From review for “Master Harold and the Boys” San Diego Repertory Theatre

(director) Addison is aided by Eric Sinkkonen’s beautifully imagined and rendered set. Its atmosphere of a provincial tea room on a rainy afternoon is so persuasive that it comes as a shock, after ninety minutes immersion in that powerfully real world in one corner of the Lyceum Space, to emerge into the dry, balmy reality…..of Southern California.

From review for “Mystery of Irma Vep” Music Hall Theatre, San Francisco

The set with all its sliding doors, hanging ropes, etc., is another star…created by Eric Sinkkonen.

From review of “The Glass Menagerie”, Sacramento Theatre Co.

The house, like the play itself, is full of symbolism, and this production is one of the most successful I’ve seen at adapting those symbols to the action on stage. In a darkly-lit, imaginatively crafted stage designed by Eric Sinkkonen, the basics of this family all play essential parts in the play.

From review for “The Men From the Boys” New Conservatory Theatre, San Francisco

The Manhattan apartment……cleaverly upholstered in trompe l’oeil photos of fashionable interiors (a la Nest magazine) in Eric Sinkkonen’s fine set.

From review of “Old Money”, TheatreWorks.

The action takes place at a mansion on New York’s Upper East Side (a Victorian dream of polished wood, glassed-in garden views and fanciful murals by Eric Sinkkonen.)
