Reviews:
- "InnerMission’s co-artistic director Carla Nell has staged the touching one-act play in a serene, minimalist production that focuses on the language of the script. Shaun Tuazon-Martin’s effective, all-paper set surrounds the characters in a blizzard of words with pages torn from books, hand-written letters, printed cards, finger-painting and illustrations."
- Pam Kragen, The San Diego Union Tribune - "There is an abstract quality to Shaun Tuazon-Martin’s set with every segment occurring in front of walls full of papers. This choice along with monologues from the gorilla can almost make Precious Little seem like a fantasy."
- David Dixon, San Diego Story - "The simple set (Shaun Tuazon-Martin) features large boards covered in tacked-up research notes, papers, sketches and photos, overlain with paintings of trees and leaves (deftly doubling as offices and the zoo enclosure)."
- Pat Launer, Times of San Diego - "Shaun Tuazon-Martin’s set looks like a Freshman Comp. TA’s worst nightmare: pages and pages of writing stapled to the walls, some even hanging from a clothesline. Lit well by Chad Oakley (with the simple means available) the wall is both artistic and, in keeping with the playwright’s theme, a barrier."
- Jeff Smith, San Diego Reader - "The set was visually dazzling and captivating....the acting was superb. Kathi Copeland was riveting, simply amazing and Jennie and Jyl were tirelessly wonderful. GO SEE THIS SHOW!"
- Goldstar Customer Review - "I have seen this show twice. It was great on the first performance and has only gotten better since then. If you want to see three expert actors and a great director (and designers) interpreting the work of a genius playwright -- in a most intimate space -- you should not miss this precious little play."
