The Jacksonian was a pleasure to work on and produced some favorable comments on my work from the Chicago theatre pages:
"Michael Rathbun’s dim, moody lighting design accentuates both the quirky gallows humor and the mysterious calamity that unfolds." - Chicago Theatre Review,
"On the technical end, the tandem of Michael Rathbun (lights) and Oliver Hickman (sound and music), reunited after their work on last season’s excellent “Our New Girl,” employ their formidable talents in an effort to project onto “The Jacksonian” an air of consequence" -- New City Stage,
"Katie Bell-Springmann's design enables the scenes to jump from Bill's motel room to the outside ice machine to the hotel bar/restaurant, with the help of Michael Rathbun's lighting design" -- Gapers Block,
"I did like the lighting (Michael Rathbun) and the original music/sound by Oliver Hickman." - Around The Town Chicago
