“ Oty has created a compelling tale in which a grieving mother confronts a journalist that she is convinced is running a smear campaign against here. I found myself being drawn in by the terse dialogue, and wanted to see more of this story. As the show if currently listed as "In Development," let me add that I do want to see more, and I feel that the story may be too big for a ten minute format. Very compelling. ”

“ I so want this to be a true story!! Where the community theatre actor is suffering from a wildly inflated self-image, only to be put in their place.
In general, i'm not usually a fan of plays about theatre. I find that they usually spend too much time explaining the set up, that they don't have enough left for the actual plot. This is not the case here. "Lights UP!" wastes no time with the backstory and heads straight to the action. In the process, Levine creates a universally relatable situation.
This is a true gem that should be performed! ”

“ A quick, light hearted piece that is good for a smile and chuckle. Two bowling buddies discover that they are both dating the same woman. Short and to the point, there isn’t a bit of unnecessary fluff on the piece. It would be fun to see this staged. ”

“ An imagining of a discussion between Nelson Rockefeller and Diego Rivera, Caruso succeeds in creating fully realize versions of the historical figures that is not dependent on a preexisting knowledge. (Not an easy task!)
The motivations and clear, dialogue punched and snappy. Well done.
While I know there is a 30-min version, I would be interested in seeing a full length on the same topic. ”
