  • Nora Louise Syran: Pit by Daniel Prillaman

    Silence of the Lambs meets Samuel Beckett. Disturbing yet delightful. I especially appreciated the characterization of Glasses and the never ending cyclical nature of the dialogue. Bravo.

  • Nora Louise Syran: There Were No Homoerotic Undertones, But At Least There Was Cheese by Steven G. Martin

    Love it. Real love and friendship and cheese... some gentle humor and a few moments of emotional (and cheesy) bite. Wait, no wine pairing?

  • Nora Louise Syran: How Much Do You Love Me? by Christopher Soucy

    What goes through a bomber's head moments before dying? Out of love, Simon writes a letter to his parents explaining why they've done what they're going to do and in doing so comes to a very different understanding of the world. And love. Deceptively simple. Beautiful reading on Back Porch Theatre. Bravo playwright.

    Heyman speaks to the poet in me, in all of us. This monologue is metaphorically perfect. It hits all the right notes. Universal and pointed. Lovely work. Watch the reading online by Miranda Jonte on Back Porch Theatre: https://fb.watch/mXjHV2b1Xw/ If you're feeling stuck in life and need a helping hand you'll be glad you did. Reach out.

    A theatrical Marina Abramović-like piece of theatre. Lovely. I can see this working in so many spaces. "Beautiful".

    Let's all make a scene! Whisper, yell it, write, read it; open your heart. Lovely. Brava, playwright.

    Such fun and such a fright. "This is the way the world ends, this is the way the world ends, this is the way the world ends..." A bible lesson EVERYONE should read. Bravo, playwright!

  • Nora Louise Syran: The Challenge by Tony Vale

    A bonkers beachside bench comedy sketch bursting with chaos and fun. Plays on words that would make Oscar Wilde giggle and so will audiences. Bravo!

  • Nora Louise Syran: BENCHMARKS (10-minutes) by Glenn Alterman

    As a teenager I enjoyed the idea of the bus in the improv game NEVER coming. The scenes went on and on and I kept going up and trying it again and again and the game often went on, nowhere. Now, as an adult I appreciate the fact that the bus does indeed come and we have to get on it. This is a lovely short play. Concrete enough that it can be read literally, poetic enough-- with enough breathing room for actor and audience --that it can be read metaphorically. Love this.
