  • Debra A. Cole: Not On My Patch Script by Lou Jones
    “

    ABUSE OF POWER is in full swing in LOU JONES' short play NOT ON MY PORCH. I worry we'll see more and more of this during these dark times, and JONES has certainly tapped into the Zeitgeist.

  • Debra A. Cole: 37 Origami Bees by Philip Middleton Williams
    “

    HILARIOUS! As a retired teacher myself, I am well aware of way to supplement the meager income of teaching, and Fred has inspired me to explore even more options. 37 Origami Bees... that's a LOT of bees... Priceless, PHILIP MIDDLETON WILLIAMS... just priceless.

  • Debra A. Cole: Lincoln on Mars by Jarred Corona
    “

    This satirical farce, written by JARRED CORONA, suddenly feels very possible these days. CORONA hits all the notes audiences want in this dystopian soap opera we are experiencing. BONKERS.

  • Debra A. Cole: The Biggest and Best Student Council Meeting Ever by Brent Alles
    “

    THIS HIGH SCHOOL IS DOOMED... absolutely doomed. I wonder who will rise up and do something about this awful new Student Council president? Who will fight the injustice to the campus? Who will call out the corruption? Who will fight for those in the cafeteria that can't fight for themselves? BRETN ALLES gives young audiences a great deal to consider.

    Oh, Satire... you are a wicked, wicked friend.

  • Debra A. Cole: Puppet Spooky Season by Ryan Vaughan
    “

    This engaging youth play is my first adventure into modern puppet theatre, and if this wonderful piece written by RYAN VAUGHAN is any indication of where the genre is going... I'm impressed. Kids will love every moment of the humor, the music, and the spookiness! Just the right amount of spookiness. ADORABLE!

  • Debra A. Cole: MY WAY a 3 minute monologue by D. Lee Miller
    “

    We need more people like Jerry in this world. D. LEE MILLER has taken a very current topic and given it beautiful framing. This monologue is written for so much more than standing on a stage. A seasoned actor will give this stunning piece the life it deserves and will move audiences to action.

    What a powerful monologue CHRISTOPHER SOUCY has bought to life. I can see a weathered and battle-worn actor on stage or in an audition giving all he has to this thoughtful piece about braving and never giving up.

  • Debra A. Cole: Foothold For Love by Christopher Sullivan
    “

    Being brave is sometimes doing the really tough things when there is no other option, and sometimes, being brave is doing the tough thing when there is a much easier option of just turning back... or in this case... heading back down... or unsaying what was just said. My love for Neil and Sequoia continues to grow in this latest installment of their nature-filled love story.
