Daniel is at work on a new book:
From Yale to Barbacking: One man's remarkable journey
Join Daniel on a romp through a life of great expectations, high ideals, and of course, the reality of living in a world that doesn't think you're as wonderful as your parents or teachers did. Learn finally and liberatingly (through 10 helpful exercises) the lesson that can help you be happier: when all is said and done, you're not that special.
First there was "From Homeless to Harvard," a moving story about overcoming huge obstacles to achieve one's dream. Now comes the reverse! Stay tuned for more exerpts and listen to what the critic is already saying:
“I always thought he might become a Senator. He was so verbal!’ – Mrs. Brobeck, Daniel’s 3rd grade teacher
" “AND SOMETIMES YOU GET LUCKY Go to enough holiday shows and you begin to think that making good seasonal theater is impossible, unless you stumble into any of these delightful surprises...Hee-Haw: It’s a Wonderful Li e” is leaving the “f” out of the title of the classic film for a good reason. Mr. Levin takes an inventive look at how things shook out for a secondary character in that film, Sam Wainwright...Turns out not everything ended up so rosily in Bedford Falls. The play has terrific performances, especially by Alexander Borinsky as Sam and Michael Sutherland as George."
~ Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times, Dec. 11th, 2009
"The show is a twisted, bawdy, occasionally outrageous conglomeration inspired by Frank Capra's classic film. It's augmented with old-time radio foley and bright authentic costumes and steered by an excellent cast. You'd be well advised to have some offbeat fun this holiday season and see this production....
Levin blurs the lines between theatre forms and smashes the fourth wall, creating a play within a vaudeville variety show (or is the other way around?)..."
