  • Morey Norkin: VALERIE: A COSPLAY MONOLOGUE

    In this powerful monologue, cosplayer Valerie issues a clarion call that goes well beyond the imagined convention attendees. It is a call to all girls and women to stand together and fight back. And to all boys and men to grow up. I imagine the call and response between Valerie and the audience would be an overwhelming moment. Terrific!

  • Morey Norkin: Dead Brother, Will You Walk Through the Fire With Me?

    The title alone tells you this will be a tough read. The story is tragic, hopeful, raw, and deeply human. The grief being explored is palpable. Ultimately, how does one cope? Rise up. Unhinge. Write a beautiful play.

  • Morey Norkin: Cue

    The only “impossible” I know is not laughing all the way through this hysterical short from Kate Danley. A missed cue by a totally clueless community theatre actor leads to some wild improvisation. The scenario is truly an actor’s nightmare but what a delight for audiences.

  • Morey Norkin: BOOTS

    I try to put myself in the unseen Dr. Gary’s position to figure out how to counsel Billie as he faces relationship issues with Minky, a sock monkey, who is having an affair with a corgi. And I have to laugh. And you will too throughout this zany, yet relatable story. The visual aspect combined with Rachael Carne’s sure fire wit make this a pure delight.

  • Morey Norkin: Pithole

    An exhilaratingly fast-paced, yet cautionary tale of the rise and fall of Pithole, PA. Matthew Allen Craig’s rapid fire narrative mirrors the speed with which greedy oil barons siphoned off natural resources and left the town high and dry. This piece could be presented simply as a reader’s theater or with the added physicality of a full production. However it is staged, the pace is sure to blow audiences away.

  • Morey Norkin: Hell Toupée

    I couldn’t resist the title, and just as I hoped, John Busser provides one classic joke after another! Making a bargain with the devil has never been funnier. I would take my hat off to John Busser, but then my own follicular challenge might make me a target for ze Devil! A wonderful opportunity for literally over the top performances!

  • Morey Norkin: Just An Old-Fashioned Love Song

    Philip Middleton Williams has given us a gift with these three charming pieces of vintage furniture. The property of a beloved family, their fate to be determined by an estate sale. The characterizations are unique and a pure joy. The Banjo Clock and Grand Piano always at odds, and the aptly named Love Seat always the peace maker. Williams, responding to a prompt, expertly combined nostalgia and whimsy. He found the fun and snap! The job’s a game!
