Myers and composer Ron Poulson." Assassins, Directed by Richard Israel, West Coast Ensemble, 2008 Marvelous Wonderettes Directed by Roger Bean, The Laguna Playhouse, 2008 The Los Angeles Times, by David C. Nichols "Our first sight of Michael Carnahan's superb set -- a forced-perspective gymnasium complete with water fountains, crepe-papered girders and Springfield Chipmunk banners -- elicits a grin. Jeremy Pivnick lights it with candied expertise, and Cricket Myers' sound design keeps the canned accompaniment from distracting." Saturday Night at the Palace Directed by Damaso Rodrigez, The Furious Theater Company, 2008 The Los Angeles Times, by Charlotte Stoudt "The design elements, especially Cricket S. Myers' relentlessly percussive sound, create an atmosphere of exhaustion bordering on delirium. " Stupid Kids Directed by Michael Matthews, The Celebration Theater, 2008 The Los Angeles Times, by David Nichols "Director Michael Matthews elevates Russell's geek fantasy, probing its ritual surface to find the truth in its precocity, aided by Marvin Tunney's choreography, Tim Swiss' lighting, Marjorie Lockwood's costumes and a soundtrack by Cricket S. Myers and composer Ron Poulson." 1776 Directed by Richard Israel, The Actor's Co-op, 2008 The Los Angeles Times, by David Nichols " A. Jeffrey Schoenberg's gorgeous costumes denote class distinctions, beautifully lighted by Lisa D. Katz, and the ubiquitous Cricket S. Myers provides crucial sound effects." Prove it on Me, Directed by Kelly Ford, Stella Adler Theater, 2007 Trying, Directed by Cameron Watson, The Colony Theater, 2007 Walkin' Thru the Fire, Directed by Che' Rae Adams, The Hayworth Theater, 2007 The Los Angeles Times, David Nichols "The production is clearly a labor of love, with glossy contributions by J. Kent Inasy (lighting) and Cricket S. Myers (sound), and it carries an engaging authority that trumps some self-indulgent patches." Backstage West, Neal Weaver "The elegantly sparse set by Sara Ryung Clement, lighting design by J. Kent Inasy, and sound design by Cricket S. Myers combine to produce rich theatrical imagery." Impending Rupture of the Belly, Directed by Damaso Rodriguez, The Furious Theater Company, 2007 Backstage West, Les Spindle "The milieu is spellbinding: the unnerving noises of honking horns and barking dogs emanating from Cricket S. Myers' fine soundtrack, the congested landscape of skeletal homes in Dan Jenkins' inspired scenic design, and the unnerving mood shifts in Christie Wright's fabulous lighting design." LA Times, Calender Live, F. Kathleen Foley "Dan Jenkins' appropriately totalitarian scenic design resembles cinder blocks, set off by metaphoric splashes of red. Christie Wright's minatory lighting and Cricket S. Myers' strident sound complete the striking picture of a Pasadena neigh-borhood as a suburban war zone." LA Weekly, Steven Mikulan "Scenic designer Dan Jenkins’ waffle-board cutouts of city buildings, Cricket Myers’ thunderous sound design and Christie Wright’s ominous lighting all combine to create a diorama of dread." Variety, Terry Morgan "No one is credited for the choice of music that roars between each scene, but the use of such bands as Fear and Morphine to create a jarring, dissonant vibe is bluntly effective." Beautiful Thing, Directed by Michael Matthews, The Celebration Theater, 2007 Variety, Bob Verini "An array of nonstop sound effects assembled by Cricket S. Myers helps to evoke London's Thamesmead, one of those housing developments in cities worldwide whose very silhouette exudes hopelessness. " The Bacchae, Directed by Michael Matthews, The Celebration Theater, 2007 ****Nominated for an OVATION AWARD, SOUND DESIGN 2007 Backstage West "The sound design (Cricket Myers), which features the music of Ryan Poulson, is almost a character unto itself. Myers creates the sort of aural background that demands to be noticed but never distracts from the central work. " The Los Angeles Times, Calander Live "Upon entering the venue, which set designer Kurt Boetcher covers with graffiti and foliage, audiences may wonder if they've stumbled into a rave. That is the intent, from the first metallic slash over the sound system to the last flash-lighted incantation....Marjorie Baer's costumes, Tim Swiss' lighting, Cricket Myers' sound and Ryan Poulson's original music are all lean and evocative." Orestes Remembered: The Fury Project, Directed by Kathrine Noon, Ghost Road Theater Company, 2007 LA Weekly "Maureen Weiss’ fold-out ramshackle-house set comes packed with metaphors, Cricket Myers’ sound design rumbles and explodes with both latent menace and shock. " Iphigenia Crash Lands Falls on a Neon Shell that was Once Her Heart, Directed by Matthew McCray, Son of Semele, 2006 ***Nominated for an LA WEEKLY THEATER AWARD 2006 Sound Design and Production Design LA Weekly "John Eckert’s lighting design and Cricket S. Myers’ sound design underscore the building menace, and Ryan Poulson’s original music also deserves kudos. " Marvelous Wonderettes Directed by Rodger Bean, El Portal Forum Theater, N. Hollywood, 2006 Los Angeles Times, Calander Live "Bean's adroit staging, the quartet's exceptional vocal and physical finesse, the dynamics of Brian Baker's orchestrations, Allen Everman II's musical direction and Cricket S. Myers' pristine sound, make every moment — comic and musical — count." I Have Before Me a Remarkable Document Given to Me by a Young Lady from Rwanda, Directed by David Rose, The Colony Theater, Burbank, 2006 www.variety.com "A. Jeffrey Schoenberg's costumes, however, add a sense of authenticity to the proceedings, and Cricket Myers' sound design is low-key and effective. " A Vast Wreck, Directed by Dara Weinburg, Theatre of NOTE, Hollywood, 2006 www.Laist.com "The sound world designed by Cricket Myers is fast paced, consistent with themes, and, at times, feels like a soundtrack from a Tony Scott (Domino) thriller. " Floyd Collins, Directed by Richard Israel, West Coast Ensemble, Hollywood, 2005 King Cat Calico Finally Flies Free Directed by Edgar Landa, Son of Semele, Silverlake, 2006 Where's my Money, Directed by Rick Sparks, Hudon Guild Theatre, Hollywood, 2005 Bent, Directed by Claudia Jaffee, Deaf West Theatre, N. Hollywood, 2005 Kookamonga Falls, Sacred Fools, Directed by David MacIntyre, Hollywood, 2005 |
