Larry Budmen of the South Florida Classical Review writes of Tan's sets for a production of Orpheus: "Sherri Tan's striking scenic design mixes painting, photography and sculpture, forming a flexible playing space that spills out into the aisles of the small venue. Contemporary costumes emphasized the timelessness of the tale."
