  • Nora Louise Syran: FAMILY PHOTOS

    Lovely. An adroitly crafted short play that will pull on heartstrings for certain. Brava.

  • Nora Louise Syran: They have become the forest

    A new myth grafted onto two ancient ones, reimagined with action, music, self defense tutorials against horny nature spirits and a goat guy...thing.

    Like Athena springing fully formed from Zeus' head, these two Naiads -- who spend far too much time worrying what Artemis thinks-- spring fully formed from the mind of Aly Kantor: nerdy, sensitive, passionate, smart and (a fav word of AK) messy. Perfectly Kantoresque.

    Love the tree imagery; it adds a literal denouement. Brava!

  • Nora Louise Syran: When To?

    Clever. What if we all had the "opportunity to see what might have been, and [...] appreciate what actually is"? And in learning to appreciate our present, actually see how our positive actions can change the world even for the better. You'll fall in love with these characters.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Anna and the Wig Monster

    So funny, quirky and full of delightful anachronistic wordplay. You both had me at the sibling rivalry with brother Lewis Carol and dreams of being an accountant. It all works. How it all fits together is the fun part. An entertaining original, goofy and educational play for all ages -- even people 38 and older!

  • Nora Louise Syran: Whale Hater: A New Musical

    😂 From the glorious romping mind of Christopher Soucy, a Whale of a Tale in ten minutes. Unsympathetic males and a whale of an adventure - Bravo!

  • Nora Louise Syran: Tracks (or, The People Who Live Here)

    Dapper Dan might be used to "sweet and sour disappointment" but audiences won't be: there are definitely sweet moments and sour, caustic social commentary, in this gritty, realistic and yet magical story. A truly American tale on so many levels. Bravo.

  • Nora Louise Syran: The Weight of Air

    Stunning. I fell in love with these two female characters and the simple poetry present in the staging and dialogue. Thank you, Dana Hall, "for telling [us] something that matters."

  • Nora Louise Syran: Erstwhile or The Birth of an Old Soul

    A mystically original short play for two female characters who are trapped in a "quicksand" of sorts, but who help each other "mov[e] forward." Engaging work.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Mummy Brown [10-Minutes]

    Love it! I've always wanted to weave this macabre detail into a play somehow, and (darn it) now I don't have to. A quick moving, beautifully written undoing of a layer of the art world best now buried.

  • Nora Louise Syran: One If By Mystery

    A great choice to celebrate the upcoming Semiquincentennial. Fun, factual and full of feisty females, double entendres and, of course, murder!
