    What a fabulously fun short piece - full of humor and pain. IAN DONLEY gives a raw look into the world of anonymity and the complications that come with it.

    I have so many questions, but isn't that the joy of a fun, quirky, short piece by John Busser? 10 minutes inside of his brain...that's all I need... 10 minutes. Delightful.

    I had the pleasure of reading for one role in this short play at our Sunday playwright's group. What a fun piece for actresses. I can imagine high school performers elbowing each other to be a part of this!

    Why am I not surprised that the road to Hell is a karaoke bar? What a FABULOUS approach to a lyrical prompt. Characters TOPH is the perfect opposing characters to PETER as the truth settles in for what will now be eternity. WHAT A FUN IDEA!

    Hilarious! Everyone's got an agenda is this fast-paced, hilarious short play by JEAN CIAMPI. The physical comedy that THOR brings to the scene is truly princess. This would be great fun to produce.

  • Debra A. Cole: Don't Preach at My Funeral (Ten-Minute Version) by Marshall Logan Gibbs

    What a painful and, sadly, recognizable scenario for family families...

    MARSHALL LOGAN GIBBS has created a powerful world where past trauma is alive and well in a current day crisis. ZABBY is the kind of character an audience roots for as she attempts to cut through a lifetime of judgement and hate using truth and acceptance. The ending gives a hint a hope, and audience members can only hope it sticks.

  • Debra A. Cole: Dear Nate by Ali Keller

    I wouldn't go back to my early 20s for anything...

    ALI KELLER has written a short play that explore how complicated work friendship/hookups can be. I adore how KELLER has written both Charlie and Nate as complicated individuals - each with blame in this messy situation. Not your normal holiday play, but the holiday serves as a fabulous reason to send a "Dear Nate" letter... even if it's just on construction paper.

    I love Poe, and any playwright that plays with his concepts wins in my book! BRENT ALLES create a dramatic world of past digressions, current vulnerabilities, and future isolation. Haunting.
