Nora Fiffer has made a career of engaging audiences through her work as a writer, director, producer, and actor in theatre and cinema. Firelight Theatre Workshop, which she co-founded in Peterborough NH in 2017 and for which she continues to serve as co-artistic director, is known for immersive productions in which the audience is often amid the action. The staging quite literally makes room for the audience.
Fiffer’s debut feature film, “Another Happy Day,” starring Lauren Lapkus and featuring Carrie Coon, premiered at Vail Film Festival in 2023 and was an official selection of the Santa Barbara International and Beverly Hills Film Festivals. The film screened in select cities and was rleased in the fall of 2024 on Apple TV and Prime Video.
In her talk, Fiffer will share her process of creating work for stage or screen as well as how to consider, welcome, and trust an audience.
