Happy Holidays from Nora’s Playhouse!

Happy Holidays from Nora’s Playhouse!

We have lots of exciting news to share as we bring 2011 to a close.

This past year has been one of growth and development and we are happy to announce two new members of the Nora’s team: Jenn Haltman and Nora DeVeau-Rosen. Jenn is joining us as the Associate Artistic Director and Nora as an Artistic Associate. While both have been involved with past Nora’s Playhouse activities, they are both excited to have a more hands-on role and help contribute to the future of the company.

We are so pleased to announce that we will be producing Yasmine Rana’s play The Fallen as our inaugural production in July 2012! Hopefully, you have seen one of our two previous readings and know how excited we must be to be able to create a fully realized production. Keep an eye out for future emails with more info as we continue to prepare for the New York premiere of this astonishing play.

Additionally, we are in the midst of reviewing submissions for upcoming 2012 readings. Please see our Submissions page for more details on how to submit.

In the spirit of giving this holiday season, please also visit our Get Involved page for instructions on how to donate. We truly appreciate your support as we move forward with our exciting endeavors next year.

Have a wonderful and safe holiday season and we look forward to being in touch with all of you soon!

Sincerely,

The Nora’s Playhouse Team
