    Wow. I feel this so hard. What a great piece of theatre. Thank you Sharifa Yasmin for putting this in words. Beautiful, heartfelt work. A monologue that is a whole play and a whole story and a whole triumph. Thank you. (I don't know Grey's Anatomy, but I get it anyway.)

    Love Lately is a beautiful exploration of vulnerability full of the moment to moment work 2 actors would love to get to do. Fascinating characters. There is real depth and nuance here. Very well written.

    A twist a minute! If you're looking for a fabulous fairy tale reinvented for texting teens, this is it! And a great bit of dramaturgy too if you're looking for how to do the twist! It's fun, funny, dark, twisted and worth every minute! A winner in any festival.
  • Can You Hear Me Now?
    24 Feb. 2023
    Hilarity ensues! I enjoyed this silly short, and I'm sure audiences will be in stitches to see grown men playing telephone this way and inventing the smartphone while they're at it. A wonderful piece for any festival.
  • FRIENDS WITH GUNS
    21 Feb. 2023
    Great skill. Friends with Guns is so illuminating. The discomfort that unfolds is so masterfully crafted. A play I'd love to see produced. I am in awe. It is the honesty that does it for me. A rich and authentic experience.
  • Manic: A Ten Minute Play
    21 Feb. 2023
    A very funny short play about the roles we play and how we could be main characters but for all of our socially ingrained feelings of flawed-ness and critical judgments. I found the characters to be totally relatable! Wonderful roles for women and a nonbinary afab actor.
  • Come Again
    6 Feb. 2023
    This show has a tremendous engine so that I could not stop reading! Funny and the characters are fantastic, with a twist I did not ever see coming. Come Again will have you in stitches and break your heart.
  • Touch
    4 Feb. 2023
    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!
  • 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!
  • The Replacement
    31 Jan. 2023
    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!
