  • Debra A. Cole: DRESS BLUES by Donald Loftus
    “

    I had the pleasure of seeing this virtually at the 12th Annual Pend Oreille Playhouse One Act Festival tonight. This delightful piece had the audience laughing and feeling big feelings while enjoying the sharp dialogue, tender moments, and wonderful characterizations. A lovely piece for any 10-minute festival.

  • Debra A. Cole: Come in for Coffee? by Christopher Plumridge
    “

    A wonderful comedy of REALLY BIG ERRORS, this first date is the side B to the real show - the coffee. This would be lovely to see staged.

  • Debra A. Cole: Blind (a monologue) by Lee R. Lawing
    “

    What a beautiful, painful, and horrific monologue. How can beautiful love be so filled with rage and hate? In the end, the speaker shows such grace in a time of such pain. My heart truly hurts for his situation. Love shouldn't be so vicious.

    I am a sucker for a fun and delightful short play that highlights seasoned actors and actresses of a certain age. BUSY BODIES is a wonderful piece about love, loss, hope, and new starts. This would be a wonderful piece for any short play festival.

    Cleaning out after a death can bring a variety of emotions: nostalgia, grief, and even humor. All are found in this lovely short piece by BRUCE KARP. Audiences will connect with the very high highs and the very low lows.

    Although I am a woman over 50 who lets her wrinkles run free and her gray hair flourish, I do love a good piece about aging NOT SO gracefully. Hollywood is a tough place for aging actresses, and this one finds out that she may have gone too far this time to avoid looking her age.

    This short piece 100% PURE JOY! Whether a social lubricant, a developed palette, or personal temptress, alcohol always makes for an interesting gathering, and this year's Humanity conference is no exception.

    With family in Kentucky, I know this guy. Whether moving or tasting, bourbon is never a bad way to make a living. Audiences will love this playful piece of regional flavor.
