JOE BOSTON THEATER REVIEWS

The True History of Coca-Cola in Mexico. Writer/performers Patrick Scott and Aldo Velasco (under Andy Jensen's direction) ran around pulling wigs on and off, slipping in and out of funny voices, in the process telling a tale that fused personal experience and political analysis (with a glorious celebration of Mexican soap operas to boot. The History was later produced all over the country. 10 Great Theater Events in Seattle: The Stranger Feb. 28, 2002

"We get in, and we jam a little bit," says Neel of his work on PR1CK with director Jensen. "I improvise and write simultaneously through the week, and then I bring a director in to sort of give a perspective on the greater whole.

Action Movie: The Play! " Joe Foust and Richard Ragsdale's drubbing of the action-film genre is harmless, and it's only out to show you a goofy good time...director Andy Jensen and fight choreographer Peter Dylan O'Connor's terrifically clever action set pieces include an extended car chase and John Woo-ish duels aided by Bunraku-style stagehands" The Stranger, Aug. 14, 2003

Flawlessly delivering David Mamet's chaotic dialogue, [12 year old Alex] Johnston shows us the shades - from wild wonder to curious intensity to confused fear - of a mentally unstable character... Andy Jensen directs Joe Boston Theater's solid production of The Cryptogram. Seattle Times, Nov. 18, 1997
