"The incomparable Michael Brewer creates a set that appears like the best of the Home and Garden show on steroids, and utilizes the tiny stage space well, immersing its audience in a much-needed escape from the dreadful Ohio winter outside."

"The players never run out of activity on stage mostly due to Michael S. Brewer’s bombastic explosion of Southern hair care playground-esque set. With dozens of beauty products donated by Aveda, nuanced props designed and gathered by Brewer, and scenic details masterfully crafted by Edith Dinger Watkins, the set is truly a feat of simultaneous breathtaking gaud and awe."

"The set, constructed by Michael S. Brewer, is a gawdy, delightful 80's salon throwback with exquisite attention to detail, and thoughtfully accessorized (by Aveda Institute of Columbus) down to the last hair-sprayed tease out."

"Even before the action starts, Michael S. Brewer’s handsome set is sure to elicit a few “oohs” and “aahs.” The broad-beamed stage floor is a good stand-in for the ship deck on which the young de Rougemont begins his adventures."

"Aided by a set that looks much like the deck of a Pirates of the Carribean movie sprawled out before your eyes in absolutely breathtaking detail (designed by the phenomenal Michael S. Brewer),"

"Upon entering the theatre, I was already taken by the impressive set. A huge structure much like the deck of a ship make up the stage, with prop pieces scattered around its edges. Even if you didn’t know the title of the play, its likely you would realize rather quickly that it had something to do with sailing, just because of the set.
But the set is a secondary character to the rest of the show, even as it’s utilized to literally move the story onward with “chapter titles” hidden within various props."
