  • Debra A. Cole: The Ten Minute Play (with a Nice Picture of Jimmy Carter) by Greg Hatfield
    “

    What a treat it was to listen to a production of this quirky 10-minute play about writing 10-minute plays on Theatrical Shenanigans with performances by Jeff and Jacquelyn Priskorn. https://theatricalshenanigans.podbean.com/ . Writers will get it... audiences will too. That's not an easy task. Way to go, GREG HATFIELD.

    I know I have recommended this fantastic short play before, but I just finished listening to the Theatrical Shenanigans production and wanted to chime in. https://theatricalshenanigans.podbean.com/

    This piece has always been strong, but listening to it come to life with two talented actors just reminds up that it's a true partnership between playwright and actor that brings real magic to audiences. Give yourself a gift and go listen to the podcast!

  • Debra A. Cole: The Confession by Anj Marie Riffel
    “

    Oh, the sins that need to be washed away in this new short play by ANJ MARIE RIFFEL. The dark humor is a true delight as ANJ takes us through the world of Catholic confession. God may know and see all, but she is probably exhausted after all of this honesty.

    What happens when two complete opposites connect? MAGIC in the capable hands of JILLIAN BLEVINS. TIPPING reminds audiences of the layers within each human, no matter what the outside presents. The banter, the pacing, and characters... all perfection. This short play is a gift for actors.

    Poetic, descriptive, and tender, this poignant short play by BRIAN CERN gives grace to a tough situation that happens in most families. The quiet beauty that CERN creates through language and pacing is a true gift.

    JARRED CORONA has written a ballet, an orchestration, and pure poetry with this powerful piece of theatre. This would be an absolutely unique experience for audiences. Stunning... just stunning.

    Poor, Stevie. This kid is a hoot! I'm pretty sure we were in choir and drama together. JONNY BOLDUC has written the perfect monologue... okay, there's one line from someone else... for any teen to bring to life! Dramatic and hilarious.
