←Recommendations of Stork Patrol

A powerful work that puts our reality and hypocrisy on glaring display. There are plays that take swings, but few can connect with the devastating punch that Cole accomplishes here.

This is exciting. It's a gut punch. It's important, powerful, and salient. It's what theater should be. Amazing.

Sometimes a show comes along that hits you so hard you immediately write a recommendation for it and then forget to hit "submit" because you're distracted and can't get the show out of your head. This is that show and more than a year later I'm back to recommend it again. No punches were pulled, or deserved to be pulled, in this sharp and cutting piece about the current hypocrisy of the overturning Roe v Wade. Like all great near-future dystopia, this show shines a harsh light on the failings of our own society. This show is the perfect protest.

"Stork Patrol" is a powerful play that makes you think. It's about personal choices and how they connect to politics. Ashley and Brad face consequences for their voting decisions. They must either house three children or pay a big fee. The play explores responsibility, choice, and beliefs. It leaves a lasting impression.

Excellent. Debra A. Cole's 10-minute STORK PATROL illustrates exactly what is/was on the line with Roe's reversal and what the quiet part may be when some people say they "value life". While labeled a drama, I had many a dark laugh, because if I don't laugh, I know I'll cry. Can't wait to read more from Deb Cole!

Exquisite. Every artistic director at a theater with courage needs to read this right now.

A brilliant piece that stabs at the heart of hypocrisy. Every decision has consequences, and voting is a decision, and those consequences are literally laid at the feet of the decision makers in this well crafted satire.

This is a perfect little satire laying bare the hypocrisy of members of the so-called "Pro-Life" movement. The unwillingness of some people to take full responsibility for what they voted for, and, at least in the case of the characters in this play, what they are willing to do when they are assured the neighbors won't find out are appalling. Great and timely work.

I had the great pleasure of hearing this scathing satire of the hypocrisy of the "pro-life" movement on the Theatrical Shenanigans podcast. The witty premise of the play offers a dark look at the potential repercussions of forced birth with deep anger underlying the humor. The chilling conclusion really packs a wallop.

STORK PATROL is a great satire by Debra A. Cole that shows the hypocrisy in some folks' "beliefs." Check this one out on the Theatrical Shenanigans podcast!
