She recently teamed up with director Marshall Mason to perform in Arizona Repertory Theatre's production of "Ghosts".

The Washington Post described McAndrew as "making a glib, brassy first impression" in "Holiday". She was also mentioned in the April 2001 issue of "American Theatre" magazine and had her picture on the cover
