    This play is full of atmosphere, longing and the strength of family bonds. Well done.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Savannah Ghost Tour: The Musical by Christopher Soucy
    “

    Who doesn't love a good ghost story!? This musical draws you in. Fun dialogue, characters and ghost stories galore. Loved the atmosphere of Savannah throughout and could see this as a walking tour play or staged in the haunted theatre of Savannah itself...or even a film. The possibilities are endless.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Elephant Dance by Christopher Soucy
    “

    A lovely monologue that sways like an elephant's "dance" --from the joyful innocence of childhood (and the choppy diction of a child) to facing the harsh realities of life, to the realization that we spend our lives deluding ourselves, devoid of real freedom. Well done.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Captain Flash & Major Bang (working title) by Miranda Jonté
    “

    A sweet collection of short scenes by a writer who not only knows dogs but people, too. Jonte will have audiences nibbling out of her loving hand. Set in a park, there's some fun action with a ball I'd love to see staged too.

    I howled! For any teacher who has neglected to give their charges (and their parents) clear costume instructions or not had the time to actually teach what they're meant to produce in public, I felt for the teacher in this lovely short piece by Rachel Feeny-Williams. But then I felt for every student too. That's the sign of a super piece. Great fun!

  • Nora Louise Syran: THE BALLAD OF HELLELIL AND HILDEBRAND by Monica Cross
    “

    Inspired by one of Ireland's most treasured paintings, Cross weaves her own version of this old Scandinavian/Germanic tale. I couldn't help but sing it and it works beautifully-- all the way down to the lonely voice of the tormented Hellelil. Will she call out Hildebrand's name?

    You’ll never look at a bust of Socrates or Plato the same way again. I loved the serious student characterization and the deus ex machina moment. A fun piece!
