  • Debra A. Cole: Park Benches by Darrin Friedman
    “

    DARRIN FRIEDMAN has created a powerful short piece about loss, love, letting go, and grace. Grief is an odd thing, and a mysterious stranger comes at just the right moment for David. Lovely.

  • Debra A. Cole: I am the Center of My Universe by Nora Louise Syran
    “

    Beautiful. A lone woman, with her dog, considers the universe in its ever changing canvas.... "Monet understood that the same place is never the same place a moment later," and NORA LOUISE SYRAN understands this too. Moving forward is about being open to the opportunities that present themselves. Thank you, Nora.

  • Debra A. Cole: CONFESSIONS - Monologue by Tom Erb
    “

    Whether talking to a plant or a human partner, TOM ERB’s new monologue reminds us all to slow down and appreciate not just the ones who grow around us, but ourselves too. Lovely.

    I adore this. A nod to noir romance, a "what if" scenario, and a surprise ending - mood drives this delicious short play by CHRISTOPHER PLUMRIDGE!

  • Debra A. Cole: Terra Cotta, or What We Leave Behind by Aly Kantor
    “

    What a deeply poignant one minute of theatre. ALY KANTOR takes a moment, and asks everyone involved to reflect on a lifetime of memories with a single terra cotta mug. Just lovely.

  • Debra A. Cole: Glory Days by Robert J. LeBlanc
    “

    This piece took me back to a place and time when life was surprising. Music and humans included, ROBERT J. LEBLANC nailed it when we wrote, "What made women desirable, men desirable, wasn’t their perfect fake bodies. It was their mystique, their imperfect perfections." I felt for this D.J... this explorer. Thank you, Bob.

  • Debra A. Cole: Love Sucks by John Mabey
    “

    What a love story! JOHN MABEY has given audiences two passionate characters... one maybe a little more passionate than the other. MABEY offers a new and creative approach to an old subject manner, and audiences will feel the heat. What a fun show that NEEDS to be produced.

  • Debra A. Cole: My Girls by Rachel Feeny-Williams
    “

    Angela is a realist. She lives in a world that everyone judges, but few understand. This powerful MONO-DRAMA by RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS is a dream piece for a strong actress - colorful voice, genuine affection and a front row view to all the ugliest of the profession. Despite where her "girls" find themselves at the moment, they are in caring hands with Angela.
