    SO DELICIOUS I WOULD EAT IT UP OFF THE FLOOR. Hilarious, brilliant take on America and the Gilded Age with a wealth of material for comic actresses. Includes beautiful, heartbreaking monologues amid the laugh out loud dialogue.
  • I'll Be Here
    3 May. 2020
    A beautiful play that explores death and loss from a quiet, serene place, and, in doing so, achieves a truthful glimpse at this father/son duo and the many like them. Could be especially lovely with the right lighting and sound design.
  • Once upon a Train (A One-Minute Play)
    3 May. 2020
    A play that makes you double-think about what the strangers around you are going through, particularly on public transit. I was lucky to see a production during Fat Turtle Theatre Company's Quaranteeny Play Festival and found that its subtleties played well on a digital platform. Would enjoy seeing this in a more traditional production in the future!
  • Uncomfortable [a 1-minute monologue]
    3 May. 2020
    Incredibly powerful, and incredibly translatable across platforms, language, and cultures. I highly recommend this one minute play, which is well-suited for theatre in the age of Zoom and played very well during Fat Turtle Theatre Company's Quaranteeny Play Festival.
  • Tag (one minute version)
    3 May. 2020
    Yet another incredible premise from Levine, whose plays tend to make me gasp and say "why didn't I think of that?" Plays well in the virtual age of theatre during COVID-19, and I'm sure would be brilliant on a more traditional stage as well.
  • The Order (a one minute play)
    3 May. 2020
    Hilarious and fun. Would be a blast to be in as an actor. Highly recommend this gem!
  • I'm On A Train (a one minute play)
    3 May. 2020
    Happy to have been able to enjoy this one minute play during the Quaranteeny Play Festival put on by Fat Turtle Theatre Company. An unassuming start ends up packing a nice, surprising punch.
  • That Moment When ...
    1 May. 2020
    Love this play. The weight of action, and the ways in which we process said action becomes a particularly fun challenge for actors and a theatrical experience worthy of audiences.
  • The Brain Thief
    26 Apr. 2020
    I was able to see a reading of this play and would love to see it in production. I was blown away by Horan's inventiveness with this piece, which so deftly dances between the morbid and the humorous in its exploration of the many ways we process life, death, and what it really means to be blessed with a brain.
  • The Lesson [a 1-minute play]
    26 Apr. 2020
    Powerful piece of writing that is sure to be an even more powerful piece of theatre.
