“Caitlin Cisek’s terrific costume design adds considerably to the cast’s and show’s success. The look of the 19th Century is vibrantly obtained with peasant outfits, fur hats, and long coats. Thats all contemporarily tweaked with jeans, flannel, shirts and the presence or smart phones”
Theaterscene.net, Darryl Reilly (2017)
Pete Rex (2018)
“cleverly garbed by production designer Caitlin Cisek in a Goth-style monster mash-up of brown leather and scales-print denim, finished off with a requisite tail). Simultaneously affable and menacing…”
The Village Voice, Michael Sommers
That One True Phoenix (2017)
“Caitlin Cisek’s costumes do a lot of the narrative heavy lifting early in the minimalism of the beginning, decking her actors in puffy shirts with pops of velvet and embroidered red and blues. I was impressed from the beginning with Da Ponte’s delicately hand-crafted wig that seemed made out of paper. The choice was fascinating when Mozart enters in a powdered wig of real hair, underscoring the scrappy, DIY-nature of Da Ponte’s various identities.”
New York Theater Review, Lisa Huberman
Tartuffe (2015)
“Costume design by Caitlin Cisek is spot on, with Republican-cut suits and a clear understanding of how characters and costumes have the potential to feed each other. (These are qualities that should be present in every theatrical production, especially when there’s a linear narrative, but are all too often found lacking.)”

Tartuffe (2015)
“Cisek found great inspiration by the typical garb candidates wear, patriotic shoulder pads and all.”
Theater in The Now, Michael Block
Dracula (2015)
“I really liked the costumes. I loved how they found ways in all of the design elements under what I assume to be a very low budget, to really honor the story and the period from which this story comes.”

Blood Brothers (May 2013)
“Caitlin Cisek’s costumes nicely differentiate between rich and poor. Mrs. Johnstone spends the first act in a frumpy house-frau dress. Mickey’s sweater is caked with mud. Edward looks crisp. And his mother, Mrs. Lyons, is sharp in a skirtsuit.”
