JUMP LITTLE CHILDREN @ DOCK STREET THEATRE

“Lauren Duffie designed the lights for every Dock Street Theatre show in our history.

ELEVEN times we put her through hell: gave her an inadequate amount of time to do magical things, with practically no budget.
And every time, she was able to create an ambiance and added a level of professionalism that a rock band barely deserves.

She was the first person we reached out to when we knew we were going to do the show in December; this time we had even less time for her and had to focus more on remembering the music than developing a theme for the night(s), as we usually did.

This didn’t deter or stop her from producing the same magical things we knew she would.

We love you, Duffie”
-Matt Bivins, THE JOURNAL
