  • Nora Louise Syran: How About Them Dodgers

    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!

    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

    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.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Arti Doll

    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.

  • Nora Louise Syran: The Ho-Hum Possession of Daniel Prillaman

    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: The Cat in the Box

    Sweet! Morey Norkin's cat-ankerous kitty will conquer this box and your heart. (Sept 23, 2024)

  • Nora Louise Syran: Sensories

    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

    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!

  • Nora Louise Syran: Seeking Nietzsche (Full-length play)

    The motifs of words, letters, writing, creation and musical composition are woven throughout this piece which moves fluidly through time to explore whether this "character in his own plot" was "a hero or a monster." Eppich-Harris creates such pathos with the recurring scenes punctuating his helplessness as he sits "catatonic" in the hands of these two women and the stability of his legacy is literally carried away from him. Favorite line: "Oblivion would be better than being misunderstood."

  • Nora Louise Syran: It's Really Very Simple

    A fun romp through the imagination of Jack Levine as his Alter Ego considers every genre imaginable, but with an horse's ass and lots of monkeying around. Love the ending.
