  • Debra A. Cole: The Bench by Brenton Kniess
    “

    A simple bench - a place where people reflect and rest. THIS bench holds memories. Memories of a love that is now gone, but still lives on within the wooden grain of this bench. Some call these memories ghosts, but BRENTON KNIESS beautifully reminds us that not all ghosts haunt us. Some give us peace and joy for what was. JUST BEAUTIFUL.

  • Debra A. Cole: Enough is Enough by Anj Marie Riffel
    “

    GO, VENUS! ANJ MARIE RIFFEL's brilliant, very short play ENOUGH IS ENOUGH speaks to frustrated, angry, and disillusioned women at the moment. Where is the line? When do we finally say, NO MORE. Venus says it is now, and I am ready for the revolution. RIFFEL is a brilliant writer with so much to say, and I am here for it. WE ALL BETTER WORK!

  • Debra A. Cole: JUST LIKE RIDING A BICYCLE by Julie Brandon
    “

    In plays about young people, we have "meet cutes." I play about more seasoned humans, JULIE BRANDON has given us "remember cutes" and audiences will love it! JUST LIKE RIDING A BICYCLE is sure to bring smiles to everyone. Change is hard, but revisiting old favorites might just make this transition a little easier.

  • Debra A. Cole: STOCKHOLM SYNDROME - A ONE-MINUTE PLAY by Adam Richter
    “

    Using the words of an old bath soap ad, "Take me away, Calgon!" Never I have been more envious of someone in the faerie world. ADAM RICHTER gives audiences a way out, and we are here for it. YES, PLEASE!

  • Debra A. Cole: ABANDONMENT [A 1-MINUTE MONOLOGUE] by Steven G. Martin
    “

    Such a painful and raw monologue for a young teen boy to perform. Audiences will feel sick, and they watch a young human grabbing for what he always trusted but can no longer believe. Wow.

  • Debra A. Cole: BURNED OUT by Julie Brandon
    “

    ADORABLE! I love the idea of a grand-dragon. I'll need to talk to my daughter about that.

    JULIE BRANDON has written a charming short play about trust, growing up, and problem solving. This would be FABULOUS in a high school play festival.

  • Debra A. Cole: KIDS IN CARS by Jaxson Mackling
    “

    A vehicle symbolizes free to many teens, but they need to remember, a car can be a 4,000 pounds killing machine too. Life is precious. Driving is a privilege. JAXSON MACKLING shows the painful fall out of one split second in his short play, KIDS IN CARS.
