"An inherent mysticism in the script is brought to life spectacularly by magic consultant Skylar Fox, who provides truly dazzling practical effects. His magic is amplified by Ben Rawson’s light design, Melanie Chen Cole’s sound and especially Miko Simmons’ dynamic projections. These elements come together to create a near-transcendent emotional climax toward the end of the play."

"Set Designer Tony Cisek has done a facinating work of artistry around the cast, forcing perspective with the walls and adding another layer of action unto itself... Kudos, also, for the extra set surprizes that gift us with magical moments for which to gasp. Costume Designer Kara Harmon, Lighting Designer Ben Rawson, Sound Designer Melanie Chen Cole, Projections Designer Miko Simmons, and Projections Programmer Colby Nordberg also spared nothing in their creations that supported the story as we imagine things would have looked in our mind's eye upon reading the script."

A special acknowledgment to the entire crew, but especially scenic designer Tony Cisek. As the set opened, my buddy commented, “It looks like a TV set,” which it did at first, but then the 3 dimensions came into view as the lighting by designer Ben Rawson began to illuminate the modest motel room. The lighting and sound (sound design by Malanie Chen Cole) worked in tandem to create an eerie thunderstorm (prepare to jump-scare) throughout the production.
