Woven within the brittle fabric of a political family, Now or Later exposes the uncomfortable truths about politics, religion, bigotry, and freedom of expression.
"The play comes alive when Suzanne Ford appears as Jessica, John’s mom. Ms. Ford simply electrifies."
— Stage & Cinema
"Sublimely produced, directed and acted by a stunningly talented group. A gem not to be missed." — Stage Scene LA

~ Los Angeles Times
"Ford in particular creates
a stunning portrayal."
~ Orange County Register
"Suzanne Ford
as Polly Wyeth
dominates the stage
with her flippant, assertive
embodiment of their privileged
Republican life. Then, turning
on a dime, stops everyone
cold with her piercing declarations
of harsh reality."
~ Broadway World

She captivates in every stride."
~ Life in LA

As Frances in
Slasher!
by Allison Moore
directed by Lee Sankowich
with Brendan Bradley, Tim Cummings. Steffany Huckaby, Deb Knox and Joanna Strapp
Zephyr Theatre
Hollywood, California
"As the battle ax mother, Suzanne Ford hilariously
pops pills and wheels around the house in a scooter,
barking out vehement tirades. She and Cummings
shine in nonstop moments of wry fun."
~ Backstage
With the fabulous Joanna Strapp
Brilliantly volatile
Tim Cummings
gets his revenge
"I was really blown away by this show. It surprised me all the way through. I was laughing my head off, and then I was totally creeped out (the actors are insanely good, and the mother is a total riot). It's a really impressive production for such an intimate little space. The actors are the standout, though the blood tries its best to upstage them. Go see this. It's not your typical night out at the theater."
~ Random audience member
“Suzanne Ford shines as
the ever-acerbic heiress, Ginger,”
~ LA Times
“The ensemble crackles with witty,
sympathetic performances, especially
Suzanne Ford's graceful turn as
prickly rival Ginger.”

and gives her warmth, depth and strength.”

“Suzanne Ford’s warm and
witty Ginger faces the real world

Barry Pearl and Daniel Tatar
The Tale of the
Allergist's Wife
“A human hurricane, Suzanne Ford nicely blends intellect, sexiness and egotism.”
~ Orange County Register
“As the jet-setting Lee,
Ford wittily suggests
a globe-trotting, self-styled
Holly Golightly.”
~ Los Angeles Times
"Ford is perfect as
the gorgeous, cultured,
name-dropping world traveler
who knows everyone from
Kissinger to Warhol to Princess Di.
Her sly seduction of the long-
married and faithful couple
is a comic highpoint.
Who knew a Chinese dumpling
could double as an aphrodisiac?"
~ Backstage

Spinning a tale for Randee Heller, Sue Ozeran and Barry Pearl. What a cast!
