| Scrooge in Rouge at Diversionary Theatre: |
|
"Almost as much the stars of Scrooge In Rouge as the onstage performers are its costumes (by Jennifer Brawn Gittings) and wigs (by Peter Herman), a triumph of imagination in holiday reds and greens." - StageSceneLA.com
"Jennifer Brawn Gittings' costumes are a mad show all their own." - San Diego Union Tribune "Scrooge in Rouge is also one of the year's most dazzling fashion shows. Jennifer Brawn Gittings' costumes (and Peter Herman's wigs) not only conjure the Victorian era with precision, many are cartoon-comical - a punch-line without a setup; and, they must be changeable in seconds. Great work!" - San Diego Reader |

"Jennifer Brawn Gittings' costumes heighten the fantasy feel, with shimmering gowns and glittery high-tops complementing traditional African patterns." - San Diego Union Tribune
"...imaginative costumes..." - SanDiego.com "Talk of Broadway surrounds The Princess and the Black-Eyed Pea, an African retelling of the Hans Christian Andersen fable. If the buzz refers to the cast, one of the finest ever assembled at the San Diego Rep, or to Jennifer Brawn Gittings' gold-flecked, Afrocentric costumes, then, yes, they merit an extended stay at the Big Hotel." - San Diego Reader |

"Jennifer Brawn Gittings' period costumes neatly identify the class of each character, and her bright blue, full-skirted, straight-from-the-streets-of-Boston dress for Hannah Rose slowly succumbs to the brown soil of Kansas over the course of the play." - SanDiego.com |
