Praise for ‘Up and Away’ from the New York Times

“Surprises  can be unpleasant  for people on the autism  spectrum, so the script (by  Drew Petersen) keeps them to a minimum,  explaining events in advance and making very  clear the rules of this particular game. Soothing  without being  soporific, it’s  an intimate experience  - this carefully assembled  multisensory experience is a stellar  example of how to connect with an underserved  audience by identifying obstacles to theatergoing  and removing them one by one.”

Praise for ‘Elgin Park’ from the New York Times

“A meditation on magic and memory, it immerses young people in a 1950s mystery that - employs sleight of hand, audience participation and shifting chronology as it weaves a mesmerizing spell all its own.'“

“Drew  Petersen  has obvious  Peter Pan DNA. – ...blurs  the boundaries  between the imagined  and the real.”
