Wells-Metz Theatre, Indiana University

Director: James Nelson

Lighting Designer: Darrian Brimberry

Costume Designer: Justin Gannaway

Sound Designer: Tony Stoeri

“Machinal, playwright Sophie Treadwell’s masterpiece performed by IU’s Department of Theatre, Drama and Contemporary Dance, and directed by James Nelson, is indeed well acted and directed, and the plot, hauntingly expressionistic, is powerful and pertinent, even these 90 years later. But what everyone seemed to be talking about after the show was Jeremy Smith’s sets, Tony Stoeri’s sound design and Darrian Brimberry’s lights (wait till you see the last five minutes!).

The set consists of white strings making parallel lines at various angles, gracing ceiling, floor and open space. Every element, including Justin Michael Gannaway’s costumes, is black, white or gray. Only during the hospital birth scene do the strings turn color, red. Tightly strung, they relax and sway in one scene only, a love affair.”

-Connie Shakalis, Bloomington Herald-Times

“Scenic designer Jeremy Smith’s set is of a maze of muddy black ramps. Taut sets of strings lit by Darrian Brimberry connect and frame the space. It looks a bit like the inside of a harp and inventive sound designer Tony Stoeri always keep thing on the edge of song.”

“I needn’t visit any art musums for a while, as i was immersed in what seemed like a Vermeer painting Friday evening while enjoyingh the Indiana University Department of Theatre, Drama, and Contemporary Dance’s production of Pippin. …This Version, directed and choreographed by kenneth L. Roberson with music direction by Terry Labolt and scenic designed by Jeremy Smith, is a professoinal and talent laden enchanter. “

“The Southeastern Summer Theatre Institute celebrated its 11th anniversary with a wildly entertaining, unequivocally remarkable performance of “Chicago,” on stage at the Seahawk Cultural Center. “Chicago” brims with the outcome of inspired professional guidance and careful cosseting. A polished production, full to the brim with winning performances by every one of the performing artists. Continue looking forward to more amazing songs, scenes and settings. Watch particularly for the colorful, planned to the gnat’s eyelash, circus and the courthouse, and the brilliant finale. What a show, what a night.”

-Nancy Wellard, The Island Packet

The Wells-Metz Theatre, Indiana University

Director: Liam Castellan

Lighting Designer: Allen Hahn

Costume Designer: Chen Chen

Sound Designer: Scheumais McHenry

“The stage is furnished with five chairs and surrounded by audience members on three sides. The former inmates take turns telling their stories, never leaving their respective disks. Other actors take on an array of minor roles (police officers, attorneys, etc.) to bring some parts of the stories to life.

Director Liam Castellan has led a solid cast through a moving and engaging production. At no point during the 100-minute performance did I find myself wishing for an intermission.”

“Take a novelist, E.B. White, who received a Pulitzer Prize special citation and the National Medal for Literature, along with other awards, and turn his children’s book into a play (Joseph Robinette). Add an immersive hay-and-barn-walls set (Jeremy Smith), and you’ve got a winner, one of the best things I’ve seen at Cardinal.”

“Director Dale McFadden highlighted Chekhov’s fascination with the human condition and kept the pace active on Jeremy Smith’s appropriately sedate brown and tan set, graced by five bare (one “is dead”) birch trees.”
