...subtly infused with music via live underscoring, as well as live video projections from onstage cameras, the result is perhaps the best realization of Williams' quintessential (and semi-autobiographical) memory play that I've seen. It's dreamy, and cinematic, and intimate, and nostalgic, and heartachingly beautiful. -Cherry and Spoon
Joe Thomas Johnson's scenic design, a minimalist "line drawing' that asks the audience to fill in the walls and doors, allows the tech to integrate seamlessly. Together, the scenic, sound, and projections create a cinematic slant on this American classic that feels vital and new.- Minnesota Monthly
The Glass Menagerie is a compelling drama brought to life by a brilliant cast in an exquisitely designed and executed production under the masterful direction of Justin Lucero. And if you’re interested in film or the technical aspects of theatre, this is a shining example of how the two can be married, not as a gimmick, but in service of the story. -Stages Of MN
Working to create the mood of the piece is scenic designer Joe Thomas Johnson who has created a remarkably effective set for the characters to inhabit. Creating a floorpan on the stage, it is almost like the audience is viewing the show as if it is taking place in a doll’s house or on a housing blueprint. -BroadwayWorld
Scenic designer Joe Thomas Johnson creates a world that keeps you eye engaged without ever pulling focus from the people living inside it. - Eden Prairie News
