“The scenic design by Chika Shimizu is effective and intricate; it reflects the storage room on three sides, providing an immersive space and a variety of props for Garelik and Samuel to move through, around, and with.”(TheaterScene.net)

“Chika Shimizu’s set is another standout in Bite Me: a grimy room full of miscellaneous junk, from buckets, bowls and boxes to Christmas decorations and theater costumes to board games, reams of paper and old computers. And they’re all placed in a way that looks like people just quickly dropped them off or stuffed them into whatever space was available. Outside of the storage room, the far sides of the stage depict other places in a high school: lockers, a bulletin board, an institution-style bathroom.” (Off Off Online)
