  • Our Time by Ken Levine
    6 Apr. 2018
    “ Ken Levine's play Our Time about two comedy writers struggling to get their first break in the television industry is authentic, really funny, and just as touching. Notably, the two lead characters, as well as the two supporting ones, are quickly and deftly defined, and the jokes are organic, artful and surprising. It also reads fast, and has a satisfying, emotional conclusion. I can't recommend it highly enough. ”
