“Lauren Helpern has created a poetic scenic design that melds the imaginative—a graceful, curving tree—with a photographic backdrop of the neighborhood.”

-- Talkin’ Broadway Regional

“The Ford’s Theatre production is graced with marvelous production design. Lauren Helpern’s set is a fine mix of brick rowhouse naturalism upfront and graphic art in the form of a blown-up photograph of the Hill District setting as a backdrop.”

-- DC Theatre Scene

"Lauren Helpern's scenic design combines the real and surreal, with 2-story brick rowhouse and a vivid sepia-tone image of a half-built street from the Hill District across the upstage wall. The tree-where Troy hangs a ragged old practice ball for batting practice-rises naturally but transitions by its peak to the surreal members of an other-worldly body, fingers articulated towards the sky.”
