"Overhead are enormous girders on which are projected the passing undercarriage of elevated subway trains accompanied by their rolling-thunder rumble. Between scenes colorful projections saturate the set with stunning views of Manhattan in motion. The cinematic scenic effects and whirlwind scene changes are among the best I’ve ever seen. " John Stoltenberg DC Metro

"Sibyl Wickersheimer's set manages to capture the feel of a cramped and seedy three-bedroom apartment without seeming claustrophobic or limiting the action. Along with lighting by Marcus Doshi, projections designed by Rasean Davonte Johnson set the tone and supplement the story, whether showing an excursion to a nightclub or the latest viral video of police brutality." Adelaide Lee Theatre Mania

"The tech aspects of the show are terrific. Sibyl Wickersheimer’s set is very versatile allowing us to be in their apartment and then in a Manhattan club with very little movement of the set pieces. The lighting (Marcus Doshi) and sound (T. Carlis Roberts, who also did the original music) is A-ONE and the projection design (Rasean Davonte Johnson) truly made us feel the Manhattan flavor that I would imagine is exactly what Barnes and Garrett were striving for. It worked!" Alan Bresloff Around the Town Chicago
