Guys on Ice Receives Praise in SLO Review

Scenic design for Guys on Ice (2025) at The Great American Melodrama, praised in SLO Review.

Guys on Ice — The Great American Melodrama

February 15, 2025 — I’m thrilled to share that Guys on Ice at The Great American Melodrama has just received a wonderful review from SLO Review. The piece, titled “‘Guys on Ice’ Is Warm and Funny”, highlights the heart of the production while also recognizing my scenic design:

“The scenic design by Brandon PT Davis … perfectly suit this slice-of-life production.”

Designing Guys on Ice was a return to The Great American Melodrama after five years, and it meant a lot to come back with this project. The shanty set was intimate on the outside but opened up to reveal a playful, Wisconsin-themed interior. I wanted the world to feel both authentic and whimsical, a place where the characters’ warmth and humor could shine.

Seeing that vision reflected in the review is a real honor, and it makes me grateful for the collaboration that brought this show to life.
