  • Kathleen Maule Holen: Party of Two

    What at first felt awkward turned contemplative as the mystery unfolded. The metaphore was a surprise. Countries have feelings too. The double entendre of the title is fantastic. This short play is timely and sends a clear message.

  • Kathleen Maule Holen: Beautiful Noises

    A beautiful and inspiring message for everyone experiencing the anguish of grief. Wonderful dialog delivers support and hope even when regrets seem overpowering. The beautiful noises come through loud and clear. I recommend it.

  • Kathleen Maule Holen: QUEASY

    Hilarious premise and for me, as a retired nurse, eyeopening. Nice touch having the patient call the HIPPA Regs,"Hippo". I loved all the characters the nurse took on hoping in my heart I never was one! I agree with John Busser that Jacquie would relish this play but my friend Irene Would give her a run for her money. Fantastic characters.

  • Kathleen Maule Holen: A Sure Bet or Marryin' a Librarian

    This classic melodrama with an impressive production history, covers all the bases with clever character names, corny humor and a plot where good triumphs in the end. Audience participation is elicited in every scene. The script encourages the cast to put their best slapstick forward.

  • Kathleen Maule Holen: Ghosts of Whitechapel: The Zoom play

    I watched the zoom performance of this fantastically crafted play and could only say to myself, "I wish I had written this!" It is a moving and thought provoking commentary on the hardships faced by women in the 19th and early 20th centuries that deepens our understanding and compassion for the victims of an infamous serial killer. Can you name him? Can you name even one of his victims?

  • Kathleen Maule Holen: The Controversial Rescue of Fatty the Pig

    I enjoyed this comical yet educational play. Who knew only female pigs hunt truffles? The set design is unique and contributes to the humor of the dialog. The play takes a circuitous route to an astonishing conclusion. A community theatre group would have a great time performing this comedy.

  • Kathleen Maule Holen: SHAKESPEARE'S WOMEN

    This comedy about a man willing to give up his ability to seduce women in order to get his hands on a missing manuscript has psychological overtones that are definitely food for thought. He is forced to choose between his prized possessions and his choice is ironic. Fans of Shakespeare will love it.

    A beautiful tribute to a beloved friend. I cried warm tears and yet I was comforted in my own grief by the wonderful message of the play.

  • Kathleen Maule Holen: Alexa the Liar

    I loved this sweet and laugh out loud funny script. Alexa's answers are hilarious. The play ends on a hopeful and yet mysterious note that makes us wonder about making connections in a tech heavy world. Very well written.

  • Kathleen Maule Holen: 50 STEPS TO THE BEACH

    A mysterious, thought provoking drama. Revenge is a dish served cold? Or is there forgiveness? One is left wanting to know what happens next and being haunted by what that might be.
