my life as a doormat (in three acts)  <p>act i: avoid conflict at all costs. even when someone signs you up for something you really don&apos;t want to do. act ii: try to hold things together, even when your life is spinning out of control. act iii: (you&apos;ll have to read the book to learn how it all plays out.)</p><p>playwright leah townsend doesn&apos;t think of herself as a doormat. in fact, her life is pretty good. there&apos;s the gorgeous and dependable edward (even if he is a little dull), and her challenging career (even if the last two plays were flops). the trouble is, leah&apos;s feeling restless these days. the new play isn&apos;t going well. her agent is handing out ultimatums. and her boyfriend edward, who insists leah "doesn&apos;t handle conflict well," has the nerve to enroll her in a conflict-management class full of people she&apos;s sure are her polar opposites, including a conservative talk-radio host named cinco dublin who thrives on the very thing leah wants to avoid--making waves. can a conflict-challenged playwright ever learn to stand her ground...even if life doesn&apos;t come in three predictable acts?</p>
