Gloria Steinem says, "Ellen says I'm the 'grandmother' of this play, but I'm
not crazy enough to think that it was my planting of a seed when in fact it
is her enormous talent. She has a gift for being serious and funny, making
you laugh and understand at the same time. The first time I saw it, I
brought two friends who were visiting New York City from Kenya - a mother
and a daughter - to see it, and they loved it too; it's universal." |

Nora Dunn "Saturday Night Live" alum, says, "Ms. Snortland has written a show with great tenderness, surprise, and revelation. She delivers a poignant and completely original insight into the mother/daughter relationship that is deeply moving, and often profound." |

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 / Eve Ensler hybrid. passionate, poignant and funny in turns. A memoir piece with Eleanor Roosevelt, sex, drugs and lutefisk, the play and performance have received rave reviews and standing ovations in California, New York, and Washington, D.C.
