  • Lee R. Lawing: Come in for Coffee?

    Saw this funny funny play read on Tiny Theater and it sparkled perfectly from these actor's reading!! First dates can be so trying and with all the expectations that come with them, even more so. When they are filled with witty dialogue they go down all the more easier, even if you take your coffee black.

  • Lee R. Lawing: WANDA: A MONOLOGUE WITH A TREADMILL

    Wyndham always allows the reader to get an intimate snapshot into his character's lives from the setting itself, the part of the country they live in, and also just the situation of how they talk and act and Wanda is no different. We soon realize her treadmill is standing in for a bigger issues that she's facing, trying to outrun the domestic violence she's experiencing and also the fact that's she's pregnant from this man and is trying to carry out a decision that should be hers legally and safely in a state where they are slipping away each day.

  • Lee R. Lawing: SKATEBOARDS AND BLUEBERRY PANCAKES

    Once I asked my mom what it felt like to be her age and she said that she felt the same inside and was always shocked that her outside appearance didn't match the younger inquisitive person on the inside that never went away. As I get older I get more and more what that feels like. This play is so much fun and entertaining and a good lesson about never giving up or having fear to try new things.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Last Call - A Monologue

    This one brought too many memories of similar events that occurred to me outside a laundromat as I was getting back into my car a few men who wanted to let me know they didn't like me because I was gay. . Coleman's monologue has so many pieces in it of a man knowing that things have to change, and knowing that our system isn't just. And it still isn't. Just today I read about a man who set fire to a gay bar in Brooklyn to get rid of more men because of who they are. Keep fighting!

  • Lee R. Lawing: Getting Her Exorcise

    I loved Rosemary's Baby and The Omen so much and the kid in the Omen was so creepy but then so was Rosemary with her pixie cut and plastic acting by Mia Farrow which scared us all as we watched the movie Busser gives us a funny one for Mother's Day and the jokes fly fast and furious but the feel of love is front and center for this play even though it's in Hell showing that a son's bond with his mother, no matter where, is the strongest bond of them all.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Cheese Sauce (A Monologue)

    12 Minute seems like such a short time for anything, but I know at times I've been in situations where they seemed to crawl in cement. Frank gives us a monologue about dating and the anxiety that brings with it. Funny and so touching and one for the all of use who are willing to put ourselves out there in that line of fire.

  • Lee R. Lawing: WHITE NOISE

    Funny as heck! And pretty much what we have to do to survive in a world that forever feels hopeless. The other option is for all of us hopeless ones to start screaming and just create our own white noise that might overpower the hopelessness of our world and make everyone fall silent all at once and see what is causing the disruption that's not war or famine or death or religion or race wars, class wars, or gender wars or democratic battles or bullying. . . . oh wait, I need one of those CDs.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Jesus and Hitler Sing a Lullaby

    Funny play with a great reminder that even those who are evil and caused so much evil under a little old religion that was founded in his name, were children once just like the rest of us and then a road diverges and well, the rest of it is history for all of us to read about in school books, or bibles, or online sites and try to figure out a way to not let such atrocious things happen again.

  • Lee R. Lawing: The Near Distant Future (a socially distanced ten minute play)

    Nothing says quite love like sanitizer fumes. Love this twisted take on the romantic comedy. Someone's got to pay the price for true love when it's found!

  • Lee R. Lawing: The Answer

    Some of us wake up daily wondering what the answer is for this question and so many of us just bury our heads into the sand with either guidance from "up above" or through meditation or just being a selfish sort of person who knows exactly what they want and how to get it. Carbajal gives a funny moment to sit back and remove that pressure to answer the question by watching someone else do it and at some point that ease of burden is enough to make it to the next time we wake up.
