  • Lee R. Lawing: The Man Who Shot Hitler

    I am so glad McKnight was the writer of the day and I'm extremely glad that I found this play in his list. Parts ghost story, part pantomime and part bewildering which fits this piece perfectly. It's as if you fell asleep and dreamed this magical little vignette and have just woke up from that dream wanting more.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Temporal Physiques

    Comedy as only Busser can do. You get the fast and furious with him and I'm never disappointed with any play I ready by him. I love the diet time-machine idea and this is one funny play. You find yourself leaving facts behind and letting the fantasy and humor take you over!

  • Lee R. Lawing: To Change a Tampon: How It Is, and How It Should Be

    This is one funny play and it just reminds me so much of the time I grew up in when nothing was ever discussed and what benefit did it provide except cause nervous breakdowns and a generation living in Mattel Wonderland where every penis and vagina was made smooth to not offend the masses.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Waiting Room

    Kaplan presents just a small moment in the lives of two women who have such a long future in front of them, except that we are left with that hollow feeling that that is not always a possibility when crazy people take the power of "god" into their own hands. These CODERED plays are sadly needed to present to as many people that we can get them in front of because everyone who wakes up each morning should not have to face the kind of monster that ends up with a gun in his hand taking on 'god's work.

  • Lee R. Lawing: My Body

    It's a shame that from the start of religion, women and men weren't created equal by god, but "HE" didn't do that and so we've been playing catch-up with equality since the very start and it's been one long road. Bublitz offers up a funny play about a switch in what it might be like if men were not in charge at all, and quite frankly, even being one, I'd be glad with that outcome!

  • Lee R. Lawing: THE ABORTION BUS

    If some people in this country had their say and way, we'd be experiencing this story in real time and sooner than we all can imagine. January 6 2021 gave us a little light of that tunnel all too realistically. The women on the bus are all just resigned into what they are told to think, believe and experience and once again it smacks me in the face of just how a small minority could push for this type of world again. Alise gives us that time in this chilling play and it's very well done.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Bronte's Mom

    Being a Dog and Cat dad, this play pleases me so much. I love the intimacy of the couple and their struggle to get past one set-back on the possibility of having children as if that might help their relationship, but in this quiet scene, we learn that there is a stronger bond than the dog or the possibility of children, there is their bond that they re-discover is as strong as the first night they fell in love and talked about future plans which probably included, dogs, children, a house , dreams and world all their own.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Cake

    The pits of depression can be overwhelming. And we all seem to be so afraid to talk about it or discuss it as if it might be a drag on the conversation. And yet when we do seek help and seek a solution to end it, it should be the point that’s first and foremost. I speak from experience and know that my pits are still there, but thankfully not as dark as the once were. Priskorn offers a meditation on thee subject in her delightful and very though-provoking play which is dessert enough for us all.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Cracked Slipper

    A tale as old as time (Okay that was Beauty and the Beast) but Cinderella is right up there with that one as being a classic and I love what Priskorn does with the prince in the monologue. It’s current and relatable for any young audience out there as well as the older ones. A classic indeed.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Faerie Ring

    Giving birth is a joy for most, but for those mothers who suffer from Postpartum depression, it must be an extra burden that would be confusing to anyone not suffering. In this moving allegory, Priskorn shows us a distraught mother who must leave her baby behind to find solace among the faeries only to have her grown daughter track her down for a confrontation and that wisdom can be shared at every part of motherhood.
