Confronting someone who abuses their power is so off-putting. In Not in my Patch, Jan just wants a walk in the park. Unfortunately, we don’t always get what we want. If you know what I mean. Congrats, Lou Jones.

Wow! That was unexpected and frightening! Deb Cole knows how to build the suspense in Flowers tor Charlotte. This play takes a very realistic story and brings in a powerful twist - but I don’t want to spoil it. So you’ll have to read it yourself or better yet, produce it!

Congratulations, Alles, as you ventured into another culture, giving us a glimpse of the joy of a wedding. You can feel the tempos in this as Jake tries to dance and the heart takes over.

Oh, my, Deb Cole, I am now 'woke' to the idea of 'Bollywood'. This makes more sense to me after watching the dream of love between your characters - the ideal of lifelong romance and India! It is so over the top fun! Thanks for this delightful short. I love the feel of it - the tempo and style! Kudos!

Christopher Soucy, in SKIN DEEP, has written a carnal twist for Beauty and the Beast. What goes on beyond closed doors, stays beyond closed doors - until now! This funny take will give a jolt to any evening of one acts. Well done!

The versatile Deb Cole has brought us to the comical nuptials of Beauty and the Beast. Will beauty walk down that aisle? Not if her father has his way. Cole’s humor at the human condition (Beasts excluded) is a wondrous delight! What fun for the actors!!

This bone chilling sensual monologue, Dorian Gray’s Picture, manages the specific nightmare of the trade of beautiful appearance for its hidden price at the same time as universally question all the nightmarish trades in the world. For me, Adam Richter has possibly nailed the seeds of today’s national coup! Well done!!!

Not being beautiful when our society places such a high value on beauty is something most teens deal with when our stomach's are too big until we grow taller or when a disappearing chin is finally graced with a beard! And many aren't accepted beauties as they grow older, too. To accept yourself as you are is not always an easy feat. But when you're known for the truth of the person you are inside and are liked? Then beauty is all around. SIGHT UNSEEN IS beautiful.

Anj Marie Riffel has written a mother's lament regarding how she looks as she ages - as compared to her beautiful daughter. It is a tough subject for many. Although I don't fully get it (my daughter is adopted) I still connect to the changes we go through in life. This is a lovely monologue that captures our insecurities, and self-mocking. Most especially, Riffel has captured the most beautiful part of her daughter: her personality.

TIPPING is filled with conflict. Pain. Humor. Blevins takes these two opposing characters and then turns the tables on us. Actors could make a feast out of these complex roles leaving us more than satisfied. So well done!
