‘Max Understood’: Drama Professor’s Unusual Musical Debuts
Sandy Hausman of public radio station WVTF has a fascinating report
on U.Va. drama professor Michael Rasbury’s new musical, “Max
Understood. ” The show, which seeks to portray the unique world of
Rasbury’s autistic son, Max, debuted this month at the New York Musical
Theater Festival. Hausman calls its “a sound-rich portrait of life with an
autistic child.”
UVA Today’s Jane Ford fills in many details in her report from back in
July.
Here’s a link to the festival’s “Max Understood” page, and here’s
another to Rasbury’s own page, which includes samples of the music that he wrote for the show.
