    Jewish Plays Project would like to acknowledge that A REQUIEM FOR SHERMY received Commended status for our first Ten Minute Play Contest OOF: On One Foot, which searched nationally for plays from artists of all backgrounds responding to our prompt on healing & repair. Our Artist Panel readers appreciated the craft, style, and creativity, as well as how it theatrically expressed the first annual contest theme of healing & repair.

    I had the pleasure of seeing A REQUIEM FOR SHERMY during Christmas at the Playhouse in Westfield, Indiana on December 10. Mark Harvey Levine is a master of short plays, and with his unique style and humor, he brings some of the Peanuts cartoon characters to life in this wonderful parody on “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” A perfect addition to any Christmas play festival.

    Why did Shermy disappear? A fun holiday special that brings him to life!
