  • Debra A. Cole: The Confession: A Short Monologue by Enid Cokinos
    “

    "There may have been a teensy bit of rage involved." - WHAT A LINE!

    ENID COKINOS gives the ultimate justification for dear Rapunzel as she looks below at Mother Gothel lifeless body, and audiences will be here for it. Sometimes, the truth DOES actually set you free! Any actress would have a field day bringing this expressive monologue to life at an audition or for a performance.

  • Debra A. Cole: Wrestling with Yeats (A Monologue) by Brent Alles
    “

    Junior English is wasted on the youth. Oh, how we all as adults need that instruction - that exposure once again. BRENT ALLES takes a moment in history, that half of us are struggling within, and reminds us of the wise and profound words of Yates. Stunningly accurate.

  • Debra A. Cole: THIS PLAY IS AN ALLEGORY by Adam Richter
    “

    Yep. This is where we are. Cat-leen Turner is just doing what cats do. No surprises. No altering who she is. ADAM RICHTER spells it out in the title THIS PLAY IS AN ALLEGORY, but will anyone listen? BRILLIANT.

  • Debra A. Cole: To Sprawl or Not To Sprawl by Christopher Sullivan
    “

    Just when I thought I couldn't LOVE Sequoia and Neil anymore, CHRISTOPHER SULLIVAN goes and writes this new installment. I am amazed at how all the plays in this series go together so seamlessly and, at the same time, stand alone perfectly. SULLIVAN is such a gifted playwright. READ HIM. PRODUCE HIM.

  • Debra A. Cole: The Fall of Liberty - Tabby Wrecks Everything (A One-Minute Play) by Brent Alles
    “

    Yes! Amazing what a simple photo prompt can elicit in a mind of a talented playwright. Just like the country we currently live in, liberty and justice for all can be swept to the ground as quickly as the swipe of a cat's paw to anything in its path. This one-minute tragedy is priceless.

  • Debra A. Cole: Everything About Her Was A Lie by Christopher Soucy
    “

    CLASSIC NOIR perfection! SOUCY has written a noir monologue to end all noir monologues. Gritty, witty, and wise, Frank walks us through just another day in paradise as he meets a dame that, to use SOUCY's words, "played [him] like a fiddle and made everyone dance to the tune." What an audition piece!

    Oh, I love this short play by BRENT ALLES so much. Colorful characters, magical language, playful banter... and hope... so much hope. What a fabulous opportunity for senior actors to shine on stage. SOME ONE PRODUCE THIS NOW!

    WOW! PRISMATIC by ANJ MARIE RIFFEL is a stunningly beautiful piece of theatre. The language... the visuals... the tone.... the emotions... THIS NEEDS TO BE PRODUCED! Riffel has created something truly moving.

    OLD SPORTS by BRIAN CERN is a love letter to friendship, aging, and being yourself, no matter what age. There are so few pieces that give seasoned actors changes to be real and raw, and this piece if a gift to that community. Thank you, Brian.
