Garden of Alla
“Director Lorca Peress, video and graphic designer Adam Jesse Burns, plus score and sound designer Nick T. Moore combine to render an impressive, vivid portrait of the title character, which of course is enlivened by Nordlinger’s dynamic, captivating presence. … This deliciously mounted bioplay is a Garden of earthly (and earthy!) delights for theatergoers. …don’t miss it!”
– Ed Rampell, Hollywood Progressive
“A masterfully illuminating experience. Succeeds in bringing Nazimova to life.”

– Joseph Klink, Stage Raw

The Coffee Trees
"The atmosphere was enhanced by Nick Moore’s sound design."
Review by Michael D. Jackson
Dally with the Devil
"The beige house amidst sand and grass, combined with the ever-so-subtle beach sounds that play throughout the show (by sound designer Nick Moore), create a serene atmosphere that gives an interesting contrast to scenes that would normally take place in an office in Manhattan or Washington."
by Weston Clay
Theater is Easy
The Drawer Boy
"Nick Moore's sound design reinforces his original music and includes various effects, such as birdsong and the tolling of church bells."

Expatriate
NYT Critics' Pick NY TIMES
"Ms. Moïse’s compositions, enhanced by Nick Moore’s music direction and sound design, are often recorded percussive vocals accompanied by live singing. The stripped-down result is effective."
By Andy Webster
“Where Expatriate really excels is in its more controlled elements. Director Tamilla Woodard's staging is elegant, organic, and unpredictable, incorporating Nicco Annan's choreography in a way that keeps the story fresh and crystal clear. This is facilitated by Deb O's artful found-object set, Nick Moore's evocative and layered sound design, and Stephen Arnold's bold lighting, which all add up to definitively effective visual storytelling. And the songs—in which both singers are accompanied only by loops of their own layered vocals—are gorgeous throughout.”

Nick Moore is quite simply a musical & sound genius. He has been the composer and sound designer on two of my play productions (Shakespeare’s Slave and The Woodsman). His compositions and musical soundscapes not only support and clarify a play’s text but heighten the subtext as well. Nick also is a wonderfully engaging and collaborative artist.
– Steven Fechter, Playwright and Screen Writer (2004 Film The Woodsman)
Nick Moore’s sound design for my play “The Starship Astrov” was a great science fiction soundscape that garnered laughs of recognition from the audience, and his Theme Song pastiche was a delight as well.
– Duncan Pflaster, playwright
Nick Moore is one of the most talented, collaborative, and budget-conscious designers with whom I have ever worked. I always look forward to having him on my production teams.
