  • Lee R. Lawing: The Tragedie of Rockford and Almira and the Cat - a Comedie

    Why not indeed!!!! This play does causeth delight for any and every reader. It's a much needed "Tom and Jerry" update with witty dialogue and a great set to boot. Would be so much fun for any theatre to put on and for any audience to see.

  • Lee R. Lawing: HEY, EMILY DICKINSON, I GOT A CHEESESTICK! A One-Minute Play for Two Kids

    What a sweet, sweet play, wrapped up in a beautiful minute. This would be such a great play to use at every school in the nation, to show that talking does help when we are all just so afraid of that. Here's a short piece that would be such a powerful addition to any school assembly and real talks about teenage depression and just getting through the day to day when bad things happen. Highly recommend and a huge push to get this out there for all to see and read in every school!!

  • Lee R. Lawing: Firepuke

    The first play I read by Drawlings got me hooked and I knew I would be back to read more and so glad it was "Firepuke." I love the strong characters and language that fill this short piece and the mystery of the stranger on the phone and then of course the mystery man at the end. As with his "Keep Their Features on Your Starry-Eyed Swivel" I would love to see this play performed what fun the actors would have with Sister Diamanda and Messiah Cancel.

    What a beautiful play, in words and thoughts and how it plays out. This play deserves to be seen by many and read by everyone!

  • Lee R. Lawing: WHAT SOME GIRLS DO FOR MALL GIFT CERTIFICATES

    What a heartbreaking play to read and so well done for its few pages. The opening lines talk about how cold these two girls are in this dressing room and that feeling of cold just grabs hold of the heart of the reader as you comprehend in full what hardships Julie and Larissa are facing and you want to reach out to them to show them some hope.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Cocaine and Ethel Merman: The New Homo Guide

    I love a good title and that was the first thing that grabbed me but once I was finished reading I was hooked on Westeen’s delightful biographical monologue. I like how it’s set up as guide. This play was so personal as it is for so many people that grew up in the same time, but it made me look back on those times with a deeper appreciation for having made it through them a better understanding of hope and love. This play would provide an actor with some wonderful scenes to work with.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Sales of a Dead Man

    A funny parody of Glengarry Glen Ross. So well done and as one reviewer said, family friendly to boot. A deserved win at the Tree City Playhouse competition!

  • Lee R. Lawing: Blue

    You read things sometimes that you know are good, but then they just hit that next level and leave you with the feeling that you've just read something magical. This is how Emily's play "Blue" was for me. I knew there was poetry with the construction of it and I knew the writing was great, but the emotions pulled from me at the end were unexpected and for that I applaud this wonderful short play. What a treat for any actors to be involved with as well as the theater who puts it on.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Monologue for a Woman

    What a great monologue that is working on so many levels and ideas and themes. I’ve read it several times and each time I have imagined a different scenario and I’m sure it could play out into endless interpretations which shows you how good the writing is.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Estate Sale

    What a thoroughly charming play about relationships and the rediscovering of what means the most to any one of value. This play hits so many buttons in its short time-frame, but the one that hits hardest is that last line where the man talks about knowing what’s important to him. I’ve been that man. I’ve been this woman as well and more times than not even the clerk. This is one of those plays that I’ll remember for quite some time.
