“Astounding! A trio of fine actors and splendid direction … Could one wish anything greater from a night in the theatre?”

– Broadway World

“Extraordinary! Fountain Theatre Soars  with ‘On the Spectrum’ … yet another triumph for the remarkable Fountain Theatre. This is a production that will take your breath away. If you only have the opportunity to get to one play this spring, On the Spectrum is the one to see!”
– Examiner

“Wonderful! A good evening of theatre with a splendid cast of three.”
– Buzzine“Exhilarating! Solid performances that are superbly nuanced and perfectly tuned … Credit for all this goes to director Jacqueline Schultz.” – Working Author“Fascinating! The play’s three performers honor the material with sensitivity and commitment. Shaked and Newcomb refuse to reduce their characters to their deficits. Instead, they show us individuals whose strengths are tied in fascinating ways to their so-called limitations. As Elisabeth, a photo editor contending with employment woes and a divorced mother dealing with a son’s need for autonomy, Hackett lends compassionate understanding to her character … The value of the play’s advocacy shouldn’t be underestimated… In LaZebnik’s play, there’s a place for all of us on the autism spectrum.”

“Amazing! Excellent! Dan Shaked is at once funny and sad, making his character work. Virginia Newcomb is a willowy beauty. She is vulnerable and funny and tough. Kudos to video designer Jeff Teeter for amazing projections that fill the stage with phantasmagorical images rivaling any tech in any theater, large or small.” – On Stage Los Angeles
