Pirates!

Nora has always been a free spirit -- albeit one with control issues. And so it's not surprising that while Nora loves to write plays herself (whose scripts she is adamant that those around her adhere to), she generally prefers improv to the more tradition theater experience. But since we had conflicts with all but one of Ms. Shannon's summer camps and her friend Hazel was doing the Atlas Theater camp (and the story involved buccaneers), Nora agreed to go outside her comfort zone and join the cast of Pirates!

The script was top secret and we weren't even allowed to know what Nora's friend Hazel role since it would be a spoiler (though we did learn that Nora was "Barry Tony Edwards" and that [he] had some hygiene issues, as did her friend Sadie or "Ten Fingers Orlando" who spent the two weeks of rehearsal smelling her armpits -- she's very method). Despite the absence of hints, Mom Mom, Grandpa Fawcett, Allen and I found the story was easier to follow than some of Nora's other performances (though I think it could have used at least one random robot). Enjoy!
