  • Debra A. Cole: Celebrating Fifth Place by Christopher Sullivan
    “

    All playwrights need a reminder that being "rejected" is cause for celebration, because they actually SUBMITTED something. That alone is a reason to party... or at least smile and be proud of themselves. The Neil and Sequoia series truly has my heart. Thank you, CHRISTOPHER SULLIVAN.

    Powerful. LEE R. LAWING takes audiences of a light hearted journey, until the origin story illuminates so much more. We all need a reminder that tomorrow will be okay. We will be okay. I know a country right now that could benefit from this piece.
