SUMMARY:The Nora Salon on ZOOM: Cowboys Are Waiting For Me in Montana
DESCRIPTION:We can’t yet gather in person for any theatre\, so we are turning our postponed salon reading of Leah Kornfield Friedman’s Cowboys Are Waiting For Me In Montana (originally scheduled for 3/20) into a virtual gathering happening Wednesday\, June 24th! We hope you will join us online for an informal reading and some friendly conversation on ZOOM!\n\n*** \nIt’s the 4th of July. It is also the 45th wedding anniversary of Bride and Groom. When Groom comes home to reveal that he has been fired\, Bride panics.

Witness the “flotsam and jetsam” of Bride and Groom’s lives in Leah Kornfeld Friedman’s Beckett-esque one act\, Cowboys Are Waiting For Me in Montana. \n*** \nThe Nora Salon:\nCowboys Are Waiting For Me In Montana \nWednesday\, June 24th at 7pm\nonline on ZOOM \nPlease email reservations@norasplayhouse.org to add your name to the guest list and receive the Zoom link for this online reading.

SUMMARY:The Nora Salon: "Waiting"
DESCRIPTION:Our next gathering of The Nora Salon is Friday\, March 29th in NoMad\, Manhattan! We hope you’ll join us for a glass of wine\, friendly conversation\, and an informal reading of Donna Kaz’s full-length play with music: Waiting. \n\n***\n\nA parody of Broadway and the New York City restaurant business\, Waiting begins as Lucy\, a young actress from a small Midwestern town\, steps off the bus in Times Square ready to pursue her dream of being an actress. She immediately lands her first job on Broadway–waiting on tables in a restaurant. All of the waiters at The Great White Café are actors\, too\, each one desperate to land a job in the theatre\, yet unconsciously addicted to the performative aspects of waiting on tables. Who needs a part in a play when you have a job at which you “perform” with energy and speed combined with sincerity and pathos? To make matters worse\, the Café’s manager\, Howard\, is a sexist bully who despises artists and does everything he can to make sure his team never escape into a world where actors earn respect. Waiting is set during a not-so-long-ago-era when women had to buck up to being harassed or lose their jobs and asks the question: Can actors who are New York City waiters ever play any other part? \n\n***\n\n\nSpace is extremely limited.

SUMMARY:The Nora Salon: "The Great Forgotten"
DESCRIPTION:Our next gathering of The Nora Salon is Friday\, September 21. We hope you’ll join us for a glass of wine\, friendly conversation\, and an informal reading of an excerpt from Kacie and Karen Devaney’s two-act play: “The Great Forgotten.” \nIn 1917\, Elizabeth is one of the first registered nurses to offer her services in France when the United States finally enters World War I. Her sister Celia\, an artist at heart\, never shies away from adventure\, so she signs up as a volunteer to aide in the Great War\, tagging along with Elizabeth for what she imagines will be an exciting experience. Together with their fellow nurses\, the sisters are faced with the gruesome realities of trench warfare as they struggle to save the thousands of wounded soldiers who pass through base hospital 21. Through friendship\, tears\, and laughter\, these unsung heroes perform extraordinary acts of courage\, even when it means risking their own lives. \nWith the World War I centennial just around the corner on November 11th\, we hope you will join us for the premiere reading of this new\, completely revised version of The Great Forgotten by mother-daughter playwrighting team Kacie and Karen Devaney. \nPlease email us at reservations@norasplayhouse.org to add your name to the guest list.
