LIGHTS UP!

by Jack Levine

There is always a lot of drama behind the theater curtain before the performance begins. In this case, an egotistical actor learns an important lesson from an unexpected source.

    A brilliant play that gives us an insight into the world of rehearsals. Enjoyable, witty, and highly entertaining.

    02/19/2026 - Had the pleasure of hearing this piece read and performed. The beginning reminded me of Noises Off in the sense that I wasn't aware I was watching a play within a play and the laughs only kept coming after that. Jack Levine does an excellent job exploring the craziness that can happen when ego mixes with local theatre. Relatable to any theatre lover both on stage and in the audience. Hilarious and well done!

    This comical short play about the pretentious side of theater making (and we've all been THERE!) hits the bull’s-eye with every dart that’s thrown. And those darts keep on coming. Bravo!
