While currently on sabbatical, theater professor Robert Lawson of Franklin Pierce College is working on many projects for spring and summer, including shooting a movie he co-wrote. 

     Lawson plans to shoot a movie later this spring that he has been working on with his writing partner, Jonathan Glatzer.  "[We've] been trying to get it kick started for five years," says Lawson.  The movie, entitled "Safety Glass," already has two cast
members: Steve Coogan, who was last seen as Octavius in "Night at the Museum" and Amber Tamblyn who starred in "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants."

     Lawson also writes plays for Andy's Summer Playhouse, a professional children's summer theater.  Currently he is working on "Andersen's Case," which is based on the life and work of fairy tale writer Hans Christian Andersen.  Lawson describes the show as a "a free-form, metaphoric journey into death recasting
Andersen's life story in a symbolic form using characters and fragments of his story."

     Lizette Morris, '07, has worked with Lawson on various projects including "Everything Is Going To Have To Be Put Back," which was his most recent production at F.P.C.  "I think his writing style basically consists of insightful observations
about the world as he sees it, but he breaks things down into fictional scenarios and really beautiful images that highlight the most necessary elements of the question he wants people to ask themselves," says Morris.

     Lawson will return to Franklin Pierce in the fall and will direct the theater production next Spring.
