  • Nora Louise Syran: Quentin Tarantino's PG-13 Crime Movie

    Oh my G-word! This play will have lovers and haters of Disney and Tarantino laughing their B-word off. I especially loved the "method actor" cameo who somehow manages to slip past the censors as do the language and allusions of Disney's very own paycheck writer! Clever. Bravo Mr. Busser (Nov 4, 2024)

  • Nora Louise Syran: Sleep Talker

    It's not every day you read something that makes your skin crawl and your belly ache with laughter all at the same time. Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn weaves magic into much of her work and this play is no exception, but it will surprise you, how she manages to "let it loose"- that's for certain! Sleep well! And put those cell phones away! Don't you know that blue light is bad for you!? (Oct 20, 2024)

  • Nora Louise Syran: Destiny is a Careless Waiter

    Hilarious piece of situational comedy for four actors. A super satisfying ending, great moments for fun, physical humor and the dialogue just zips along. Love the title. Brava, playwright! (Oct 29, 2024)

  • Nora Louise Syran: There is No Bird

    A tightly woven glimpse of three very real characters of the American West and the very real struggle it was to reach "California" and all it promised. Loved Sal's instinctive, genuine care for Oliver. The piece stands on its own, but the audience will want to know more. Brava! (Oct 29, 2024)

  • Nora Louise Syran: NOT Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

    Love it. Poor presenter... these dwarves certainly need a creative outlet for their pent up Predator predilections! Thankfully, Hollywood is calling! Brava playwright. Great fun. (Oct 29, 2024)

  • Nora Louise Syran: Hocking Murray

    Do we ever know if we've the 'real thing' in our lives? "Sort of makes you think, doesn't it?" It most certainly does. Dark, funny, easy to stage. Bravo! (Oct 29, 2024)

  • Nora Louise Syran: Night At The Wax Museum

    Love the premise which Sam Heyman sets up and delivers. The staging will be great fun for a designing team and the audience will be left...in the dark. Spooky! (Oct 28, 2024)

  • Nora Louise Syran: The Winter Wolf

    I was privileged to hear a reading of this short (and funny!?) folk horror play recently, just in time for spooky season. Love the hotel horror trope and how Jacqueline Floyd-Priskorn weaves it into something completely her own, including her deft touches of magic and humor. Brava!

  • Nora Louise Syran: The Broken Window School Edition

    I had the good fortune to see a production of this play recently and was delighted to see a dramatic piece crafted specifically for teenage actors (primarily girls)--characters who are relatable, likeable and unlikeable, all caught up in a unique ghost story which is compelling and moving. It's also funny just where it needs to be and will elicit squeals of delight and giggles from the audience--in my case a group of girls--in the dénouement. Brava! (Oct 26, 2024)

  • Nora Louise Syran: A Little Lamb

    Life glimpsed through a key-hole. Like Degas, Soltero-Brown is very much focused on the dynamics between men and women even when the focus seems to be on the female. He presents a private conversation without clear context in which both are suffering and not fully connecting. There's a film-noir aspect in its depression, femme fatale, cynical male hero. But is it not the two working through an episode together? Read it for yourself.
