  • Debra A. Cole: Cupcake by Bruce Karp

    What a dark short play with a delightful ending. The Jarrods of the world are often raised - not born, and one mother finds out that her past decisions and actions have finally caught up with her and her little Cupcake. Is it wrong to say this play is DELICIOUS?

    OMG, like this play was so pink and fun!

    What a wonderful look at the toxic and one-way relationships that Barbie has established with Skipper, Ken, and everyone plastic in her totally flying horse, sparkle-ly world.

    So much pain and so many complicated feelings….

    This one minute with a mother and son, while an ending, it is just the beginning of many more conversations before healing can begin.

    Lovely.

    So touching. We love our pets no matter what. SAMANTHA creates a beautifully layered character in Paul.

    Touching and beautiful, this lovely short play portrays a moment of hope for one character and reality for the other. We all need to believe that there really are mermaids.

    Wow. Out of the mouths of babes…

    This beautiful short piece will leave audiences in tears and one can only hope, enraged enough to make change.

  • Debra A. Cole: Not Even the Girlfriend by Emma Goldman-Sherman
    “

    What a powerful piece for a young actress to sink her teeth into! It starts in one dramatic direction and turns quickly down an even more personal and empowering road. Actors and audiences will be moved to thoughtful discussions after having the pleasure of seeing it come to life.

    What a powerful piece of a not that distant future where the tables have turned and women of color rule the House and the Senate. In this world, white supremacists try to cover their former acts, past affiliations, and ugly beliefs. Is it too late? Most likely. JESSIE has certainly created a short play that will have audiences talking.

  • Debra A. Cole: BURGER BOY: A MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham

    Burgers are life, and this guy gets it. This would be a delightful monologue for a talented, seasoned actor to bring to life. The desperation would be fun for audiences.

    EMILY MCCLAIN's funny and truly frightening satire on healthcare professionals and the opioid crisis is dead on. One day a hurt knee, the next day... heroine in abandoned houses. There has to be another way. This short play will have audiences talking...and that is everything.
