  • Rene Zabel: CYRANO ON THE MOON by Monica Cross
    “

    I had the wonderful opportunity to direct Cyrano On the Moon in the 2020 Femme Fatale Play Festival. The story and characters is multifaceted and thoroughly engaging. I highly recommend.

  • Rene Zabel: Which Way to the Beach by Philip Middleton Williams
    “

    Phillip gives us a humorous and believable look into real life. The parents were honest and real, though lost. I say lost because of the notion of “what would the world think” attitudes. I say real, because I’ve heard this conversation in my own family, unfortunately, the conversation didn’t change anything. But, here, in What Way to the Beach, I believe there is a small inkling of change.

    What a great feel good story! I was emotionally, completely drawn into the story. The characters are believable, even those who are “made up”.

    What a fascinating story, with a great moral. I see hints of Brave and Aesop’s Fables. Who doesn’t love a good magical story…and we have one here.

  • Rene Zabel: Finger by DC Cathro

    What a trip! DC takes you on a ride, you never thought you would enjoy. I loved the non-linear writing. The dialogue - impressive!. This piece pulled me, emotionally, in so many directions. So dark - so good!

  • Rene Zabel: The Fierce Urgency Of Now by Doug DeVita
    “

    This is a stellar piece of writing! I was engaged the entire time. Strong character arcs. I made me laugh and cringe at the right moments. Kate, though I wanted to hate her, and I did for a moment, but revenge is best served with paint.
    Love it!

  • Rene Zabel: Not Fade Away - a Monologue by Marjorie Bicknell

    Brilliantly written. When scars take on a life of their own…it makes you think of your own. What do your scars say, about you, about what happened? The use of an object as a character/narrator is fascinating and haunting.
