Wonderful work! I love the ideas and the relationship and how the exposition is there but without any strings - we know so much about them without being told. Super characters well-delineated and great reasons that their love might survive the icy year...

I love a play about grief, and this is so much more. The characters are wonderfully fleshed out, and the sense of place informs all the actions. The stakes are high. It's a ghost story, a haunting, a thriller of a story. Great work!

Mackling does a great job keeping the mystery of this play mysterious. The reveal feels fresh and raw. I appreciate the spare dialogue and Tate's refusal to let Siena in for good reasons. It feels urgent and exciting and would be great for two actors to work on.

A perfect comic gem in 60 seconds! Wonderful work! As a dog parent and poop-picker-upper, there are big philosophical truths in here along with the fun, scatalogical ending!

Wow - watching Terri and Doug get off to a rocky start will be hilarious! Terri puts Doug through the rollercoaster of her fears while Doug has to hold on without a seatbelt. This is a very funny first date's first ten minutes thanks to Gillette's great dialogue and the way she creates Terri's character. I look forward to reading more of her work.

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.

Stardust is the perfect title for this play about dreams and their power over us. With wonderful roles for all three actors, these characters are so full and well-drawn, they each have so much life in them! Read and produce!

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!
