  • Debra A. Cole: First Draft

    I had the pleasure of reading for Jenna-May, note the hyphenation, if our Sunday playwriting group. I adored the "breaking of the fourth wall" for a playwright. There is nothing better than stale and cookie-cutter characters who find their voices. RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS, note the hyphenation again, is a master of natural dialogue, biting humor, and entertaining audiences. A FABULOUS SHORT PLAY!

  • Debra A. Cole: Grandma's House

    The physical acting possibilities for Grandma in this piece are priceless. Add on creative lighting, and audiences will feel the tension. Perfect for a horror festival!

  • Debra A. Cole: OUTCASTS AND REBELS (a 10 minute play)

    I adore any play that shows that people over "a certain age" are fully formed humans with wants and desires. The juxtaposition between the two generations in OUTCASTS AND REBELS is priceless. MARJ O'NEILL-BUTLER has shared a beautiful relationship that feels natural and timely.

  • Debra A. Cole: Faith, Trust and...

    What a true gift it was to hear this read in our Sunday playwright’s group. Familiar characters are seen in all new light with this clever twist on Peter Pan. A costume designer and lighting specialist will have a field day with a production. Mystery and tension will keep audiences guessing until the tragic end.

  • Debra A. Cole: Conduct

    Looking for a short play that will have audiences arguing at the end of the night? CONDUCT is perfect. As we continue to learn through life, there are so many opportunities for growth. The character Viola is both a voice of possitve change as well as a cautionary tale. So many layers to this thought provoking piece.

  • Debra A. Cole: 15 Seconds

    Complicated, beautiful, senseless and tragic... this short play by BRUCE KARP powerfully speaks to love and loss.

  • Debra A. Cole: How Much Do You Love Me?

    The pace. The dialogue. The pair. This short two-hander is truly powerful and will have audiences on the edge of their seats. What will they choose? I choose ANYTHING written by the talented CHRISTOPHER SOUCY.

  • Debra A. Cole: The Little Christmas Tree

    Wow! What a powerful short play. DANA HALL builds tension beautifully in THE LITTLE CHRISTMAS TREE with well-drawn characters and little moments that become massive. Audiences will truly connect to what the ultimate pain can create.

  • Debra A. Cole: Burgers

    As a vegetarian myself for 30 odd years now, every part of this monologue rang true! The descriptive language and use of humor was a true delight. GEORGE SAPIO knows how to evoke real emotions from his characters and ultimately his audiences.

  • Debra A. Cole: Whack! (The Irresponsibility Play)

    Our literary heroes come to us when needed, and JAXSON MACKLING brings them beautifully to life is this lovely short play. Inspiration is a funny thing. Sometimes it just takes a little... whack!
