“From Daniel Ettinger’s gilded art deco set—all sleekly moving parts and opulent décor—and Harold F. Burgess II’s golden age of Hollywood-style lighting, to David Burdick’s gasp-worthy 1930s costumes, Anne Nesmith’s clever wigs and Rasean Davonte Johnson’s atmospheric projection design, Orient Express opens up before you like a Cartier jewelry box lined in velvet and filled with luxe surprises.” Jayne Blanchard DC Theatre Scene
“Still, the greatest mystery may be how the set, projection and lighting designers Daniel Ettinger, Rasean Davonte Johnson and Harold F. Burgess, II, successfully manage to bring a multi-compartment moving train, a blizzard and a busy café in Istanbul, all to life on a single stage.” Dan Collins The Beacon
“The other star of this play is the rich and detailed design created by the production team. The art deco puzzle box set with many moving parts by Daniel Ettinger, with brilliant projections by Rasean Davonte Johnson and lighting design by Harold F. Burgess II, integrate perfectly to dazzling effect. Costume Designer David Burdick captures the beautiful and stylish designs of the 1930s while sound designer Pornchanok Kanchanabanca added some movie-like sound and music cues during some of the most dramatic moments.” Lynne Menefee MD Theatre Guide
“Rasean Davonte Johnson’s projection designs and the music and sound work of Pornchanok Kanchanabanca also deserve props here.” Dan Rodricks Baltimore Sun
