  • Debra A. Cole: Alone? by Rachel Feeny-Williams
    “

    Had the absolute pleasure of hearing this on Theatrical Shenanigans as the first of 28 days of audio productions. What a fabulous premise... a man alone for years and suddenly his world is changed by the arrival of a mysterious woman. RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS is a master of creating fascinating worlds and this two-hander continues the trend. Bringing these characters to life would a gift to seasoned actors.

    “

    Jessie Salsbury has offers audiences a private glimpse into the complicated lives, and death, of the family left to write the final story. Real, relatable, and raw, Jessie’s characters are in another tough moment in an already traumatic family saga. Audiences will know these feelings and cheer for the final result.

    What a beautiful and tender moment between a parent and teenager. Growing up is tough, any having the courage to learn new things can be even tougher. This simple two-hander is anything but simple. It's layered. It's natural. It's lovely.

  • Debra A. Cole: The Remarkably Unremarkable Crucifixion of Emma Reynolds by Daniel Prillaman

    Holy cow... what short play/monologue. DANIEL PRILLAMAN has written something that will haunt audiences for some time after experiencing it. Working with teens, I recognize the feelings of Emma and the plight she cannot escape. PRILLAMAN creates a world that defies logic, time, and consequences. Absolutely superb.

    What wonderful friends. Graduation brings joy, elation, and sometimes.... worry. This sweet coming of age short play would be a gift to any high school actresses looking to show their stuff.

    What an absolute beautiful telling of a mother and son trying to find new common ground after years of separation. CHRISTIAN ST. CROIX has given two authentic and raw voices to characters who give us real hope for redemption. In addition to thoughtful dialogue, it's the quiet moments without words that say so much in this wonderful short play.

    “

    Girl... I get it. You get to a certain age as a women, and you have... needs. Needs that only can be met with a summer fling. WHAT A FABULOUS monologue for a woman of "certain age" to bring to life on stage. Hilarious.
