    I do love a good community-meta-theatre comedy. Great repetition, fun sound effects and opportunities for physical humor. Actors and audience will have a ball.

  • Nora Louise Syran: At Twilight In Watsonville - A Monologue

    Lovely snapshots of a small town-- full of life, variety and dreams. Pure poetry. I could see this recited as a monologue but also performed by actors as well. Lots of possibilities here.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Second Book Syndrome

    Super! A paranoid, deadline-dreading novelist faces some real life problems and learns about himself through his characters. Same old same old fictional characters come to life story? No way. This meta-meta-dystopian-ish-in-and-outside-a-writer's head play for four actors was a great ride from start to finish. I loved the brief moments of "past tense reflective" yet so immediate narration as it works well on stage. Bravo, playwright! It's certainly relatable AND marketable ;)

    I agree a stage crew would be a great addition, changing the setting as they speak! adding an extra layer of chaos to an already cramped situation. Love the clinical interview of very personal details. Fun!

  • Nora Louise Syran: Cassie Strickland Is Not Under the Bed

    Fantastic. A play that plays on imaginary childhood and very real, adult fears. I was hooked from beginning to end. Bravo, playwright.

    Some fun silliness in the run-up to spooky season! Thanks Cole, now I've the song stuck in my head.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Falloween

    I wanted to read this as I'm not a lover of Halloween but thanks to this piece, I understand the appreciation of the lead up to the holiday a bit better. It's the journey, the approach to the day that's the fun thing. Loved the imagery in this piece. And so many fun lines for an actor to deliver! "Later turkey mashed potato days..." Thanks to Jonte, I can get behind the sentiment of this piece: like any good holiday, the idea is to bring people together, make the world a better place. In her own way, she's done it.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Adventurers Anonymous

    I love the idea of monologues based on character backstories in D&D, but don't worry, you don't need to be into fantasy adventure games to get this piece. You're in good hands with Aly Kantor. I also love a song or two thrown in for good measure. Brava, playwright! I enjoyed the online Eastline Theatre production but this play will work produced anywhere!

  • Nora Louise Syran: Hot Blood Sundae

    What do allusions to Equus, questions about the myth of the female orgasm and howling at the moon have to do with Sundaes? Read this and you'll know. Your appetite will be sated, for awhile anyway. A darkly comic two hander for young women in sync with each other and most definitely with their audiences.

    Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend is a remarkable playwright. Her voice is distinct. Her world building precise, deft. Her characters so real, lovable, likable in all their quirkiness. The dialogue in this piece is spot on as is the humor. Just lovely.
