Shut Up, Sherlock Praised in SLO Review

Scenic Design
Written By Brandon PT Davis

April 9, 2025 — I’m thrilled to share that Shut Up, Sherlock at The Great American Melodrama received a wonderful review from SLO Review. The article, “‘Shut Up, Sherlock’ Deserves a Standing Ovation”, highlights the energy of the show and specifically credits the design team:

“Kudos to Barbara Abbott (costume design), Brandon PT Davis (scenic design), and Cody Soper (lighting design) …”

Designing this show was an absolute joy—it balanced quick-witted comedy with physical chaos, and the set needed to support both timing and surprise. Having that effort acknowledged publicly is deeply rewarding and a testament to the whole team’s collaboration.
