- Dr. Corinne Johnson — St. Ambrose, Theatre Professor and Directed Baskerville and Murder on the Orient Express at Circa ‘21

“ Ms. Meissen’s scenic work is extremely well done, and we were pleased with her painting skills and her artistic eye. She is extremely patient and excellent to work with. Ms. Meissen is an artist dedicated to her chosen profession and our industry.”

“Impressive”

-Pamela Briggs — RCReader

“Major kudo also to Scenic Designer, Becky Meissen, for a chic, sophisticated set.”

-Chris Hicks — WVIK, Quad Cities NPR - Review of Circa ‘21’s production of The Outsider

“The set was largely comprised of rotating flat units, painted in original Jim Davis art. Shout out goes to Missen for her wonderful hand-painted sign suspended above the stage, in which she recreated the iconic Garfield logo and accompanying cat pose”

-Robert Pavey Jr. — RCReader - Review of Circa ‘21’s production of Garfield: The Musical with Catitude

“Hardworking, talented, and absolutely reliable”

- Kristofer Eitrheim — St. Ambrose, Theatre Professor

“Ms. Meissen is a highly creative, intelligent, and motivated young student with tremendous potential. She is an energetic, responsible, and dedicated young professional. I know her to be extremely creative and inventive with her designs for each production. Ms. Meissen, herself demonstrates her true love of theater and every opportunity she pursues both onstage and from the designing perspective. She is a risk-taker, displaying a very high level of maturity and specificity concerning each and every choice she makes, typically with a great deal of personal and professional success.”

- Molly Heil — Wahlert High School, Theatre Director

“I was Becky’s teacher and theatre director at Wahlert Catholic High School for three years, and in that time was continually impressed with her professionalism, work ethic, respect for her fellow classmates, as well as her love of learning and passion for new experiences. I have had the pleasure of working with Becky as a scenic artist for our productions of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Big Fish, but what was truly impressive was her scenic design for our production of Urinetown: The Musical. Her final design, which I hope you will be able to see, was quite fine, and far above the level, one would expect of a high school student.”
