  • Debra A. Cole: It's All in the Research by Lee R. Lawing
    “

    The age old question, can one still like and respect the art when the artist is clearly problematic? How about when he's a Hitler lover? LEE R. LAWING proposes a scenario that many will relate to. The give and take between the writer and his partner will open up many post-show conversations... maybe even about Cool Whip! BRAVO!

    What a rich and tragic two minutes. What is it about straight men that some cannot connect or talk honestly when another man shares something deep or powerful? This short piece truly made my stomach twinge with sadness and regret. SCOTT SICKLES - YOU NEVER DISAPPOINT!

    I love NYC bar stories, and this one was a LOVELY and graceful surprise. One character's life has stalled, and the other's life has changed for the better. Truly a wonderful piece about kindness and connections.

  • Debra A. Cole: Claire's Invisibility Monologue by Kim E. Ruyle
    “

    One can't help but feel Claire's pain after years of not being enough... not being male... Is her business success worth the price she paid growing up visible? A powerful piece for a seasoned actress.

  • Debra A. Cole: A Humble Path [a monologue] by Steven G. Martin

    Okay... I need a drink to relax now...

    This gripping and tension-filled short play will have audiences on the edge of their seats. There is truly nothing creepier than a man "in control of his emotions" as he holds various weapons before you... knowing he will use them. This horrifying piece is a wonderful look of how a killer is made.

    WOW! What a way to go...

    If you could choose your own death, short and over quickly or long and drawn-out, what would you choose? Chris's Evite to a party is NOT what he was expecting. Our choices, our actions, and treatment of others... everything counts in this delightful devilish short play by CINDY SANONE-BRAFF.

    A beautiful minute between brothers and growing men. So much love, support, pain, and loss can be felt in this simple act of kindness.

  • Debra A. Cole: Best Shot by Rachel Feeny-Williams

    I love plays that celebrate female empowerment, and RACHEL FEENY-WILLIAMS always delivers. This brother and sister rivalry will be familiar to audiences as they cheer Emily on through the football challenge. It's nice when young men make good decisions, and this friend group does not disappoint.

  • Debra A. Cole: The Incredible Holcomb by Mike Rice
    “

    This tension filled short play has layers and layers of history, regrets, and true concern. MIKE RICE has created a world where we it's coming, but we are still disturbed when it finally arrives.
