Press Reviews
"Based on the true life adventures of Joe Monaghan, a woman cowboy of the late 1800s, who passed for a man her entire adult life. ”LITTLE JOE MONAGHAN is a poignant, humorous, fanciful projection of what might have been the thoughts and emotions of Josephine Monaghan…Lebow's style is lyrically vernacular, with humanity, warmth and a piquant sense of humor exhibited in the snappy dialogue. The title role is a tour de force for a versatile actress…LITTLE JOE is a intriguing and compassionate play."
