Baltimore Waltz director
Best Production of the Year award
Orange
County Register
The Almond Seller director,
West Coast premiere
"Director Loui deploys elements of magic realism with
an often-thrilling theatricality, and she has washed the
production with a kind of Brechtian comic tone that prevents
things from becoming too cumbersome. This is theater that's
both intellectually stimulating and entertaining.”

Love of Three Oranges director
“No matter what your depth of theatrical experience,
it’s doubtful that you’ve witnessed anything
like Love of Three Oranges at UC Irvine. This comic
fairy tale fantasy has been streamlined into a kaleidescope
of comedy, color and movement. Especially movement, where
the efforts of director, Annie Loui who also
serves as choreographer, are particularly in evidence…..Three
oranges is what you might expect had Stephen Sondheim dropped
a little acid before writing “Into the Woods”

“The opera is a charming mix of high spirits and creative
stagecraft.. Director Annie Loui deserves credit for making

bedtime story”
New

Amercian Clock choreographer
“Arthur Miller’s American Clock, revived by
Signature Theater, is a cross-section of American depression-era
vignettes….and things are under control, especially
Annie Loui’s effective stylized group moves.”

“the parts are more than the sum. The work is as much
dance piece as play, and praise for the evenings successes
must be shared with director Annie Loui, whose bio lists
numerous choreography credits.”

Big Love director
and choreographer
“At UCI director Annie Louis has fashioned a highly
attractive, deliciously spirited production...Big Love
takes the proverbial battle of the sexes to a new, literal
plane with a rollicking slapstick touch...It’s a splendid
melding of ancient and modern theater”
 Orange

Nosferatu director
“One of the most impressive achievements here is the
way Loui choreographs our attention, directing it back and
forth between the screen and stage with a minimum of intrusion
of one medium on the other”

War to End War director
and choreographer
“If there were more smart theater like this, more
smart people would go to see theater”
Irvine World News
The Arabian Nights director
"The Arabian Nights proves as charming and
beguiling as the Persian culture where these stories originated,
thanks to Loui’s spirited direction.”
