N.O.M.F.O.L. Director Kristina Lloyd Says

Dear Bill,
Thank you so much more than you know, and from the bottom of my heart, for being part of the amazing N.O.M.F.O.L. cast. Not only as an actor have you been amazing (you must continue to act!), but your musical contribution has been beyond what I could have hoped, and you have been instrumental in helping me to shape this piece. I am so grateful for all your input, research and laughs [ed. note: see http://elkwhistlebillneal.blogspot.com/2012/01/cherokee-booger-dance-by-eric-orr.html] in putting it all together.I hope we can take this farther, and hope to keep working together. You are so talented! Thank you. Wado!
Love,
Kristina

Jaisey Bates Comments on "NOT ONE MORE FOOT OF LAND!"

I LOVE THIS PLAY and this weekend is YOUR VERY LAST CHANCE to see "NOT ONE MORE FOOT OF LAND!" at the Secret Rose Theater in North Hollywood!

Friday & Saturday at 8 PM and Sunday at 2 PM. Tickets are $22, $17 for seniors, and $10 for stud...ents under 26. The reservations number is 818-782-4254. Tickets are also available via Goldstar.

If you don't believe me :o), here's just some of the AMAZING reviews:

"As for bringing the Trail of Tears to a stage play, Writer Art Shulman and Director Kristina Lloyd do so eloquently, with a balance of acting and dialogue by a cast that no longer appears to be acting. There is nothing to intellectualize here. It is honest, raw, and extremely emotional." – Corine Roberts, Theater in LA News

“… a high-energy epic and one of the most amazing historical theatrical productions I have seen in a long time. Anyone interested in Native American History will be engrossed by Art Shulman’s fascinating and well-researched play…” - Topanga Messenger

"Moving and powerful..." - Tolucan Times

"The cast itself is remarkable..." Linear Cycle Productions

"Kristina Lloyd’s direction is passionate and realistic..." Patch.com

"… you need to see it." - Curtain Call

"…a spectacle one can envision on a giant screen with surround sound, battle scenes to curl your hair and extras by the thousands." - WillCall Theatre.
