After Lee's death, Lawrence continued to write plays in his Malibu, California, home. The two deliberately avoided Broadway later in their careers and formed the American Playwrights Theater in 1963 to help promote their plays. Lawrence describes their plays as "shar the theme of the dignity of every individual mind, and that mind's life-long battle against limitation and censorship". Lawrence and Lee won acclaim for the 1955 play Inherit the Wind, based on the Scopes trial. The two built a partnership over their lifetimes, and continued to collaborate on screenplays and musicals until Lee's death in 1994. After graduating from the Ohio State University in 1937 and the University of California, Los Angeles in 1939, Lawrence partnered with Robert Edwin Lee to help create Armed Forces Radio. Jerome Lawrence (born Jerome Lawrence Schwartz J– February 29, 2004) was an American playwright and author.
