    OLD SPORTS by BRIAN CERN is a love letter to friendship, aging, and being yourself, no matter what age. There are so few pieces that give seasoned actors changes to be real and raw, and this piece if a gift to that community. Thank you, Brian.

    ERIN MOUGHON writes that this monologue's time period is, "Any time where it is hard to be a woman" and boy, will that resonate with audiences.THE WITCH'S SIDE is a powerful reminder of the plight of women, the pain of women, and the duty of women to help one another whenever possible.

  • Debra A. Cole: Fatale by Brian Cern
    “

    "When you live in a world where no one is looking out for you, you learn to look after yourself."

    BRIAN CERN has written a hilarious spoof using the noir genre in his short play FATALE. The characters were vivid, the storyline classic, and the humor - perfectly crafted.

    “

    I could see every second of this delightful and thoughtful short play on a stage. CHRISTOPHER SOUCY has given two seasoned actors a chance to be real, be human, and be seen. IT BELONGS IN A MUSUEM is fantastic.

  • Debra A. Cole: OBIT POLICY (MONOLOGUE) by Adam Richter
    “

    It's not every day that a playwright creates a charming and meaningful monologue for an actor in her 80s. ADAM RICHTER has done it... and done it beautifully. Audience will cheer at the final line. Simply perfect.

    “

    RYAN VAUGHAN understands how to write for youth. He understands their voice. He understands their lives. He understands their pain. SOME FRIEND is an excellent monologue to any youth looking for something real and raw.

    "Sibling rivalry, broken noses, speech therapy, impossible crushes, voice changes. Raising a family is a full-time job."

    Oh, I how adored revisiting these two classic tv characters in their later years. This spoof by ANJ MARIE RIFFEL is WONDERFUL! It's a new day in the Brady household. After all, when it's time to change, you've got to rearrange.
