Jack Rice Defense: Finding Inspiration in Unexpected Places Including at The Children’s Theater

Recently, Jack Rice, a passionate criminal defense attorney, took a moment away from the courtroom hustle to immerse himself in the warmth and whimsy of the local arts scene. He took his grandkids to an extraordinary play, Leonard! A Wonderful Show about a Terrible Monster, produced by the nationally acclaimed theatre company Manual Cinema at the Children’s Theater in Minneapolis. What was meant to be a night of entertainment quickly became a source of profound inspiration for his work and approach to the law.

“A good criminal defense attorney can find inspiration is some of the most surprising places.”

At first glance, it might seem surprising for a criminal defense attorney to find inspiration in a children’s play about monsters, but as Leonardo’s journey unfolds, deeper themes emerge. The story centers around Leonardo, a well-meaning monster whose one job is to scare. However, despite his best efforts — "Booga booga booga!" — he can’t even frighten a mouse. As the other monsters mock him, Leonardo embarks on a quest to discover the most "scaredy-cat kid" to finally achieve the scary status he so desperately desires.

Through Leonardo’s heartfelt pursuit, Jack found echoes of his own journey as a defense attorney. Just like Leonardo faces the challenge of being perceived as scary, Jack often navigates the fears and misconceptions surrounding criminal defense and more importantly his clients. His role is not to instill fear but to advocate for those in precarious situations—people who are often misunderstood or judged.
