"Review Rundown: [The Birthday Party]"
​
"At the end of the day, I can’t recommend the show enough. It’s so rare to find immersive theatre that’s so sparking a good time. Clever, bubbly, and occasionally delightfully raunchy, The Birthday Party leans into the strengths of Rara Avis as a company, and cements their status as leaders in the field."
"Sands Point has an infuriating habit of producing spectacular shows that are only given the most limited of runs. I pray to whoever’s listening, be they gods or trustees, that this team be given the run they deserve. They are worth the drive from Philadelphia, and worth well more than ten nights a production."
"Review Rundown: Farewell Spooky Season 2023"
​
"At this point, Dreadnight Team’s [Rara Avis's] partnership with Sand’s Point Preserve has become an annual highlight of the New York immersive theatre calendar. It’s no wonder their shows tend to sell out immediately, and that they can keep upping the scope of the production. I look forward to whatever debauched lunacy they have on offer next year, and suspect I will continue to anticipate their productions for years and years to come."

"5 Shorts You Must Watch from Salem Horror Fest"
"Domestic Bliss looks like it all takes place in a Barbie Dream Home, which helps to enhance and subvert the traditional ideas around 'domestic bliss.' . . . If you want a great looking short that takes on outdated and misogynistic marital values this is a great viewing choice."

"Dreams and Nightmares is another experience I regret not having the time to address... it presented tableaux straight out of, well, dreams and nightmares."
"NoPro's Best Immersive Experiences of 2022"
"The [Chatterton Cabinet of Curiosities] manages to shock and titillate at every turn. It feels like the full realization of the Grand Guignol aesthetics so much immersive horror promises. Typically, either comedy or horror takes precedence, but the constant discomfort, occasional eruptions of violence, and bizarre, incestuous family mystery kept the whole evening a tight, consistent package."
