“The perfectly character illuminating costumes by Sera Bourgeau, hung on the theater walls for easy access, plus Jay Ryan’s subtle, focusing lighting give the production weight and meaning.” -Joel Benjamin, TheatreScene.net
“Aided by Calypso Michelet’s and Sera Bourgeau’s design elements, ensemble members Julie Becker and Rich Brown embody a variety of voices and perspectives, speaking through screen-like empty picture frames and cycling through numerous props and costumes mounted on the evocative wire hangers bordering the set.” -Emily Cordes, Theatre is Easy
“The staging is engagingly inventive throughout. Harriet toys with ropes reminiscent of umbilical cords, which at one point resemble a maypole without the (phallic) pole, empty picture frames through which actors speak suggest screens, and costume changes eventually and notably leave one wall adorned with a number of bare coathangers.”
-John R. Ziegler and Leah Richards, Thinking Theater NYC
