"MacLeish called for a sideshow in a circus tent, but this abandoned auditorium works as well. It's decked out with a ton of junk that looks like it's been there awhile, though it must have been accumulated by set designer Beth Baldwin. Baker leaves open one of the tall windows onto K Street, as if to keep the real world part of the airy discussions. Buses clatter by and sirens howl in the distance; a scene or two is even illuminated solely by the streetlight."

-Nelson Pressley, The Washington Post September 19, 2001

"Rorschach's set and light designers take advantage of the spooky vastness of the dilapidated former junior-high auditorium, including an inventive use of shadow puppetry, but its sound designer fails to meet the challenge: Poor acoustics often make the dialogue difficult to hear."

-Elissa Silverman, Washington City Paper
