Critics acclaimed “Andresakis manages to draw out some of the best performances I’ve seen this FringeNYC season” and “…this also serves as a wonderful example of Andresakis’s detail-oriented directing. She riddles The Egg Progect with so many small actions and hints that both bring out and imbue meaning to the script.” Tours/Regional: The East Coast premiere of The Marvelous Wonderettes (Arundel, ME); Crimes of the Heart (Chenango River, NY); Fame (Barrington Stage, MA); Evita (JHU, Baltimore); Arms and The Man (EMU, VA) and the World premieres of Shrink (OC-Centric New Play Festival, CA).
