  • Debra A. Cole: When the Chaos Started

    What a painful yet beautiful remembrance from a child who is now a man. A man whose life was forever changed because of gun violence. Parents who have missed so much because of another man's choices. Audiences will never hear the BOOM of the fireworks the same way again. TRAGIC.

  • Debra A. Cole: This IS the Play

    There are so many angles from which to view this innovative short play. The audience who will feel uneasy about the format. The actor who is outraged at the destruction of theatre. The woman who is tired of what has been and ready to explore what could be. What a lovely piece to evoke thoughts and feelings. I see this at the beginning of a festival.

  • Debra A. Cole: Mel, Clara, and Al in: The Black Hole

    Oh, the deniers. This ridiculous moment between three humans is just the way the world would end if it really was about to happen, AND I do believe a jukebox musical would be the last performance piece we would all see... hear.

  • Debra A. Cole: I Forgot To Title This Play

    Cursed be the playwright who gives his/her/their actors only questions as text... and leaves so much undone. Is it META? Does it work? Will audiences get it? Why am I only asking questions?

  • Debra A. Cole: Hellbound Helen

    Chilling and and light designers dream project. SOUCY has created a world of small town folklore that comes to horrifying life in this haunting short play. Audiences will jump if this is done well. I would love to see what a team envisions for this spooky piece.

  • Debra A. Cole: 5 Johns

    Oh, this is naughty and delicious. Imagine a Victorian prostitute who may or may not have found a way to end the Ripper... one way or another. The language is perfect. The banter - sublime. Audiences would love this playful short play by CHRISTOPHER SOUCY!

  • Debra A. Cole: Time Between

    What a sweet way to imagine the next stage....stages. For me, this works on all levels. What a beautiful way to see life, death, and what's in between.

  • Debra A. Cole: The Mother's Consternation

    What a beautiful modern retelling of an old story. This mother's love is precious, even when the small town judgement has deemed her as a fraud due to jealousy. RACHEL is a testament to her name.

  • Debra A. Cole: Sainthood Revoked

    Poor Saint Christopher... I mean... Christopher. A name is given, and sometimes, a name can be taken away. What a wonderful monologue about identity.

  • Debra A. Cole: Does It Bring You Joy? (a one minute play)

    ANY way NORA LOUISE SYRAN writes this play, it is heartwarming, relatable, and delightful. Having read the longer version now this one, it all works beautifully under the skilled hands of NORA. JUST LOVELY.
