  • Debra A. Cole: an open letter to parents who send their boys to summer camp by Wren Aubrey Latham
    “

    Simply put, this monologue by WREN AUBREY LATHAM is pure poetry. The melodic words will be a true gift to anyone who chooses to perform this piece about youth, about anchors, and about stars.

    Okay.... what a dream monologue for a 15-year-old girl. This brilliant piece by ARIANNA ROSE has me wondering, WHAT THE HECK DID HE MEAN?

  • Debra A. Cole: Cardinal Visitation by Donald E. Baker
    “

    Visitations from birds and insects are often associated with loved ones who have passed, and Donald E. Baker has given us another sign to watch for... poop. This touching moment between siblings gives hope for those still lost in hate and judgement.

  • Debra A. Cole: IF YOU SAY SO by F.J. Hartland
    “

    Retirement can be a blessing or a curse. Nils and Cara are still trying to figure out what retirement means to them. When Ryan comes home for dinner, the tension is clear and dad's new "hobby" is not sitting well with mom. F.J. Hartland has created some hilarious moments between a couple who needs to find what activity they can share heading into their golden years. Delightful. Three actors will have a ball bringing these colorful characters to life on stage.

  • Debra A. Cole: Low Class Boner Pills by Christopher Soucy
    “

    PERFECT! CHRISTOPHER SOUCY has created a short that will have audiences gasping for air after laughing so hard. Sharp dialogue - strong characters - ridiculously perfect scenario. Maybe there are good writing jobs out there for playwrights... you know... in direct marketing.

  • Debra A. Cole: If You Give a Ghost a Cookie by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    “

    Sweet. Witty. Lovely.
    JACQUELYN Floyd-Priskorn has given us a poignant glimpse into a world where rules try to keep residents safe, neighbors are just a knock away, and freshly baked cookies will always bring people together. This made me smile.

    Chosen family matters. DANA HALL reminds us of this. Chosen family can give us the love, trust, and nurturing we need to be our true selves. That is the case with Aaron as he struggles with remembering his past and finding peace in his present and future. BEAUTIFUL.
