  • Debra A. Cole: Boardwalk Concessions by Scott Sickles
    “

    SICKELES is truly a rockstar playwright. His piece Boardwalk Concessions has everything: rage, indignation, fading patience, honesty, and grease... glorious, glorious grease. A simple moment on the boardwalk allows two characters to shine equally. BRAVO!

    Dark and twisted - The American justice system's own infomercial! A great piece for a talented duo.

    Rachel has done it again. All the rage and trauma that many of us feel, she written the perfect scene to express all of it. This TIMELY piece is a must read.

  • Debra A. Cole: Are You Comfortable? by Christopher Plumridge

    The tension in this short piece is palpable. Not knowing the situation adds to the anxiety felt by the audience. The dialogue is targeted and slices into the unknown. I am left wanting to know and not wanting to know the situation all at the same time.

    I adore this delightful short play. McGregor is a master of creating character, whether human or not, and sucking the audience into the drama at hand. BRAVO!

Feeny-Williams has such an effortless way of creating tension and the right amount of anxiety is a short piece. Audiences will adore this creative piece.

    What a pleasure it was to experience this short play at the Sunday Literary & Discourse Society gathering. Difference religion, different race, or different species, fathers sadly do not accept their daughters choice in a partner sometimes. This creative piece speaks to differences and the prejudices that come as part of the family package.

  • Debra A. Cole: There Are No Closets in My Classroom by Nora Louise Syran

    As a retired teacher who had kids come out to her every year, not like Luca, but beautifully none the less, this touched home. We live in a time that seems to be marching forward for our youth, and backward for so many others. I miss the classroom, not for the subject matter I taught, but for the ideas, compassion, and critical thinking the curriculum provided. Thank you, Nora, for giving a voice to so many frustrated teachers.
