    Classic. And by classic, I mean cheddar, mozzarella, brie....you know.... not Stilton. Love the interplay between director and actor.

  • Debra A. Cole: Textbook Messages by Ross Tedford Kendall
    “

    Brilliant, fast-paced, and hilarious - this short piece would resonate with audience trying to balance and satisfy the entitled and unreasonable world around them. So many cool possibilities for staging this wonderful piece.

  • Debra A. Cole: Intrusive Thoughts and Me by Kyle Smith
    “

    So....it's not just me.... In one minute of dialogue, Smith beautifully captures what it's like to have one's brain constantly racing with weird, freaky, fun, playful, and quite possibly destructive thoughts. I would love to see this staged.

  • Debra A. Cole: Advanced Feature ( 10 min. ZOOM online play) by Anne Flanagan
    “

    HILARIOUS! Is it troubling that it felt like some of the early days on REAL meetings on ZOOM? Flanagan creates a brilliant 10-minute ZOOM play that any group of actors would LOVE to bring to life... or artificial life... or.... you get it. LOOK OUT! BRONTOSAURUS!

    A beautiful interaction between two young people in very different places in life. The dialogue was fluid and honest. It would be a wonderful addition to any one act festival.

  • Debra A. Cole: The Monster by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    “

    THIS was a true joy to read. What reading about a monster can't be a joy? Floyd-Priskorn had me laughing out loud while experiencing the back and forth between human and monster. This piece would delight audiences at any 10-minute festival. BRILLIANT.

  • Debra A. Cole: Tidy away my Soul by Rachel Feeny-Williams
    “

    With a Truly, Madly, Deeply sort of feel to it, Tidy Away My Soul has charm and perfect comic timing. Letting go is hard, and Ferny-Williams beautifully touches on the challenges of moving forward after the loss of a spouse. I would love to see this performed. Such wonderful opportunities for a cast to shine.

    “

    Absolutely precious... and PRECIOUS is a good thing when it comes to the interactions between a closeted writer and a clumsy drama girl. The dialogue flowed beautifully as two young human inch their way toward their dreams.

  • Debra A. Cole: Gun Story by Karen Saari
    “

    What a great intersection of gun violence and autism. The archaic, toxic, masculine father devices need to be gone. Saari does a beautiful job of offering that argument with humor, connection, and grace.

  • Debra A. Cole: POOPER: A PhD CANDIDATE MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham
    “

    I wish I could write that I have no idea what this is like... but alas...lactose intolerant... too much information? This monologue is too, but that is what makes it so real and funny. An actress would have field day with this witty piece.
