A tender and honest monologue, lovingly and sweetly told. Not to mention an interesting rumination on the different ways we interpret pop culture and how it can shape us in ways we don't even understand, at least at the time.

Through a Pythonesque progression of ideas that start out small and well-meaning and grow larger and more defensive, a Hamlet production morphs into something unrecognizable (but, to say the least, intriguing.) There are laugh lines galore as we watch everything spin delightfully out of control. Dry as a bone and an all-around hoot.

A great satire. Like the best 10-minute plays, it takes an absurd idea and runs with it. A well-constructed three-hander with effortless exchanges, the promise of good stage spectacle via some terrible dancing, and a perfect final line. As a side note, my town actually has a bar called "The Library," though they don't check out books (yet.)

A fascinating, polished story of a little-known civil rights hero. The plain language and not-quite-a-monologue structure are well-suited to the subject matter; a solid and important story, well-told.

It's very easy to write a play about writer's block, but can be pretty hard to write an engaging one. Levine succeeds by adopting an absurdist, magical-realist premise and running with it. It's great fun and would be a very enjoyable (and unpredictable) piece to see on stage. And it ends on an excellent note.

A play that lives up to a great title. A funny concept that keeps building on itself with some solid sight gags, unexpected guests, and killer one-liners. Breezy in the best way (and some great character descriptions to boot.)

A sweet, nuanced, slice-of-life that touches on a lot of topics, but all boils down to themes of white cis male awkwardness: about race, sexuality, and most of all simple homosociality. It does a lot with <10 minutes, showing us the foundations of, if not a friendship, at least the sort of connection from which friendships are formed.

This play had me at the title. A funny piece about an oft-debated subject, made memorable by some good physical comedy, the strongly drawn satire of its characterizations and its dark gotcha ending.

A wonderfully creepy halloween tale. Excellent pacing, with tension kept up through gradual revelation of detail about both characters. Also very well-constructed as an audio play, with all of the description we need right there in the script.

A concise, well-sculpted one-hander featuring believable, likable characters and some excellent naturalistic dialogue - nary a moment feels unnecessary or forced. Left me with a smile on my face, which is a great thing for a 10-minute piece to aspire to and to achieve.
