  • Mark Harvey Levine: Talking Points

    It's really hard to find a good Thanksgiving play. This is a great one. I loved the neurotic but thorough statements from Mike, the random questions and especially the comments from the kids table. A very funny but ultimately touching tale of family relations.

  • Mark Harvey Levine: Becky's Xmas Wish

    A perfectly delightful tale of Christmas viciousness. I've seen this twice now and it never fails to be hysterical. The character of Becky is wonderfully, gleefully murderous and the Elf is a hapless accessory to the crime. A proven way to cut through all the Christmas treacle.

  • Mark Harvey Levine: Two Yards of Satan

    This play starts out very funny and then quickly moves to hysterical. The pace never lets up, and the insanity threatens to spiral out of control but it just keeps going. "Hot Jesus" practically killed me. Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos is one of the few playwrights I know who consistently makes me laugh out loud. This play is another one to add to the list of her killer, sure-fire comedies.

  • Mark Harvey Levine: Promposal!

    The overly romantic meets the overly cynical in this great and sweet romantic comedy. Josie Gingrich gets the hearts-laid-bare feeling of high school aged teens just right. The yearning, the big mistakes, the awkwardness, it's all there. A wonderful play.

  • Mark Harvey Levine: 38 Cookies, 39 Reasons [a monologue]

    What an incredible piece of theater. I was honored to see this in person, and seeing it live was incredibly moving. The slow pace of the monologue gives it incredible power, and the audience was mesmerized. Stunning.

  • Mark Harvey Levine: The Garden Path to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions

    I got to see this one in performance and it was wonderful. Got lots of laughs from an appreciative audience. I especially enjoyed all the hysterical fake names of the murder-oriented reality shows. Let Kelly McBurnette-Andronicus lead you down the garden (psycho)path.

  • Mark Harvey Levine: All Things Considered, It Was Probably the Most Productive Meeting The Escondido Unified School District PTA Ever Had

    A truly hysterical Zoom play, standing way out in the mass of suddenly-appearing Zoom plays. Captures the feelings of parents and anyone else who's struggled through the pandemic. Lovely human characters who are all dealing with their own versions of existential crisis. Just funny, funny stuff.

  • Mark Harvey Levine: Happy Holidays (or Bust) (10 minute play)

    As someone who writes a lot of holiday plays, I always appreciate someone who has a new take on the holiday play. And boy, is this a new take! Takes a very funny idea and weaves through a much more complicated family drama, all while keeping it current and fast-paced and hilarious. A really great holiday short.

  • Mark Harvey Levine: Perfect Number

    A lovely and sweet play about the unlikely friendship between a woman and an octopus. Effortlessly ranges from mathematics to the human condition with humor and kindness. A gorgeous play.

  • Mark Harvey Levine: A Rare Bird

    A gorgeous and magical play about transformation and finding your community, and your purpose in life. This play speaks to the loneliness of human existence, the need for connection. Just a lovely play.
