Lovell Estelle III Review- LA Weekly
GO BRONZEVILLE
"...an artfully designed set piece by J.P. Luckenbach."
Charlotte Stoudt Review- LA Times
Bronzeville Sarah Happel - Socal.com
"J.P. Luckenbach’s set design is masterfully unique and functional."
Nicole Collins - LASplash
"Bronzeville is easily the best play I have seen in years...The small set never changes but serves as a family's home, a night club, a camera shop, a police station, a garden, and so on. As an audience member, you feel incredibly connected to the events taking place. "
Bronzeville Review by Ross Anthony
"The set sprawls lengthwise across this long narrow space. It's inviting, welcoming, and wooden. Warmly reminds me of home with a beautiful staircase to a merely hinted at second floor with moonlight softly illuminating the front door window."
Bronzeville co-author Aaron Woolfolk
...the direction and the use of the space was fantastic," "incredible," and "masterfully executed."
Spring's Awakening National Youth Theatre
A Funny Thing...National Youth Theatre
"JP Luckenbach has designed a remarkable Roman set in which so many funny things happened."
Nominated for Outsatnading Set Design 2009.
It's Only Life by Philip Brandes
"Production values are far higher than the typical bar for revues."
It's Only Life by Steven Stanley
Stage Scene LA.com
"The final moments of It's Only Life are a breathtaking blend of set, lighting, and imagination."
A House With No Walls by Philip Brandes
A House With No Walls By Steven Stanley
Stage Scene LA.com
"As both political drama and history lesson, A House With No Walls is well worth seeing."
Rob Hopper National Youth Theatre
Chicago National Youth Theater
Hope Runs Eternal by David Avery
Red River By J.L. Curtin
"The sets, designed by Sinead Thibault, David A. Cox and J.P. Luckenbach and dressed by Eileen Dietz-Albany are quite impressive in materials and concept, as there are many shifts in locale."
Why Is The Dog Howlin', Mama? By Rosalyn Rosen
"David Cox directs an amazingly talented cast and brings out the deep Texas flavor in each of them. His innovative set design (worth seeing by itself) turns the stage into a metaphor for the family's struggle, as the two sets fluidly shift from dens of tranquility to madness."

The Russians Are Here! By Danny Margolies
Back Stage West
