“Given the cramped stage, this takes some doing; the script calls for a utilitarian green room, a not especially lavish star dressing room, and a stage manager's desk visible in the offstage wing. Newbury and designer Charlie Corcoran manage to fit it all in.”

“Newbury's staging is terrific on Charlie Corcoran's impressive set.”

“Director Kevin Newbury and scenic designer Charlie Corcoran make effective use of the stage, dividing it into two connected sets: the green room and the dressing room. A large dressing "mirror" lets the actors look into the audience while simultaneously interacting with it and the non-existent reflection of someone else. This creates an interesting dynamic as each character acknowledges a prop that isn’t there.”

“They’re all finding their way, even around the complicated set Charlie Corcoran has contrived, a miracle of compression.”

“Charlie Corcoran's two-level dressing-room and green-room set seems just right.”
