“Aiding in setting the scene are costumes by… Summer Lee Jack (The Alchemist), who… had to design around the needs of players changing not just their clothes but their roles, sometimes in the middle of a scene. (Jack's period costumes for The Alchemist are especially impressive, with one costume that so closely evokes a portrait of Henry VIII that the character wearing it received a laugh just for walking onstage.)” - Jillian Ashley Blair Ivey Broadstreetreview.com
