  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Touch

    Touch is absolutely charming! With 4 roles for older actors, and lots of great material for them to play with, longing and loneliness are on comic display here for everyone to enjoy! Goodman provides us with a buffet of opportunities not just for laughs but for moving moments. A delightful relatable comedy for young and old alike with the opportunity for fabulous Floridian design flourishes!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: To Fetch a Pail of Water

    For years I have been troubled by the quality of the rhyme at the end of Jack and Jill. Someone needed to step up and revise it, and Norkin volunteered. Thank goodness he did, and not a moment too soon, because while I am still concerned about "after," this clears up so much of my confusion by making it all very funny!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Replacement

    Here is a brilliantly conceived idea that is worked with great finesse and humor! Norkin takes on the Holocaust deniers and white supremacists in a funny, punny, and satirical story that would be a hit at any festival! Wonderful work!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Siren

    I loved how this play uses spaces and silences to enhance its theatricality. The possibilities for connection, beauty and meaning arise fluidly and dramatically in this brilliant script. I highly recommend it.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Urashima Taro

    A beautiful Japanese folktale that Norkin adapts into a great short play! Norkin has a light hand as a writer and a director's vision, so it's easy to imagine it all onstage. I appreciate the heart in the piece. Well done.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: To My Dearest Wife Mary

    What a marvelous surprise! I fully enjoyed this piece. The family is so clear, and there is such a great tension in the letters. Plumridge has a great knack for thrilling his audience, and this is a great example of his skill.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Y & Z

    A thriller that can be as scary as your own mind allows! This radio drama is a mystery that really moves. As strange as it is fascinating.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Beyond Neverland (A Lost Children Story)

    Here is a touching tale of two adults who are vulnerable and lost in a kind of 4th floor Bardo with lives that are happening, and yet the characters exist along with so much missed or missing. Their realization of time passing and adulting happening and casseroles v. candy gives us plenty to chew on in this philosophical and bittersweet play.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: The Alchemist's Gambit

    I love the vague accents and the brandishing of the handsaw! This is a very silly ode to marriage which is the heart of the comic impulse. It will be hilarious to see performed!

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: War Bride

    A beautifully written, theatrical family drama. Every line rings true. The way we refuse to look at difficult truths, the way family ties trump love and outsiders, the strength of our upbringing/grooming makes it so hard to see and recognize what is happening. Great roles for women who are each strong and working hard to fight patriarchal power at its most intense. Huskinson ramps up the tensions to keep audiences on the edges of their seats to the very end!
