  • J.Lois Diamond: PERMISSION by Rachael Carnes
    “

    I attended the reading at Clutch productions and loved this play. The relationship was so real and compelling The voices of both mother and daughter were so believable..It built slowly to a surprise revelation in a way that was dramatic and sensitive. . I had tears in my eyes at the end. A must for any program on the topic of MeToo.

    I had the pleasure of attending a staged reading of this play at The Playroom Theater. It was funny, engaging, and chocked full of warmth and charm. I rooted for Helen, throughout all her travails. The supporting characters were all distinct and quirky. Actors would have a ball with this play.

    Funny play with an eccentric character. Crackling dialogue and a social commentary. Fast paced and full of surprises. Would be an asset to a comedy festival.

    A poignant piece which is told from the vantage point of a truly pure soul. Poetic and honest.

  • J.Lois Diamond: The Great Gay Wall Talent Show by Lee R. Lawing
    “

    Lawing takes a tragic situation and succeeds in making it funny. He uses black humor and camp to make a salient point about the cruelty immigrants are facing today. This is a very theatrical and timely play with larger than life characters. Actors would love to be part of this.

  • J.Lois Diamond: Two Candles (A Monologue) by Lee R. Lawing
    “

    Lawing has created a such a fully realized human being in the voice of this character. Her genuine spiritual yearning arises directly from her skepticism and doubt. A subtle yet powerful plea to end gun violence. A gift for any actress lucky enough to be cast in the role.

    This a heart breaking monologue filled with humor and wit which gets to the heart of the grief which comes when we lose someone we love. As usual for this writer, it is told from the point of view of a very distinct and quirky character. I would love to see this wonderful play produced.

    This is a very witty and playful story, with 3 juicy roles. Would be a blast for any actor who has ever performed under less than ideal conditions. Funny and irreverent.

  • J.Lois Diamond: SQUEEK! (copywright October 2015, MADELINE PUCCIONI) by MADELINE PUCCIONI
    “

    I love this play. It’s so witty and dark with such strong characters. Madeline makes a political statement without hitting us over the head with righteous indignation, not an easy feat. It’s funny and scary and really needs to be seen, especially now!

  • J.Lois Diamond: The Man Who Wears a Bonnet (a monologue) by Lee R. Lawing

    A whimsical play which is both funny and profound.
    Lee has written a truly original character who has a lot of heart. A great role for an actor who has a spirit of adventure.
