Reviews: Blithe Spirit at the Olney November 2004: "Howard Tsvi Kaplan's costumes are fine throughout but start with a bang with Wines' séance dress that makes her appear an animated Faberge egg." (read the entire review here) The Secret Garden at the Olney, December 2002: "Color and time is enhanced by Howard Tsvi Kaplan’s marvelously varied costumes...." (read the entire review here) The Mikado at the Pittsburgh Public Theatre: "...the most scrumptious overall design was by James Noone (sets) and Howard Tsvi Kaplan (costumes) for "The Mikado." Exuberant, saturated with light and glowing with almost surreal richness, the set featured lacquered red and a contrasting dark blue with a dense texture like fine moss, while the robes were extravagantly different and dazzling ("worth the entire gross national product of Titipu," I said)."
