Red Speedo
Direction, Scenic, and Sound Design
“The production was seamless.” — Lincoln Journal Star “The set, which included the lane of a swimming pool, was precise in every detail, and the sound and lighting were flawless.” — Lincoln Journal Star “Red Speedo set a high standard and makes one optimistic about future Norcross productions at the Haymarket Theatre.” — Lincoln Journal Star
John & Jen
“Director Nathan Norcross constructs a poignant evening of theatre that demands reflection on life, loss, and change.” — KC Stage Magazine “The script demands much and Norcross accommodates seemingly easily. He weaves together different times, places and ages of characters in literally a closet of a theatre.” — KC Stage Magazine “The strength of this production rests on Norcross’ deliberate, yet artistic, touch. He doesn’t hammer the audience with theme but instead suggests, leaves subtle cues and clues for the audience to follow.” — KC Stage Magazine
Pippin
“Director Nathan Norcross and his cast members bring an infectious enthusiasm to the proceedings, helping to overcome some of the show’s inherent flaws.” — Sun Publications “Overall, the show was entertaining with a quick pace and catchy numbers. The energy of the cast is refreshing!” — KC Stage Magazine “I applaud his efforts and look forward to attending his shows in the future.” — Sun Publications
Over the Tavern
“Director Nathan Norcross skillfully brings out the best in his appealing cast. Child actors can often seem mannered or excessively cute. Not so here. All of the actors give honest, natural performances and demonstrate comic timing that belies their years.” — Sun Publications
Beauty & the Beast
“Cast knocks Beauty and the Beast out of park!” — Sun Publications “Director Nathan Norcross and choreographer Deanna Doyle inject the show with plenty of energy.” — Sun Publications
My Favorite Year
Direction and Scenic Design
“Kudos for an excellent scenic design that was simple yet provided opportunity for brisk pacing, angular interesting staging, ease of movement, and a wonderful sense of forward motion. An excellent utilitarian set.” — Blue Star Adjudication “The stage pictures were effective and the students seemed to have a great sense of storytelling.” — Blue Star Adjudication “The way this story was told through pictures and use of stage alone was powerful enough to stir this theatre-goer to notice some fine art shining through the dusty script.” — Blue Star Adjudication
