The K of D - Woolly Mammoth Theatre “The plentiful sound effects by Matt Otto combine with Andrew F. Griffin’s clever, shadowy lights and silhouettes in a tasteful low-budget spectacular.” - Nelson Pressley - The Washington Post ·”The technical team behind this production are marvels at setting the stage...Andrew F. Griffin’s light design makes one believe in birds flying across the room or a stranger at the door in the moonless darkness of a rainy night, let alone the fear of on-coming headlights.” - David Siegel, PotomacStages.com “Andrew F. Griffin’s lighting effects and projections of leaves and trees and looming male figures add to the supernatural aura.” - Jayne Blanchard, The Washington Times “Gilbert’s marvelous work is supplemented by lighting designer Andrew F. Griffin and particularly by sound designer Matt Otto, whose soundscape for this show would make great radio.” - Lorraine Treanor, dctheatrereviews.com House of Yes - Washington Shakespeare Company “Hovde keeps the pace swift and the transitions fluid, and his shrewd calibrations of tone allow the play to flex all its dramatic muscles. He receives a major assist from lighting designer Andrew F. Griffin, whose effects range from lightning to candle flames, and who enhances intimate moments with evocative pools of shadow. Sound designer Matt Otto provides a near-continuous soundscape of lashing wind and rain that, were there any justice in the world, would score him a lucrative sinecure with the Weather Channel.” - Celia Wren - The Washington Post Edward III - Washington Shakespeare Company “Andrew F. Griffin’s complex lighting design is the best I’ve ever seen at Washington Shakespeare Company” - Tim Treanor, DC Theatre Reviews Life is a Dream - Journeymen Theatre “...Andrew F.

Griffin calibrates his lights to extract maximum drama from the extraordinary amphitheater...” - Trey Graham - Washington City Paper (August 18, 2006) The Furies - The Catholic University of America “The 12 Furies’ Frightfulness was heightened by the outstanding lighting...” Mark J.
