NOW THAT SHE’S GONE is a play that explores Ellen Snortland’s often hilarious, irreverent and sometimes torturous relationship with her Norwegian-American mother. NOW THAT SHE’S GONE has been described as a Lily Tomlin / Garrison Keillor hybrid: passionate, poignant and funny in turns. A memoir piece with Eleanor Roosevelt, sex, drugs and lutefisk, the play and performance has received rave reviews and standing ovations in California, New York, and Washington, D.C.

Nominated for a 2009 Pulitzer Prize in Drama, NOW THAT SHE’S GONE was first produced by EMP Theatricals, LLC, at the 2008 NY International Fringe Festival
