"Scenic Designer Theron Wineinger places you into the period immediately when you enter the theater. There's a shiny red and white circus tent. The sign promises the "one and only Cardiff Giant" who is ten feet tall and weighs 2990 pounds. The Albany Daily newspaper headline reads "Scientists Question Authenticity of Giant Man Uncovered in Cardiff." - Joe Lombardi, BroadwayWorld

​

"The simplicity of the set is astonishing. Beautifully designed by Theron Wineinger, the components of the plot take place with the movement of a striped red and white curtain. Thanks to producer Christopher Michaels’ directing ... that curtain can be the door to anything: the circus, the court, Emily’s mind and room." - Argenis Ovalles, Theatre Pizazz
