Lawrence Dial
Lawrence Dialis a playwright and Disc Jockey living in New York City and Hamburg, Germany. Having launched the Dial record label under his pseudonymous moniker Peter M. Kersten in 2000, his music has been described as "deep and functional Detroit-ish technosoul". His love of house and techno music made him launch the Smallville record store in Hamburg’s St. Pauli district.http://www.rbmaradio.com/shows/lawrence-fireside-chat
"Throughout the years, his discography maintained a unique touch and downcast mood that mirrored the grayscale graphic design in which his releases were presented."[1]

Lawrence Dial is also a resident playwright for the New York City based Labrats Theater Company,[3] which produced his play HA!HA! in 2011.
An early-career one-act Old Kid Cod starring Lindsey Broad was performed at The American Theatre of Actors in late June 2007. In a review of the production, Richard Hinojosa of nytheatre.com called Dial "a playwright to look out for".[4]
BEEF was performed as part of the Crown Point Festival at the Abrons Art Center, October 2007.[5] BEEF was subsequently produced (in an expanded two-act version) by Slant Theatre Project in May 2008 at 78th Street Theatre Lab starring Robert Karma Robinson. Jason S. Grossman of nytheatre.com wrote, "BEEF is a powerful new play... Dial's provocative script crackles from page one... Director Adam Knight has done an excellent job in allowing the taut script to simmer and explode... 78th Street Lab Theatre has never been put to better use".[6]
His play Promise Tomorrow Today, starring James Fauvell and Meredith Autry won the Best Play award in the 2010 Downtown Urban Theatre Festival.[7] http://www.downtownurban.net/index.php?p=fullhistory
His other plays include: Been Down So Long Looks Like Up To Us (workshopped at Labyrinth Theatre's 2010 Summer Intensive Ensemble), and an upcoming production of Carroll Gardens Aborning.
His plays have been said to often involve the use of slang, jargon, or invented language.[4]
