  • Lee R. Lawing: Missing

    This play pulls you and doesn't let go from the very start with the rapid back and forth dialogue that has you taking sides with this family as they get deeper into what happened and who is who in this tight scenario. The ending won't disappoint and neither does this play!!

  • Lee R. Lawing: On the Eighth Day of Hanukkah My True Love Gave to Me

    None of us should ever feel too old or forgotten to celebrate whatever holiday you want to celebrate. There are so many of us who become like Irv as we get older, not wanting to be around the lights or hear the sound of children laughing. But somehow someway every one of us should be able to find that magic once again and this small play has such big heart that any Grinch out there would suddenly find themselves smiling just a little bit bigger after reading it.

  • Lee R. Lawing: GOING HOME, a 10-minute drama for two actors, any gender

    There are always those moments we think back on and are pained at what we said or didn't say and Going Home brings this into focus as a couple deal with the death of another and all of that pain that comes from that. This play is as perfect as a piece of poetry and will leave everyone who reads it or sees in tears that are from both the heart and soul.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Lent Me Your Ears (An Easter Tail)

    Oh, if this Jesus would have been the one we had worshipped, I think I would have a lot more faith in the entire thing nowadays. This play had me laughing from the start and it never lets up. So many questions rise up (pun intended) inside you about faith, believing in or not believing in things and parenting skills in such crazy times as we live where the belief in things may be slipping away from a lot of us, but if we could laugh through them they would all be easier to process.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Deeper

    There are some plays you read that will leave you feeling torn between your emotions and Deeper is certainly one of them. I felt a lot like Morey who said he read it twice and the first time he smiled and the other time he cried. it's that good at pulling out both emotions and in the end, we all want to be like Andrew when it the end comes, just having someone we love close-by to ease that transition and to know we were at least loved a little during our time on earth!

  • Lee R. Lawing: Free Range

    Wow! This play says so much in its short time. This is one minute you will not regret spending!

  • Lee R. Lawing: The Twelve Days of Christmas Italian Style - part of the anthology of "Christmas Carols Gone Wrong"

    My favorite version of The Twelve Days of Christmas has always been Andy Williams version where the gifts were updated to very real things at time. I know have a new favorite version thanks for Claudia Haas. Persistence is something that I appreciate in anyone and especially in Luigi! To never give up on your dreams of love is a great gift for any of us to receive.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Man's Next Friend

    So many times we have those thoughts like Daisy about our purpose and our reason for being on this earth. With technology becoming advanced at light speed, this futuristic piece is not so far off the mark of being our reality, and even though it is is set in the future, the lesson that Daisy learns in the end is good for us now as it will be in the future--sometimes it's just the simplest of connections regardless the form that can bring you to your understanding for being.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Ancient Wisdom of the Shoebill Stork

    We all have those moments in our life where we feel like we should be gaining insight to the world around us or the wisdom that nature and all of her beauty should be imparting to us if we truly want it. Sometimes that comes just by doing a little dance and laughing at silly knock-knock joke because joy should never be so hard to obtain if we could just shut down the questioning mind and just dance for joy.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Adrift

    I love the rabbit hole that this group of friends do down when they discover the unconscious girl in the boat. Is she a mermaid or alien? Or on the run from gangsters. Our imaginations have certainly grown with the influx of streaming data at our fingertips and eyes, but what I love most about this mysterious and comedic play is the how they all come together in the end to solve the puzzle, even a couple who have recently split up, proving that friendship is one of the strongest bonds out there.
