  • Debra A. Cole: DON'T MOVE by Michele Clarke
    “

    What an absolutely nightmare... for me... not as a short play... as a concept. The idea of not being able to move is a real fear of mine. MICHELE CLARKE knows how to build a scene. Wonderful.

  • Debra A. Cole: Emma the Final Girl by Brent Alles
    “

    I love that BRENT ALLES takes the trope of a vulnerable female victim and turns it upside down! A little bit if dark humor... a whole lot of revenge... I would absolutely hire Emma to be a dormitory resident advisor. I would sleep much at night knowing she was in charge. Is that wrong?????

  • Debra A. Cole: A BAD CONNECTION by Monica Cross
    “

    What a sweet and tragic look into our future... maybe our present. MONICA CROSS has created a world where some AI is both our aide and our enemy. Emotions are complicated, and a robot will never be able to understand their complexities... at least I hope they won't be able to... What a touching piece.

    Linda has EVERY RIGHT to be outraged with the new fine print at the Apple Pie competition! I'M WITH LINDA! (maybe not the knife... but her anger... yes) RACHEL nailed taking a required first line and creating real drama and real characters. ADORABLE!

    Just the right amount of sugary sweetness and a PERFECT short piece for the winter holiday season. RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS takes on the task of adding music to a play and creates a tender moment between two VERY opposite characters.

    What a fascinating world SAM HEYMAN has created in his short play GET IN THE FUCKING ROBOT. The Calm is ending, and Ed has real concern for his abilities and his duty to humanity. A true testament to friendship and duty.

    What a fabulously chilling short piece by BRENT ALLES. A deputy leads a writer head out into the cold of the northern Michigan wilderness, as he is in search of folklore and hauntings. Be careful what you wish for. Wonderful build up and resolution.

    Sad how many believe believe that breaking something is "the only way you can see the light inside." What a lovely piece. What lovely characters. What a lovely message.
