  • Debra A. Cole: RELAPSE (MONOLOGUE)

    This is a powerful and tragic monologue for any seasoned actors in their 50s. So much pain. So much humor used to cover sadness. So much still to process. Wisdom comes with age, but so does regret. BRAVO, ADAM RICHTER. This is a killer piece.

  • Debra A. Cole: Musicals to My Ears

    EVERY Broadway musical lover will ADORE this infectious short play... or should I say... musical by RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS. She takes all my personal favorite shows and treats us to clever mashup with a very knowledgeable game show contestant. My biggest question is... How do I sign up to BE the next contestant? READ THIS AND SMILE.

  • Debra A. Cole: Before You Go, a monologue

    I was lucky to see this performed on Back Porch Theatre. Years of undiscussed pain and trauma begin to move toward repair and healing in this tender and powerful monologue.

  • Debra A. Cole: ONE

    THANK YOU, Black Font! This play with it's quick back and forth lines is communication at its simplest form, and like Black Font, every human wants more. The humor CHRISTOPHER PLUMRIDGE brings to this short dialogue is priceless. The pacing - just right.

  • Debra A. Cole: MACHINE LEARNING

    As a playwright, I sure hope that ADAM RICHTER's prediction on where AI CHAT will go in the future, based on past examples, is true.

    To scare us even more, here's the first paragraph of a review I asked CHAT GPT to write for this play:

    "The play "Machine Learning" is a thought-provoking exploration of the impact of technology on education. Set in a university setting, the play raises important questions about the ethical and moral implications of using chat bots to write academic papers."

    So....there's that.

  • Debra A. Cole: Be Your Own Boss

    Finally... a MLM scheme for words... not just any words... words that kill... or at least aid in the process. This sadly hilarious satirical short comedy is full of sharp witted and fast-paced dialogue, laugh out loud moments, and apathy... so much apathy. FANTASTIC!

  • Debra A. Cole: HARPSICH0RD, a gaming monologue

    A hard reality hits one male gamer when the world he played within, and the people he played with, look different from another angle. The proverbial, "walk a mile in my shoes" narrative comes to life in this thoughtful and all too real monologue by SAM HEYMAN.

  • Debra A. Cole: Promises, Promises

    My mom always said, "Two can be friends.... three cannot." That thought kept racing through may head while experiencing JAXSON MACKLING's sweet and complicated short play about friendship, past traumas, and new beginnings. Youth is a confusing time... situations like these make it more confusing.

  • Debra A. Cole: Blood Red State (a monologue)

    Truly a nightmare. One woman's penance for a choice that was not easy... not easy at all. LEE R. LAWING has given a voice to the internal fears and external realities that face many women in the USA. No one should have to perform this... everyone should have to perform this.

RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS has turned a dark light on the future of the arts with her keen eye on the need for humans… no matter what.
