  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Can You Hear Me Now?

    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.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: FRIENDS WITH GUNS

    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.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Manic: A Ten Minute Play

    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.

  • Emma Goldman-Sherman: Come Again

    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.

  • 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.
