“The show is set on a spectacular scrim-lined stage, which portrays the parlor of the March household. The setting comes in two parts: the actual set pieces of the living room, and a beautifully-crafted scrim on which is painted some of the most beautiful backdrops ever seen in a university theater… While it is unusual for me to gush over sets, this particular scrim device is a true marvel, and one of the best aspects of a truly well-honed production.” -Alan R. Hall (CVNC.org)

“In Jayme Mellema's ingenious stage design, the family parlor of the March's house is set in a house-size cutout section of a stage-wide screen.” -Byron Woods (Indyweek.com)
