  • Debra A. Cole: Feeling Devilish

    How fabulous was it to hear this read at a recent weekly playwright's session. DON has such a wonderful and honest voice for his characters. Add to the scene a character that is both demon AND lawyer... and this short piece becomes truly priceless.

  • Debra A. Cole: Operation Protocols

    I adore this short play by RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS. After the recent pandemic, this piece will really resonate with audiences. Contagions, secrets, mystery, and questions - this short play will have audiences on the edge of their seats. BRAVO!

  • Debra A. Cole: Monstrous Villainy

    What happens when you give REX MCGREGOR a prompt that includes monsters, acting camp, and a possible film? MAGIC... PURE MAGIC! What pure joy it was to hear this read during a weekly playwriting group. The reveals is pure magic. WHAT FUN this will be to produce.

  • Debra A. Cole: A Bevin Boy's Progress

    What an absolute treat it was to hear A Bevin Boy's Progress read at a weekly playwright's group. ALICE JOSEPHS is a true master of bringing history to life by giving it meaningful voices and real human expression. This short piece is hungry for a staging that gives it the energy and creativity it deserves.

  • Debra A. Cole: The Damp, Dark Room Just Off the Parlor

    I had the honor of seeing this performed at the 2023 William Inge Theater Festival. JOHN ADAMS has written a period piece that includes other-worldly creatures, charming humor, and a new found love of self and others... what more does an audience need? THIS WOULD BE SO MUCH FUN TO PRODUCE!

  • Debra A. Cole: Slaughter

    I was honored to see this performed at the 2023 William Inge Theater Festival. SLAUGHTER challenges audiences in a way that is often uncomfortable but still relatable. IVAN FAUTE is a master of building tension as well as evasion with his characters. Audiences will leave discusses this haunting piece of theatre.

  • Debra A. Cole: FireMother

    I was honored to see this performed at the 2023 William Inge Theater Festival. ANDRA HUNTER has written a short play full of anguish, regret, and forward motion toward a new reality. What an amazing piece for a seasoned actress to bring to life. FireMother speaks to the mother in all of us who questions what would we do in in the same situation.

  • Debra A. Cole: Greetings From Sadsville

    I was honored to see this performed at the 2023 William Inge Theater Festival. GREETINGS FROM SADSVILLE is a powerful short play about friendship, shared pasts, and expectations being crushed. I went from laughing one minute to feeling the raw pain of regret the next. ZACH PEERCY masters the art of voice in this moving piece. BRAVO!

  • Debra A. Cole: Maria and Little Joey Have a Baby

    This short play, where a mob daughter finds herself on the run and in the sights of those who hunt her, will absolutely delight audiences. This new approach to a holiday play is pure genius.

  • Debra A. Cole: Personal Services - A Script In A Day

    How wonderful it was to hear this short piece by ALICE JOSEPHS in a Sunday playwright's Zoom group. The idea that art and artists can be melded together to created new artificial entities is not only frightening... but it's coming. Artists like Alice should never be melded... She is a true treasure.
