  • Lee R. Lawing: The Return of the Shogun

    Toxic masculinity is always such hard topic to read about, but this one provides such heart with Saleem that you can feel the rage building up for that need to end some of this toxicity which is his mom's new boyfriend. This play made me so tense and the characters were all believable which shows a very good writer at work.

  • Lee R. Lawing: THE FERRIS WHEEL - a short play for both stage and radio

    Saw this play read on Tiny Theater Grab Bag. So many of us have these relationships that are life-long and put us through so many turn and twists along the way, but that this is done on a Ferris Wheel gives this play that wholeness that is infinite and never ending with those big moments in life that define us, break us , or make us more aware of the short time we have on this planet.

  • Lee R. Lawing: First Lesson

    Saw this beautiful play read on Tiny Theater Grab-bag and it is a touching and a play that speaks to being human and having a soul as a human and empathy toward our fellow people-kind that are just trying to live in a world where some of us are targeted for our race and not even allowed to be the person that we should be or become. This is about never giving up on the hope that this world will change and if it does not, trying everything to give back to this world to help it do so.

  • Lee R. Lawing: The Pity Mourner (Ten Minute)

    Sometimes the fates puts us into places that prove beneficial. Such a fate is this delightful romantic play The Pity Mourner by Donnelly. Archie and Margaret are two lost souls when they meet at Margaret's mother's wake, proving that doors both of them thought closed will still open if they just try turning the doorknobs to see if they still work.

  • Lee R. Lawing: 4 Words of Advice (5 minute play)

    Wow! If we only had such words as we were maturing to be the person that we hoped to be. This play will resonate for anyone and there were so many gems through out, but I was especially drawn to never underestimating a haircut. A-People!

  • Lee R. Lawing: ALICE IN THERAPY (from the TAPAS COLLECTION)

    As I was reading this I was like, wow, why hasn't anyone else ever put these two fascinating characters in the same play. I'm just happy did that Lermond did as it makes for a funny and entertaining and thought-provoking play.

  • Lee R. Lawing: The Known Universe (Part Three of The Second World Trilogy)

    Like a great work of literature that you do not want to end, you keep reading the third part of Sickles brilliant trilogy wanting just that, for this to not be the concluding chapter. As epic as this third play is, that word doesn't do total justice when writing this recommendation. A love story for the new ages and one that will still play with such empathy today, tomorrow and well into the future it represents. The Second World Trilogy offers up a cry for change with heroes that stand up proudly for their dying world and love.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Into the D

    I've only spent one night in Detroit and that was because I missed a connecting flight and had to catch a new one out the next morning. After reading Into the D, I wish I could have had a journey like Goldie of Oxford. I love new takes on the fairy tales and Floyd breathes so much humor and funny lines into this one that I feel that I have discovered all the beauty that Detroit has to offer and can be a beacon of light for this great city with the little bit of spirit now inside me.
