  • Lee R. Lawing: "Order, Control"

    What a powerful play. In these days of Trump and the calm dehumanizing of most of our society and the resurgence of the alt right that could lead so easily to another Reich, this play shows a world that could so easily be our new “normal” unless we keep on fighting for that endangered part of person-kind that was and can be human again.

  • Lee R. Lawing: KIKI PINEAPPLE STARRING IN: "SAVING THE WORLD!"

    This play is piece of literary magic and shows so much skill at luring the reader and audience into its web where you’re happy to be stuck!! This is one that should be seen in every elementary school out there. But I would also love to see adults playing these beautifully crafted characters because it’s a play for the young and old. Thanks for inspiring me to be a better person to help save the world from the Jumbo Trolls!

  • Lee R. Lawing: I'll Tell You at Sunrise

    I’ll Tell You at Sunrise is such a heart warming experience about pain and promise. Gonzalez creates one of the most epic battles between life and death that I’ve ever read and I love the lessons portrayed and learned from it. The part where the Vagabond talks about the sunrise and subway sandwich is just such a real life nugget of wisdom that we all should experience on a daily basis. I love this play so much for the hope it instills and look forward to reading other works by this talented writer.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Champagne

    What a treat to read this breezy play. Duncan creates a sexy mood and scene with “Champagne” and I fell into the charm of it all. Love the back and forth of the two women and just wanted it to keep going but then why mess with perfection when it’s this good as a ten minute. Thanks for sharing your work with us on NPX!

  • Lee R. Lawing: SLOB: A MONOLOGUE (with wrinkles)

    I love Asher’s work. He inspires me and I owe it to him really that I tried writing monologues again—well really for the first time in maybe my entire writing career, and so I read this new one by him and once again I’m inspired by the reality of every line and the humor behind every line and the sexiness of the ending. Thanks Asher for another jewel in your crown. Keep posting these works of art!!!

  • Lee R. Lawing: Brandon. Brumley. Bro. (10-minute)

    A great spoof of a play about frat/bro culture, but like great spoofs digs a little deeper into the all too painful realities of that unspoken acceptances of that culture's wrong-doings. Two great roles for actors. So highly recommend.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Sebastian and Chloe

    Who can resist the whimsical and lovely play "Sebastian and Chloe." I had such fun reading it and would love to see it on stage. Highly recommend!

  • Lee R. Lawing: BUZZFEED, DONALD TRUMP, & DEAD BLACK KIDS

    Funny and oh so telling of the reality we are all wading through on a daily basis. I would love to see this on stage with its breezy dialogue that strips away layer by layer the masks that we all wear and hide behind. Inspiring to me as a writer and a person.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Just Desserts

    Funny, funny and very deliciously dark! I love dark comedies to begin with and this was such a hoot to read. So well done. Would love seeing this on stage.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Back Cover

    Sometimes you are reading things that just turn out to be quite magical in the end for so many reasons. This is the case for me while reading Emily's play Back Cover. The play is funny and yet so heart-breaking but in the end full of triumph as the story within story within story approaches its close you want to stand to your feet with an enthusiastic round of applause for the playwright and wish you could see this so piece of art on stage where it should be seen by everyone.
