AT HOTEL MACGUFFIN
DIRECTOR

Written by M Sloth Levine
Prod: The St. Sturbridge Family Trust, @ Caveat NYC, June 2025

Sometime in the middle of the 20th century, a thriller named At Hotel MacGuffin was not released to cinemas.

This play, which does exist, is an adaptation of that movie, which does not exist.

Drag, melodrama, noir, and cabaret combine into the feeling that you’ve been here before, you’ll be here again, and you’ll still be looking for that last piece. An instant classic from a time that didn’t happen, you never loved the original and can now enjoy all the nostalgia you don’t remember in an evening you’ll never forget.

WATCHDOG: A PSYCHO THRILLER MUSICAL
DIRECTOR

Music & Lyrics by Murphy Taylor Smith , Book by Emerson Mae Smith
April 2025 presentation

Two identical women, unrelated and previously unknown to each other, meet by chance. Swiftly, NAOMI, an agoraphobic trans girl coder, moves into a decadent Bushwick loft owned by SASZA. a magnetic and volatile cis e-girl with a swath of devoted male followers. As the doppelgängers push and prod at the boundaries of their individual identities, cross contamination threatens to turn completion into codependency and the loss of selfhood. It’s a razor sharp black comedy with a completely original alternative score.

Think “Single White Female” meets “Persona”, if it was scored by Fiona Apple.

About Elsewhere (from Klon’s author’s note):
This world is both ours and not. Both real and fictional. A fable and an anecdote. Transness is inherent to this process and work. Radical revolutionary mindset is central. Shadow work in the self and the community. Together we rise. Darkness is the mother of light. The daughter, causality. Her twin, time.

(parts 1 & 2)

CO-DIRECTOR / ASSOCIATE (reading)

Co-Directed by Jake Beckhard and Mack Brown
Presented by Theatre [Untitled] & Erik Hinton, May 2024

About Ghoul:
A penny dreadful epic in the Ridiculous tradition. Ghoul Hammond is a creature born in a castle laboratory, sewn together from 13 corpses and powered by a radio transmission from the void by one Dr. Bartimouse Hammond. We follow Ghoul as it consumes its creator and goes on to become an international star of stage and screen until it ultimately directs a movie musical adaptation of it's own life, casting as each other the circle of fiends who surrounded Doctor Hammond while he built Ghoul.

The Interrobangers

Written by M Sloth Levine
Roundabout (Reading)
Theatre [Untitled] (Reading), 2023

Four groovy teens and a dog search the woods in their van to solve a mystery while exploring drugs, queerness, and the fear that men in rubber masks are scarier than monsters. The four question the world they know, looking into the parts of their history they would rather avoid.
