  • Lee R. Lawing: Pugette in a Slingshot

    We all go through those mid-life crisis where we start to think about our lives: what we have done, what we have accomplished. Did we make the right choices. Only one life to live and is it being lived to its most fullest. Stubbles explores this here. Great title and my play of the day which is always fun when I know the playwright! France takes a moment to reevaluate her life up to this moment brought on by a horrible nightmare and we as the reader do the same thing with ourselves. And a great last line!

  • Lee R. Lawing: Circle the Drain

    It's the saying that we keep "marrying or partnering up" with the same person over and over, a lot of times with that other person just becoming a few years younger. What a great title for this play. If only they made divorce illegal, maybe that would stop a lot of these first marriages so that when you tire of the older model, you could just easily shit to a newer and so called better one that you love more--just because it's new, just like the older one you so loved to death back when they were new.

  • Lee R. Lawing: The Rowan Knight

    I saw a zoom production of this by Crafton Hills College and what an incredible tale this is . Curry's The Roman Knight is cautionary tale of what can happen when one witch steps beyond her magical means and intervenes with a Knight who has suffered a serious battle wound. The production was at times funny but always thought-provoking as Curry did mention that this play was on about mental illness and you can see that with Sir Rowan after he is saved by the witch.

    Such wonderous theatricality! This was my play of the day and what a summer treat indeed.

  • Lee R. Lawing: Clasp

    Love in the time of covid. Reminds me a lot about all the dating days when I first started out and AIDS was still taking its toll on the gay world and you'd meet up with someone and think, does he have it? Do I have it and not know it? Clasp is so very real and and tugs at your heart so very hard. Malone's play states that social distancing is not going to be a forever thing and his play makes us glad that that is the case.

  • Lee R. Lawing: How To Brew Tea: A One-Minute Play

    A life-long lesson in one-minute. How to Brew Tea is so simple and it is that simplicity which makes it such a joy to read and see on stage! Another great one-minute play!

  • Lee R. Lawing: Slow Burn

    Love and relationships are hard enough to maneuver as it is, when you're girlfriend just happens to be a criminal and you a decretive, the maneuvering is amped a thousand times. I liked the beginning as it surprised me a little at what was going on. Two people at the opening of any pay drawing guns has a 50/50 chance at ending a little painfully, but this gentle comedy had me from the very start and I was happy with being caught!

  • Lee R. Lawing: My Dad is a Scar

    Powerful and very raw. Pulling at every type of emotion in the spaces of two pages. The unknown abuse children face is unforgiveable, but when a father is suffering from PTSD, you start to see a darker and even more terrifying life for this young boy and how brave he's been up through this talk he's having with his teacher.

  • Lee R. Lawing: HIDE and SEEK

    This play is so creepy in all the best ways. It's like a fable that parents tell their children in order to get them behave. Don't be like the siblings who went to paly hide and seek without their parents 'permission or you'll be lost forever. At turns funny, and then right back to creepy. Excellent play!

  • Lee R. Lawing: THE FINALIST

    A dream come true for any playwright! Affoumado presents one playwrights adventure with a reading panel for a big festival. Funny and also just downright heartwarming, this play touches on so many feelings for any artist that reads it. Glad this was my play of the day today!
