“… I was, like everyone else in the audience seduced by the color, the music, the performances…On a visual level this was a production with economical and imaginative set design by Cristina Todesco that was lit exceptionally well by Mark Lanks and outfitted superbly by Carlos Romay…”
“The actors and artistic staff are more than up to the challenge of the play. Directory Lombardo keeps the action brisk and the comedy physical on Cristina Todesco’s wonderfully warped and wind-blown set (that by itself illustrates that the play’s characters are, as servant Agnes puts it, “living on the edge of destruction”).”
- Jennifer Brubriski, Edge:Boston about Silence
“The design is superb, starting with Cristina Todesco’s beautiful Magritte –like publishing office with sky-blue panels behind. Gail Astrid Buckley’s costumes and Mark Lank’s lights add to the luster of the production”
– Ed Siegel, The Boston Globe about The Violet Hour.
“Graduate student Cristina Todesco has created a marvelous scenic design, with its lovely cluttered country living room and over-arching Tudor ceiling. She is an up-and-coming designer to keep an eye on.”
- Terry Byrne, Boston Herald about Hay Fever.
“The Underpants makes the silly seem sophisticate”…”The writing, acting, direction, and set design (by Cristina Todesco, who creates a wonderful sense of depth in the small apartment) all make ‘’The Underpants” never less than amiable
- Ed Siegel, The Boston Globe, about The Underpants
“The space of the theatre is fantastic. Christina Todesco’s set design is superb; her use of levels lends itself to the possibility of creative blocking and stimulating lighting design.”
