Announcements Nora Salon Salon South Upcoming Events

Nora’s Salon South: “Back Porch Play” is January 15th!

After a bit of a hiatus, Nora’s Playhouse’s Salon South readings are BACK and we can’t wait to see all of y’all!

Our next gathering of Nora’s Salon South in Montgomery, Alabama will be January 15th! We hope you’ll join us for a glass of wine, friendly conversation, and informal reading of Back Porch Play by Adrian Lee Bush.

It appears to be sunset in a suburban neighborhood. We see a covered, open porch on a clapboard house with several empty rocking chairs on it. Ceiling fans are turning overhead.

Nora’s Salon South: Back Porch Play
by Adrian Lee Bush

Thursday, January 15th at 7pm
at The NewSouth Bookstore (105 S Court Street)
in Downtown Montgomery, AL

Maribelle Johnston is on her death bed and her four children have been called to her bedside to say their goodbyes. Will they all come as asked? Will they run out of time to say goodbye? And how will the urgency and their new life circumstances dredge up long-hidden family secrets?

Playwright Adrian Lee Bush is currently obtaining her MFA in Playwriting at Hollins University Playwright’s Lab. She has penned and staged nine full-length shows in Alabama, most of them plays with music. Adrian is also a director, dramaturg, performer, diploma-carrying intimacy choreographer, and certified actor combatant. She earned her BFA in Theatre Studies from Niagara University and spent eight thrilling years performing in Los Angeles, where she co-founded a nonprofit theatre company, Above the Curve, and performed with the Satin Dollz. Adrian is a proud member of SAG-AFTRA and the Dramatists Guild.

Cloverdale Playhouse, in collaboration with Nora’s Playhouse, presents

A Doll’s House

by Henrik Ibsen
a new version by Frank McGuinness
directed by Caroline Reddick Lawson

February 8 – 18, 2018

in Montgomery, AL at The Elizabeth Crump Theatre, Cloverdale Playhouse

Nora, vibrant housewife and mother of three, appears to enjoy living the life of a pampered, indulged child. Nonetheless, she suffers from a crippling dependency on her husband. Nora’s acceptance of the status quo is put under a microscope and the illusions behind her marriage are exposed. Henrik Ibsen’s classic work examines fundamental inequalities surrounding gender roles, power, independence and money. In a time in our society where women still fight for equality and a voice, this classic work illuminates that as women and as humans, our choices are rarely easy and often come at great cost, and makes us examine which choices are worth it.
