  • Debra A. Cole: The Crown versus Santa Claus by Christopher Plumridge
    “

    What pure joy and delight! THE CROWN VERSUS SANTA CLAUS needs to be a seasonal theatre classic. Humor (okay.... humour since the case IS set before the crown), word play, and lovable characters make this short play a true gift.

  • Debra A. Cole: Snowing In November by Jaxson Mackling
    “

    While I myself am a big “no Christmas decorations until December" kind of gal, one can't not feel the joy that Jenna is spewing...all. over. her. place. This sweet two-hander of YIN and YANG is a lovely way to start an argument with audiences. Is it your fault that is snows in November if you decorate too early?

  • Debra A. Cole: Accidental Fatal Attraction by Rachel Feeny-Williams
    “

    I am a sucker for ridiculous love story, and ACCIDENTAL FATAL ATTRACTION fits the bill BEAUTIFULLY! I adore the hysterical worlds created by the talented Rachel Feeny-Williams. This couple is sure to go on to more outrageous adventures... if they live long enough.

  • Debra A. Cole: The Box by Christopher Soucy
    “

    What a simple box and a complicated and powerful scenario. Lives come and go out of spaces, and so rarely do the occupants think of those who lived there before them. Did the box create the worry or is it the change in motion for the couple? Clean characters - natural dialogue - powerful moments - this is a beautiful short play.

  • Debra A. Cole: Nine Ladies Dancing (a 4 minute comedy) by Nora Louise Syran
    “

    This is a wonderful giggle on the Nine Ladies Dancing trope. What a treat this would be to see staged... sans robes and all.

  • Debra A. Cole: Kurt and Orla : The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and the Princess Who Couldn’t Laugh by Rex McGregor
    “

    I love a new perspective on the old tale of The Princess That Couldn't Laugh. This version is fresh, engaging, and delightful. With a little deceit and a great deal of charm, this princess knows the score and is ready to take charge of the narrative.

    “

    Wow. All the feels. All is Calm by Scott Sickles is the tender and tragic "stop by cute" we all need this holiday season. The back and forth dialogue in this two-hander is truly raw and beautiful. You've done it again, Scott. BRAVO!

  • Debra A. Cole: Cracked Slipper by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    “

    I love reading a prince's perspective of that magical night in the castle where one glass shoe was left behind... well... shards of it at least. This would be the perfect monologue for middle school and high school boys auditioning.
