The production features scenic and costume design by Anthony Ward, lighting by Mark Henderson, music and sound by Adam Cork, video and projection by Jon Driscoll, and movement by Scott Ambler.

Enron received four Tony Award nominations yesterday, for original score, featured actor Stephen Kunken, lighting design, and sound design. However, it did not receive a nomination for Best Play.
