  • Debra A. Cole: We Come From Bears by Christopher Soucy
    “

    Family lore can bring humor, pride, or comfort... and family mythical lore can be even more powerful. Sadly, it's human hatred for a woman's right to choose and manage her own health and life that is truly terrifying in WE COME FROM BEARS. A true cautionary tale.

  • Debra A. Cole: Midnight Counsel by Christopher Soucy
    “

    Chris Soucy is a master of language. Proof of that is his short play Midnight Counsel. As one of the two "defenseless humans" in my household, I can only hope my cat Lucy feels as passionately about protecting us as this group of kitties does. LOVE THIS!

    Timely. Humorous. NEEDED! As writers, it's our duty to reflect the world around us, and SOUCY has created the perfect mirror to the ridiculous world we are negotiating.

  • Debra A. Cole: UNDER THE FLOORBOARDS by Julie Brandon
    “

    Absolutely terrifying... and very real right now. JULIE BRANDON has given words to the anxiety so many of us feel with the events unfolding everyday. If only this were a piece of history... long gone. POWERFUL.

    YES!!!!! ADAM RICHTER had me at, "Lights come up. SCHRODINGER, a famous scientist, enters, bloodied, scratched and in shredded clothes. He walks with a limp and carries a box of adhesive bandages." RICHTER is a master. BRAVO!

  • Debra A. Cole: Cat's Tongue by Jarred Corona
    “

    Although I have never written sensual theatre before, even I get the humor of JARRED CORONA's new piece CAT'S TONGUE. Sensors... bots... will audiences experience the intended desire of this scene? In the end, I say ABSOLUTELY due to CORONA's skill as a writer.

  • Debra A. Cole: oblige by Martin Heavisides
    “

    OBLIGE is the first piece I have read from MARTIN HEAVISIDES, and I am in awe. The poetry... the imagery... the vivid world created... all of this adds up to a rich and vibrant story ready for someone to bring to life.

    “

    The physical comedy of this short piece by ADAM RICHTER is.... nothing less than priceless. Between the clever interruptions and the colorful chaos, it is clear that Ruth was a character I would have loved to hang out with. BRAVO, RUTH! BRAVO, ADAM!

    HA! My guess is that ALL cats feel like this even after being left alone for 20 minutes!!!! But an African safari? THAT'S WAY TOO LONG. I believe this cat is entitled to damages... FIND A LAWYER, ANDI!
