    “

    The words of Jane Austen, the songs from Jane Austen's songbook, and the finesse and gentle handle of NORA LOUISE SYRAN... Why wouldn't this be delightful? This graceful piece will introduce the magical world of Austen to countless audience members and those who already love her will feel nostalgic and proud of this adaptation. Just lovely.

    This short play by RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS is simply lovely. NONE TIME is a true gift... both the play AND the actual thing itself. What a perfect ending to a 28 day run of new shows by RACHEL.

  • Debra A. Cole: MRS. FREDERICKSON: A MIDDLE-SCHOOL TEACHER MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham
    “

    As a retired teacher myself, this monologue hits home. The fact that so many knowledgeable and seasoned teachers are under attack from all fronts is a true disgrace. ASHER WYNDHAM deftly finds Mrs. Frederickson's voice and artfully uses it to its full potential. Stand tall, Mrs. Frederickson, we need you still in the game.

  • Debra A. Cole: Relaxation Is Hard Work by Sam Heyman
    “

    Dopamine hits are real. Sadly, not everyone finds the right sources of that surge of electricity. Relaxation takes commitment, and maybe it will begin... just right after the doom scrolling into the void.

    A touching minute between brother and sister that reminds us that acceptance and respect is a precious gift. MELODY as he first time her true self. What more can any artist want than to be seen?
