A Christmas Carol
"Adam Miecielica’s handsome scenic design is often little more than a few pieces of furniture and doorways moved on and off the stage by the actors. All it takes is a little garland, a small tree and a chandelier to create the setting for the Fezziwigs’ holiday party." - Anita Gates, The New York Times, Dec. 16, 2011
"On the whole, the sets designed by Adam Miecielica are modular and spare but properly moody and effective." - Bob Brown, CentralJersey.com
"Production values are superior as Adam Miecielica’s effectively somber settings are enhanced by Michael Giannitti’s mood-setting lighting. They serve as in a pop-up story book from a London street, to Scrooge's office, his dark and depressing bedroom and over to the Cratchit's loving home." - Simon Saltzman, Curtain Up
"The very effective dark sets, evocative of Victorian London. . ." - Rick Busciglio, NY Theatre Examiner
A Midsummer Night's Dream
"Adam Miecielica is fast becoming the Shakespeare Theatre’s MVD (Most Valuable Designer)."
-Peter Filichia, The Star Ledger, June 30, 2011
"Their antics are as freshly conceived as is the whimsical setting in which they have been consigned by designer Adam Miecielica. The forest is beautifully evoked by a backdrop of multi-colored streamers. These hang from a huge sprawling tree whose extended limbs serve as a proscenium across the playing area. On one end, a cave has been carved out the tree's trunk."
-Simon Saltzman, Curtain Up
"Echoing the glorious set by Adam Miecielica, which has so many possibilities, director Cameron Watson’s vision is excellently realized." - Sherri Rase, [Q]onstage
The Misanthrope
"The set, by Adam Miecielica, is very grand and very simple, portraying Célimène’s salon as a sort of giant Wedgwood cameo with a curving staircase that might look at home in a museum."
-Anita Gates, The New York Times, June 10, 2011
"Prior to opening night, the thought of seeing yet another Misanthrope understandably did not fill me with anticipation or even expectation. In this production, the eyes are treated immediately to silvery blue decor of Celimene's pristine salon, as handsomely designed by Adam Miecielica. Although the appearance of glittering chandeliers is generally presumed as obligatory, it is the curved grand staircase that becomes the focal point of the action and is routinely used to great effect for entrances and exits." - Simon Saltzman, Curtain Up
"Set designer Adam Miecielica's stage-wide, curved stairway is the centerpiece of his cleverly designed sumptuous to the eye white set which is perfectly partnered by Paul H. Canada's lush costumes for Molière's Parisian haute couture patrons." - Bob Rendell, Talkin' Broadway
"A sweeping staircase dominates the exquisite set design by Adam Miecielica. Sparsely furnished, the action takes place in an elegant 17th century drawing room." - Robert L. Daniels, Theatre News Online
"These maneuvers and schemes play out on a stunning set designed by Adam Miecielica, a 17th century French drawing room with a graceful curving stairway, the better to enter and exit with élan!" - Ruth Ross,New Jersey Arts Maven, June 5, 2011
No Man's Land
"Two 60-something white Englishmen are having a midnight drink in the handsome library of a large house. “What a remarkably pleasant room!” says the guest, paying appropriate tribute to Adam Miecielica’s rich and lovely scenic design." - Anita Gates, New York Times, Aug 20, 2010
"The set design by Adam Miecielica provides a picture-perfect background of faded glory."
- Christopher Moore, Independent Press, Aug. 25, 2010
