  • Lee R. Lawing: The Sunset Train - 10 Minute Play

    The myths and legends about the Old American West are well known and passed down to all of us who love a bit of history. Kaminiski gives us such a myth in the Kid and the mysterious passenger who is with him on the train after his last robbery. This tale of two stowaways reaches a satisfactory and cathartic conclusion by play's end and you'll be glad that you were able to hitch along.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Water Damage

    Love this play so much We all move into houses or apartments and hear those things that we write off as just the house settling it may be a ghost if you believe in those things. This play masterfully gives us such a house that has suffered and is still grieving from what happened to it and just like Rich, we will always wonder just what happened in any room or space that we inhabit from here on out.

  • Lee R. Lawing: HARLEY SLOANE, SKATER GIRL: A MONOLOGUE

    I often fear for our country when I see these things that I swore I'd never see taking place and no one says anything or does anything and it's all accepted as if it is the new normal until we are all deep in a black hole with not hope of returning, but then I it does my heart good to realize that there are the Harley Sloane's of the world who know deep down what is right and not right when she sees it and just like the comet streaking across the sky, Harley gives me hope again.

  • Lee R. Lawing: A First-Draft Second-Rate Love Story

    How many drafts does it take to make a play feel complete? Busser would have us think that it's at least four and for all of us sitting in the audience, we would be hoping that there is more drafts yet to come just to see this funny play keep going. Sometimes perfection sneaks up on us and delights us and I would say the only surprise is that Busser has created another delightful piece of perfection that needs to be seen by everyone.

  • Lee R. Lawing: MOSQUITO LORE [short version]

    Loved the line "I just want to enjoy my virginity in peace" and the banter between god and his prey moves into such a poetic dialogue that the reader will always remember the importance of their story.

  • Lee R. Lawing: The March Of I'ds (a one minute play)

    This was the featured play of the day for me. Loved the the fact that in just a minute we get the entire relationship that may be if Suzy gives Adam her phone number at a bus stop.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Splitting the Check (Ten Minute)

    I was feeling sorry for Brett actually and thought, wow, to be on a date with this person who seems a little petty about paying for the meal and what portions she would cover and which ones she would not and then the ending surprised and delighted me beyond words.

  • There is a beauty that comes from remembering things of the past and this monologue can definitely take anyone back to think fondly on your childhoods. Norkin's memory makes me wish I had been there to witness and I do understand that remembering childhoods are not a blessing for everyone and I will always be thankful that mine was filled with such memories like this.

  • Lee R. Lawing: BIRTHRIGHTS...and WRONGS (a 10 minute play)

    Heard this delightful play read on Theatrical Shenanigans. Friendships are the balm of the soul or can be and for those who believe in reincarnation and that souls can go on and on forever or more than one life, the beginning would be just as important as the end.

  • Lee R. Lawing: CUBIST RODEO CLOWNING

    There can never be too much absurdism in your life and this play fits nicely into that side of life and it's laugh out loud funny which is always a very big plus. Charles Scott Jones gives us a masterful play that is crafted beyond just the framework that he's working in and gives us a study of the human condition as any good play should.
