"Arciniegas has just the right touch, the ability to make Shakespeare speak to modern audiences... for the Publick, here is a renaissance indeed."
Ellen Pfeiffer, The Boston Globe June 2001

"This lively Winter’s Tale is all the rage."
Terry Byrne, The Boston Herald September 2001

"A perfect match - Publick Theatre's Arciniegas makes `Much Ado' of Shakespeare's romantic comedy."
Terry Byrne, The Boston Herald June 2001

"Pirates sails the high seas of hilarity."
Ryan McKittrick The Boston Globe July 2001

"Under the new leadership of Diego Arciniegas, Boston's outdoor theater on the Charles is offering better everything, singing, direction, choreography, set design, costumes, you name it."
Vicki Sanders, CitySearch.com

"Shakespeare has never had it as good as he has in outdoor productions this summer... Arciniegas's direction made the kind of use of the Christian Herter Park that Shakespeare & Company has made of the Mount."
Ed Siegel, The Boston Globe August 2001
