  • Debra A. Cole: Noticing by Miranda Jonté
    “

    Change sometimes comes out of the blue... and sometimes... it comes with subtle shifts that have major impacts. MIRANDA JONTE has written a powerful monologue that calls attention to the later. Whatever the cause of this change, it sounds like it here to stay. Fear is gone, and power is here to stay.

    What a joy it was to hear this read. The build... the cheesiness... the REALness... it all makes for a hilarious interaction between a director and his actors.

    Absolutely brilliant! This monologue is the internal dialogue many of us experience, but only in the way SCOTT SICKLES could write. It's raw... it's painful... it's beautiful.

    Fascinating perspective! Shakespeare has never been my jam, but Paul Mescal could read a phone book and make me smile.

    What a heart-breaking piece that shines a light on family dysfunction and religious guilt. JULIE BRANDON has given the mic to a strong and passionately talented woman and the pain that kept her light burning. Powerful.
