  • 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!

    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.

    The familiar turns fantastically spooky! And just when you think you know where it's going, Bray takes us in a wild new direction. "Oh the places you'll go" indeed! Check out the audio version on GATHER BY THE GHOSTLIGHT

    A nurse stationed on a remote tropical island infected by stir-craziness writes a letter home about boredom, betting, beating waves and bikinis. Lovely naturalistic imagery: tactile, auditory, visual... A good god damn morning coming of age story at the end of the world! A super monologue brought to life by Miranda Jonte on Back Porch Theatre https://fb.watch/mErbdt5Qxu/
