  • Nora Louise Syran: CREAK by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    “

    Excellent. Playing at first upon our expectations and then exceeding them. Poignant. (Oct 6, 2024)

    Fantastic world builder Jacqueline Floyd-Priskorn does it again. Love the juxtaposition of the ordinary meet-the-parents barbeque and the olfactory! Brava.

  • Nora Louise Syran: How About Them Dodgers by Philip Middleton Williams
    “

    A great title, three well-drawn characters and an unfortunately too close to home situation in a foreseeable Floridian future unless plays like this get produced. And soon.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Space Laser, In Space! by Jillian Blevins

    More relevant today than ever with more climate change weather disasters being blamed on a Jewish space laser... A gut punch of a short play. (Oct 4, 2024)

  • Nora Louise Syran: BANSHEE by Adam Richter
    “

    I love that Richter has created something that feels ancient and new all at the same time. Irish folklore, inherited memories...banshees...a recipe for a super tale which doesn't disappoint.

    What starts out as a funny sci-fi situational comedy with a believable timeframe and fully realized characters, synthetic and organic, steadily moves out of this world dark. Bravo.

    Ah, this explains everything...well, nearly everything. Love this line: "People see this face and think, 'not creepy' and I’m always like, 'Yeah? Hold my wine cooler!' " (Sept 24, 2024)

  • Nora Louise Syran: Sensories by Sam Heyman
    “

    We've all had those moments where a smell or taste transports us to a moment in time we've perhaps forgotten but lies hidden deep in our subconscious. Well, this short play will transport you for sure; the intrigue behind the piece feels very much like that grasping your mind does when searching for the memory your taste buds or olfactory system remembers, but you just. can't. put your finger on. Plenty of scope for development in this one. Nice. (Sept 23, 2024 - Caught the Theatrical Shenanigan's production)

  • Nora Louise Syran: The Absurdity of It All by Christopher Soucy
    “

    A Waiting for Godot for the 21st century. At times funny and disturbingly dark as Ranzo pontificates and is unwillingly deified in "an allegory of modern wealth distribution"? a "metaphor about consumerism a damning inditement of the sugar industry’s manipulation of global diet?" or - oh, there's much here for audiences to consider as they sit waiting for a post show drink (which they'll need) and time to sit and consider the consequences of doing "nothing" or seeming to be doing nothing. Bravo!
