...UNCANNY SENSE OF THE MOMENT...
"After 20 years of shooting hundreds of productions, Lee has an uncanny sense of the moment. This book of photographs captures the ephemeral, the defining moment of a character, of a performance, of a play."

--Patrick Mulcahy
Producing Artistic Director
Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival



...A GENIUS...
"Lee is a genius at capturing a theatrical moment. No one takes a better picture"

--Greg Wood / Actor



...MAGNETIC AND DARING...
"The photographs [are] so magnetic and daring, they make you want to see the show you've just seen."

--Geoff Gehman
Art & Theatre Critic
