeds if no one notices his or her work. But in a play that talks so much about the starry heavens, lighting can’t take a back seat. Again Kade Mendelowitz meets the challenge with an effective display.” Robert Hannon, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner

This production, from 2002, pre-dates quality digital photography. The slide conversion didn’t work as well as I would have hoped; but I hope you enjoy the images.
