“Through expert layers of storytelling from all involved, from sitcom wind-and-punch jokes to over-the-top video and sound design (by Yana Biryukova and Bart Fasbender), “Gumballs” delightfully misleads as a harmless comedy, while its characters and audience learn the devastating futility of calling systems "broken" when they are working as designed.”

"Mary Ellen Stebbins’s lighting is fine, Yana Birykova’s video design fits perfectly, Tricia Barsamian’s costumes are all appropriate, and Bart Fasbender's sound design excellent."

— Theater’s Leiter Side
“The assorted screens that are employed by Morris for playback at the shoot are also used to show us the crew’s previous experiences that have brought them to this critical moment. (Yana Birykova provides the ideal video design.)”
