I had the honor of directing this play for my school's One-Acts festival, and it was so much fun to work on! Mark Harvey Levine has mastered the craft of short-form plays, and In the Jar is no exception. It has a perfect mix of comedy and sweetness, and the subtle faith themes really speak to me personally. My cast had such a good time playing these larger-than-life characters, and the audience had such a good time watching them :) I couldn't recommend this play enough!

Very funny and well written. Great story line and the characters are well played with wonderful dialogue moments. A male ladybug, tap dancing, dim fireflies, an actual praying mantis and a soulful Daddy Long legs - what more could anyone want in a short piece?? Great idea for all ages.

Simultaneously silly and heart-warming, "In the Jar" was selected as part of our student-directed one-act play festival and was well received by the audience, and the cast and director had a blast working on it. It's had to find a slightly large-r cast for 10-minute plays and this play offers great opportunities for a variety of actors.
