Superfun caper of a short play! The characters are fabulous, and Lucy is a hoot! I really enjoyed this well-crafted piece that goes exactly where I want it to go. Glad to see that it was reset in a laundromat which is the perfect place for it. Shows what good revision can do!

A stunning and beautifully told homage to June and also to Gypsy, Rose, Ethel, and Arthur and Jerry, to Broadway, the old days, the bright lights and the dreams, Fable is also a wise-cracking, rib-splitting, tough-as-nails tour-de-force with great roles for women. I would love to see this staged. What is it about us humans that makes us want to be able to control our own narratives? Wonderful work that I highly recommend.

An out-standing portrait of young lesbian love, I am so thrilled to imagine this play lighting up a festival of shorts! Cole writes these young lovers innocently and yet aware in some ways of the world-at-large (the sound effects and Julie's mom in particular) that seep into this moment and change the possibilities creating limits that are real and moving. Sad and true.

Marvelous new play to help us all make the necessary changes to accept gender non conforming people and our pronouns. Boils the blood, and then makes it all better! I loved the ending! Thank you, Debra A. Cole! This play musta been waiting for someone to write it, and I'm so glad you did!

I found Sapio's Wolves to be a wonderful and theatrical play filled with imagination. The way each role has its own musical instrument as a skill and point of view is such a unique way to create character that reminds me of Aristotle's injunction: we are what we do. I love the ideas in the play and the sense of the outer world encroaching. Fabulous work!

Wow! A highly theatrical and dramatic script with great subtext and so much for the actors to chew on! Wonderful and surprising work.

The Muses of Humanity uses theatre to make some strong statements about the nature of art and inspiration. Mackling confronts the audience in a twist at the end that feels really dramatic and might be great in a Festival of the Dark Strange & Twisted. I am thrilled that Mackling is exploring theatre this way and look forward to where it might lead...

A beautiful play of transformation. I love these two young Roma street-kids and remember them from my days in Vienna and Paris when I used to be a busker, and the street-kids used to pass out on the sidewalk. I love their dreams and how they are scrounging to survive. Stanescu is a playwright of dreams and should be produced more often!

Have you ever wondered why Mark Harvey Levine gets all the hits on the binge? It's because his plays are hilariously funny and laugh out loud enjoyable. He writes every line to crack us up. Nothing is wasted! Improve your abdominals - read and produce!

A very funny intergenerational play about love that will be a hit at any festival. It gives me all the right feels. Levine does a super job letting William reveal his marriage and his relationship with his daughter to Teddy by having him use all this personal history as a way to convince Teddy he'd be better off single, and yet the two men seem more alike with each vignette. Well done!
