Norton Templer has been struck by lightning twice, gaining fame as New Jersey’s “weather-provoking” Lawn Furniture Salesman. But the real storm is at home, where his wife grows cold and his daughter is terrified to have him at her wedding.

Storm on Storm

  • Jessica Feder-Birnbaum: Storm on Storm

    STORM ON STORM draws brilliant parallels between the weather and our lives. Our main characters, NORMAN and CHICKY bicker like a time worn married couple, who've had their share of hard knocks. I hung tight until I read to the end, grateful to see these two find their way home. STORM ON STORM is recommended for all ages and would be great in an evening of plays dedicated to love, relationships and commitment.

    Gary Garrison's play is a great example of playwriting. Conflict from page on3. The drama escalates with Chicky's reading of each letter. Of course, Gary won awards and had productions.

    A unique premise leading to a deeper story. Norton is lucky to have this woman and the story is well told and makes us empathetic to them both. The dialogue is wonderful and there is anticipation as we see the tale unfold. This would be terrific on stage.
