  • A Playwright Asks... "What if?" PART TWO by Sam Heyman
    19 Feb. 2023
    “ Playwriting is a paradox of an art form: at once solitary and dependent on others. Sam Heyman documents this tension so brilliantly in this short audio play that will resonate with ANYONE who needs/relies on the feedback from others for their works. It's a poignant reminder on how to set expectations for others, and how to be gracious with ourselves. BRAVO! ”
  • Prompt 16 by Christopher Soucy
    16 Feb. 2023
    “ What Debra said. Sometimes play requirements are ridiculous and this short piece nails the frustrations of a thousand writers. Yes to this. ”
  • Submission Opportunities by Debra A. Cole
    16 Feb. 2023
    “ This is a perfect take on the absurdity of a recent 28 Plays Later Prompt, but it works beyond that exercise by giving us a story with which all writers can identify. "Submission Opportunities" is a hilarious satire of the unpleasant side of the creative business: Actually finding places to take your work. Bravo, Debra Cole! ”
  • A Case of the Mondays by Debra A. Cole
    15 Feb. 2023
    “ Mass shootings are the worst part of American life. A close second is the way that we as a society have accepted them as the price of "freedumb" for the last 50 years. Debra Cole's disturbing but powerful short play is a reminder that not only have school shootings been a phenomenon for decades, but we used to be outraged about them.
    Brilliant work. ”
  • The Isle of Lizzbo: A VERY SHORT Jukebox Musical Based on the Music of Our Queen Mother… Lizzo by Debra A. Cole
    15 Feb. 2023
    “ Just when you thought it was not possible to love Lizzo more, Debra Cole gives us this fantastic musical! The story integrates the songs seamlessly, and Cole presents relatable characters in whose struggles the audience becomes fully invested. And then they sing, which just makes you love the songs even more.
    It's about damn time someone put this on a stage! ”
  • Shower Issues by Christopher Soucy
    10 Feb. 2023
    “ Short, disturbing, supernatural and laugh-out-loud funny. In other words, another terrific Christopher Soucy play. I think audiences would have a ball with this, and the last line will bring the house down. Bravo! ”
  • Bones by Cesario Tirado-Ortiz
    10 Feb. 2023
    “ Who we truly are lies somewhere between the bones and the skin, and Cesario Tirado-Ortiz brings that fact to life brilliantly in this captivating and important monologue.
    Atticus Finch advised that you never really know someone until you "climb inside of his skin and walk around in it," and that is exactly the journey the audience travels with this monologue.
    People who do not understand the trans experience need to hear this piece. ”
  • The Neighbors by Hilary Bluestein-Lyons
    10 Feb. 2023
    “ This should be #lifegoals for any married couple as they approach their golden years: To spy on the goings-on of passersby and annoy one's spouse with quick banter. Is there anything better in life?
    I'd love to see "The Neighbors" on a stage. Older actors would eat this up, and audiences would have a ball. Bravo! ”
  • NOH More Drama: A Children’s Origin Play Based on Japanese Myth by Debra A. Cole
    10 Feb. 2023
    “ What a beautiful and incredibly theatrical piece! Debra Cole gives us an intro to Noh theater that is entertaining, poignant and downright lovely.
    I would love to see this on a stage!
    ”
  • How Much Do You Love Me? by Christopher Soucy
    8 Feb. 2023
    “ A terrific two-hander that keeps the suspense taut as a harp string all the way to the end, which is just perfect. I watched the author and actor/playwright Miranda Jonte perform this play at Back Porch Theater, and I don't think I took a breath through the entire play.
    Bravo! ”
