"Lauren Helpern’s set design is clever. Curving around the back of the raised playing space is a wall covered in green period wallpaper; set in the wall are five green doors, side by side. These give the initial impression of a door-slamming farce, but we quickly understand that they are here to convey a sense of how small and cramped the apartment is. What we see is the one room that serves as a living room (and Jay and Arty’s bedroom, curtesy of a pull-out sofa) and a dining room. We can only imagine the small size of the bedrooms and bathroom behind the doors.”

“Lauren Helpern’s set design is the best thing about this show. It’s bright and glowing and open and frisky.”

-- Hartford Courant

“It felt as though we were looking in to the Kurnitz family's home and risked being caught, thereby ruining theater magic, which was marvelously produced by Lauren Helpern's scenic design (Broadway: Voices in the Dark, Off-Broadway: Skintight & Bad Jews, 4000 Miles & Disgraced), Aja M. Jackson's lighting design (Off-Broadway: A Commercial Jingle for Regina Comet, Regional: Behold, A Negress; Hear Word), and costume design by An-lin Dauber (Hartford Stage: It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, New York: Paul Swan is Dead and Gone).”
