  • Lee R. Lawing: Thank You For Your Service

    I've never seen Sophie's Choice but that saying is well cemented in almost everyone's mind and this is like the Sophie Choice of dog and owners and which one will Kelly choose. This pulls at your heart in all the best possible ways.

  • Lee R. Lawing: The Curtain Speech- A Monologue

    How you can argue with a playwrights who says you don't care what you think of their play because they're not changing one word in it and I would say that's a very good thing in this fascinating, can't turn your eyes away from the accident of a monologue. Bravo.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Nonsense and Beauty

    An ode to love that speaks on so many levels of the differences between classes and between sexualities and age differences. Opposites attract they say and it's definitely true in the case or Morgan and Bob, but what exists between them transcends just a biographical tale of E,M. Forster and Bob Buckingham as they face the harsh realities of the day and age to cherish a love that each have for the other even after Bob marries May. Despite what the Christian mind-set teaches us, thinking outside those rigid boxes allowed them all to find beauty in the nonsense.

  • Lee R. Lawing: The Wrinkle Ranch (from the THE WRINKLE RANCH AND OTHER PLAYS ABOUT GROWING OLD collection)

    I can see why this delightful piece would win the People's Choice for Best Short. As I age, I realize that what my mom said to me is so true. You keep looking back at the mirror and are surprised by the outward appearance because inside you feel like a twenty year old. I think my mom would have fit in with the rest of this group and enjoyed this new version of scrabble!

  • Lee R. Lawing: Etched in Stone

    I love cemeteries as settings and I hope that I grew up to treat life the same way Fanny does by drinking margarites at her husband's gravesite. Death is always one of those parts of life that we don't know how we will deal with it and even though everyone around faces that end, it's still something that is overwhelming and it's important to remember that sometimes it's important to dance even if it's in a cemetery and celebrate the lives lived. Etched in Stone would help anyone process the inevitable when it comes to our end. Cheers to that!

  • Lee R. Lawing: Stella Adler, a monologue

    So this wonderful monologue read on Tiny Theater! The name you know, but maybe not the person so much, and I felt like this monologue was such a great introduction to such a towering figure in the acting world.

  • Lee R. Lawing: THE DEATHS OF JAMES MASON

    I love old movies was drawn to the title instantly. For us, actors are always bigger than our own existence and how we play out our own day to day. Mason's daughter points out how many times her father dies on camera and this leads dark and funny account from the actor about all of those existences which sort of seals him as god of various means who dies and dies and always rises for another day and film until the final death ends any more times around the sun!

  • Lee R. Lawing: Where the Snow Never Ends

    This was the play of the day for me and I'm so glad to have discovered it. Love Amy's vision of what the perfect world would be with the snow and how it allows for fresh tracks that have never been seen or can be repeated. She is grieving and in that grief finds a passage through that so many would find rewarding.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Bulletproof Love

    The heart wants what the heart wants and when you find it and you know it's the right one, nothing's going to stand in your way of finalizing that love on your wedding day if you believe in that kind of thing and Ramona does, no matter the wait. This little gem is pure poetry.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Moo-Maid

    Oh the wonderful lessons you can learn from the old school Disney animated films. Wonderful dark comedy in this monologue of a man going about his job as he talks about how proud he is of his daughter who loves her moo-maid.
