  • Debra A. Cole: What's In Store? by Gareth Ekin
    “

    HILARIOUS! We had the please of reading this at our weekly playwriting group. GARETH EKIN brings delightful humor, similar to the two old men in the Muppets' box seats, to life in this short piece. I would LOVE to see this staged.

  • Debra A. Cole: What's My Line? by Alice Josephs
    “

    We had the pleasure of reading this at our weekly Sunday ZOOM gathering. Alice skillfully takes a wonderful "game show" of the past and brings real life painful moments to life. Even without knowing the history of the piece, audiences will connect with the all-too human shortcomings of Louis. I so appreciate Alice's dedication to history and humanity.

    Fans of Mark Twain will delight in this reunion in Hannibal, Missouri. We had the pleasure of reading this wonderful short play in our Sunday playwriting ZOOM group. There are layers of relationships uncovered that will make audiences think about the nature of friendships. DELIGHTFUL regional dialect and WONDERFUL opportunities for actors.

    Brilliant. Any actor would find this role DIVINE! I truly love the way Chris Plumridge’s brain works.

    EVERYONE should have an emotional support chicken. This short 5-minute play is simple, clean, and lovely.

  • Debra A. Cole: Second Book Syndrome by Sam Heyman
    “

    I cannot say enough how much I adore SECOND BOOK SYNDROME by SAM HEYMAN.
    What an absolutely brilliant look at the life of an author and his characters. I was hooked from the very first scene and wanted these characters to find their way to the second book. I truly hope a passionate theatre picks this up and brings it to life... again?

    A magical moment in time… we all have them. This bench holds the love and memories that change lives. Such an absolutely beautiful monologue.

  • Debra A. Cole: Refracted Light by Dana Hall
    “

    I had the pleasure of hearing this moving piece read at a recent playwriting ZOOM. DANA HALL has created the perfect balance of humor and tension as a family deals with change, history, and the unknown future. So many parents of graduating students will relate to REFRACTED LIGHT, no matter what changes their families have experienced. DANA truly understands the art of dialogue - just wonderful.
