“The set designed by Nina Ball, lighting by Xavier Pierce, and projections by Rasean Davonté Johnson are spectacular, with video projections creating the realistic illusion of headlights crossing the bridge, the moon rising, then daylight returning.” Alice Bloch Seattle Gay News

“There are so many original ideas in this production. Scenic designer Nina Ball, along with lighting designer Xavier Pierce, projection designer Rasean Davonté Johnson and automation engineer Nebraska Bailey have put together a backdrop and set worthy of DeMille. There are the eerie effects of car lights passing over an expansion bridge, the rising of the sun in the east, the darkness that always seems to pervade this corner of Juliet’s world.” Lucie K.
