  • Morey Norkin: Finding Mickey Mantle by Wendy Vogel
    “

    I love everything about this play! The structure that seamlessly moves between past and present. The fully drawn characters and their motivations that result in believable conflict. And that it’s just a great story perfectly told. I have a feeling we’re going to be hearing a lot about this play in the not too distant future. Outstanding!

  • Morey Norkin: Stockholm Or... by Christopher Plumridge
    “

    The setting is like a scene from The Great Escape, but the soldier is torn between leaving his captor or making the final push toward freedom. Is this due to a psychological effect or is there something more? Audiences will love debating that as well as which direction this soldier ultimately chooses. Another first-rate monologue from Christopher Plumridge.

    Frightening! Chilling! I want to know and yet I don’t want to know what happens next. This one will get your pulse racing in an instant. Superb!

    A delightful and positive look at senior life. Albert and Amy are quite a lively couple. They are lucky to have each other and we are lucky to share this brief moment with them. Great roles for senior actors.

    Brotherly love, family history, and holiday traditions all wrapped up tenderly in one minute. Simply beautiful.

  • Morey Norkin: James Walters and the Case of the Miramar Murders by Brian Cern
    “

    A terrific noir spoof oozing with atmosphere and great characters. There’s quite a meta element as well. Brian Cern’s dialogue hits all the right notes. I especially enjoyed the voiceovers and the snark from the more mature actress. Well done!

  • Morey Norkin: Steve of Absence (A lighter companion piece to This Person DID Exist) by John Busser

    John Busser maintains the intrigue but adds a ton of laughs (Girl Scouts of the Big Ten!) in this retelling of his creepy THIS PERSON DID EXIST. And another real website is referenced, but I’m kind of afraid to check it out. These two plays can each stand alone or be presented in tandem. If the latter, you can spend hours debating the proper order. Great fun!

    Very cool and creepy. I had to confirm that this concept is based on an actual website. So if you don’t see this recommendation, it means I shouldn’t have clicked. But if you do see this, stop now and go read the play. And check out that creepy website, too!

    Oh, Rachel Feeny-Williams you devil you! What a fun piece. What are you supposed to do if your life is no fun and then your afterlife in Heaven is also lacking in good times? Hell if I know! What I do know is that RFW has taken your well-worn angel -devil confrontation and given it a fresh pair of wings. Enjoy!

    I can’t imagine trying to buy a house now after reading this horror story. What with developers and others with deep pockets scooping up the best properties to flip for profit and the remaining fixer uppers requiring so much work, what are first-time buyers to do? I guess if you want something bad enough, you find way. And that’s the ultimate charm of this short piece.
