  • Debra A. Cole: Made by Thumb

    HILARIOUS! If there were a prize for writing as many spoofs as possible in one short play, the prize would certainly go to the BRILLIANT SCOTT SICKLES!

    READERS:Give yourself a gift and stop whatever you are doing and READ this delightful play written by two thumbs. You day will be better for it.

  • Debra A. Cole: TIME LESS

    If time actual does run out, I'm not sure this is how I want to spend eternity...or whatever THIS is. Questions without answers. Moments without time. Endless nothing without magazines. ADAM RICHER has created a short play that will purposely confuse audiences as he does one of he characters. BRILLIANT.

  • Debra A. Cole: None Time

    This short play by RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS is simply lovely. NONE TIME is a true gift... both the play AND the actual thing itself. What a perfect ending to a 28 day run of new shows by RACHEL.

  • Debra A. Cole: MRS. FREDERICKSON: A MIDDLE-SCHOOL TEACHER MONOLOGUE

    As a retired teacher myself, this monologue hits home. The fact that so many knowledgeable and seasoned teachers are under attack from all fronts is a true disgrace. ASHER WYNDHAM deftly finds Mrs. Frederickson's voice and artfully uses it to its full potential. Stand tall, Mrs. Frederickson, we need you still in the game.

  • Debra A. Cole: Blue Light Bathhouse

    What a stunning painting. What a stunning relationship. What a stunning short play to honor both. LEE R. LAWING exposes the concerns of society and family when it comes to secrets that in their minds... are best kept secret. Audience members will ache for KNUT and the fight he has to endure in order to keep his truth and his memories.

  • Debra A. Cole: Relaxation Is Hard Work

    Dopamine hits are real. Sadly, not everyone finds the right sources of that surge of electricity. Relaxation takes commitment, and maybe it will begin... just right after the doom scrolling into the void.

  • Debra A. Cole: Debut

    A touching minute between brother and sister that reminds us that acceptance and respect is a precious gift. MELODY as he first time her true self. What more can any artist want than to be seen?

  • Debra A. Cole: When the Chaos Started

    What a painful yet beautiful remembrance from a child who is now a man. A man whose life was forever changed because of gun violence. Parents who have missed so much because of another man's choices. Audiences will never hear the BOOM of the fireworks the same way again. TRAGIC.

  • Debra A. Cole: This IS the Play

    There are so many angles from which to view this innovative short play. The audience who will feel uneasy about the format. The actor who is outraged at the destruction of theatre. The woman who is tired of what has been and ready to explore what could be. What a lovely piece to evoke thoughts and feelings. I see this at the beginning of a festival.

  • Debra A. Cole: Mel, Clara, and Al in: The Black Hole

    Oh, the deniers. This ridiculous moment between three humans is just the way the world would end if it really was about to happen, AND I do believe a jukebox musical would be the last performance piece we would all see... hear.
