“ This short play presents a character study of lonely individuals that comments on our fundamental need to be validated. The ending to Leventman's work urges one to reread the piece with that knowledge base. This is a clever short play that is fun to read and conceptually intriguing. ”

“ Having had the pleasure of directing Williams' "Last Exit," its incorporation in "A Tree Grows in Longmont" is all the more intriguing. The longer play deftly uses theatrical devices to extend the narrative of a relationship. The dialogue exchanges are realistic, and they bask in the awkward moments and the beautiful moments we too often try to hide, such as our happy dance. Williams' dry humor blends with too realistic statements such as "Hope is my greatest weakness." The epilogue to the play within the play is the perfect tribute we would all hope to give. ”

“ "Next" is a strong two-character short piece that effectively shows the relationship between partners. Although the current pandemic suggests an additional level to this piece, it works by itself as a story of one woman who may be battling depression or agoraphobia and her supportive partner. ”
