"And Kevin Fraser, the lord of lighting, once again knows how to turn illumination into art..."
Richard Ouzounian, Toronto Star
"Kevin Fraser’s lighting design is superb: it bathes the stage in warm colour washes, using its palette for simple or expressionistic effects, making tints and accents vividly theatrical. "
Keith Garebian, stageandpage.com
Sister Act, Drayton Entertainment
"Kevin Fraser's lighting design is flawless…"
Joe Belanger, London Free Press
Peter Grimes, Vancouver Opera
"Kevin Fraser's lighting... is an atmospheric triumph, from ominous, orange-tinged clouds scudding across a mackerel sky, to the serenity of a night scene where the planks of the quay shine like bleached bones in moonlight."
Louise Whitney, The Courier
Shakespeare's Will, Merrimack Rep
"Kevin Fraser's lighting design is most effective in setting the mood, the weather or the time of day... the lighting effect is incredibly evocative."
Nancy Grossman, www.broadwayworld.com
Peter Pan, Stratford Festival
"Kevin Fraser's lighting is obliged to be subtle, trying to avoid flying wires and other bits of theatrical trickery, but it leads him into a more painterly style of presentation, with moments such as Peter's arrival at Neverland, or the first sight of Hook's Jolly Roger, that will take your breath away."
Richard Ouzounian, Toronto Star
Man of LaMancha, Stratford Festival
"...lighting by Kevin Fraser, looks nothing less than wonderful. A torch-lit Inquisition dungeon... gives clever way to scenes along Don Quixote's journey: a road, an inn, a courtyard, his reluctant home. It is a visual tour de force."
Janice Kennedy, The Ottawa Citizen
King John, Stratford Festival
"Kevin Fraser's lighting darkens over the house oh-so-subtly as the play progresses, paralleling a shift into evening, or possibly matching the dark turn the play takes..."
Stuart Munro and Dave Ross, The Charlebois Post-Canada
Les Miserables, Drayton Entertainment
"Kevin Fraser's appropriately murky lighting design is quite beautiful and enhances the mood."

Disney’s Little Mermaid, Drayton Entertainment
“Set designer David Boechler keeps it simple but is able to create the feeling of being underwater, with the help of brilliant lighting designer Kevin Fraser."
Valerie Hill, The Record
Great Expectations, Neptune Theatre
“An exquisite, magical design in Kevin Fraser’s lights and Ben Chaisson’s projections creates all sorts of settings, from creepy, night skies on the marshes to the blacksmith’s cozy hearth"
Elissa Barnard, Halifax Chronicle-Herald
Pericles, Stratford Festival
“Lighting by Kevin Fraser and sound by Verne Good are also used to great effect. There is a moment where several small tables and stools are quickly turned into a crackling fire. This is done so effectively that I could almost feel the warmth."
Lauren Glenow, broadwayworld.com
Into The Woods, Neptune Theatre
“…an enchanted, frightening wood that lighting designer Kevin Fraser plays on in variations from deep night blues to an angry crimson in the trees."
Elissa Barnard, Halifax Chronicle-Herald
Legally Blonde, St Jacob’s Country Playhouse
“…the effervescent spirit of the production, which is further complimented by the candy-kissed lighting design by Kevin Fraser"
www.broadwayworld.com
Sweeney Todd, Neptune Theatre
"...Kevin Fraser's lighting design, key to creating the gloom with dramatic chiaroscuro effects..."
Elissa Barnard, Halifax Chronicle-Herald
Richard III, Stratford Festival
"The lighting and use of shadows by lighting designer Kevin Fraser, especially early on to highlight Richard's deformities and to mimic light coming through a window in the Tower of London were beautiful yet eerie."
Laura Cudworth, Stratford Beacon-Herald
Acis and Galatea, Opera Atelier
"The lighting, by Kevin Fraser, made the set shimmer with the magic of the piece. The effect...created for the pivotal scene near the end of the opera was stunning."
Brian Hay, norules-nolights.com
Cabaret, Stratford Festival
"Kevin Fraser delivers probably the most daring lighting in his distinguished career, splashing the stage with lurid colours and illuminating people from unlikely angles..."
Richard Ouzounian, Toronto Star
To Kill A Mockingbird, Stratford Festival
"...but then, under Kevin Fraser's subdued lighting and deep shadows, it takes on a haunting aura that fits a coming-of-age story tinged with hatred and horror."
Michael Lasser, Rochester City Newspaper
All's Well That Ends Well, Stratford Festival 50th anniversary production
"Kevin Fraser's lighting casts the production in muted shades of autumn- again perfect."
Robert Reid, Kitchener-Waterloo Record
Thirteen Hands, National Arts Centre
"...a visual symphony that drops the magic of Kevin Fraser's lighting onto the platforms and full moon backdrop of Sue LepPage's brilliantly simple set. Particularly noteworthy is the pair's achievement for the lovely final scene... which is nothing less than a hymn to beauty, delicate and powerful all at once."
Janice Kennedy, The Ottawa Citizen
