  • Enid Cokinos: A Requiem For Shermy (a ten minute play)

    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!

  • Arthur M Jolly: A Requiem For Shermy (a ten minute play)

    Funny, poignant, thought-provoking, profound, and ultimately a beautiful meditation - on a cartoon strip. Levine, well known as the maestro of the ten minute play, brings an unexpected level of depth to his trademark humor. This play - with a lovely inside nod to "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern" - really does manage, in ten exquisitely crafted minutes, to take two minor characters from a major work and have them question their existence and their roles in a new and impressive way. And it's about Peanuts!
