How delightful! I feel like I’ve just taken a wonderful trip to France! Nora Louise Syran beautifully delivers picture postcard scenes from Paris and the countryside all tied together by the well known carol. The scenes offer a mixture of humor, wistfulness, and warmth. Plus some outstanding monologues for anyone looking for audition material. What more could you ask for?

This is too much fun: A series of shorts woven together around and inspired by the 12 things listed in the song, "The 12 Days of Christmas." It's so theatrical, with themes and characters who resurface, and I love how it gives the actors opportunities to play multiple parts - and the audience opportunities to watch the actors tackle a variety of roles. There are some beautiful monologues in here which can stand alone in their own right as well. What a wonderful piece to stage during the holidays!

Theaters be assured, no animal costumes (or actual animals) are required! All the livestock and personnel from the traditional "Twelve Days" carol are present, but mostly metaphorically. "Three French Hens" are three ladies conversing at a Parisian sidewalk café, for example. The audience will love how each charming scene plays with their expectations and how, in some cases, characters from one relate to characters in another. With its oh-so-French sensibilities, it will provide a welcome change to the usual theatrical holiday fare.
