    Jacquelyn Priskorn's play "Cupid" is a fresh take on some pretty deep topics like love, identity, and what society thinks about it all. It's set in a zoo of all places, with Cupid himself locked up and treated like just another exhibit. The conversations between Amy, Wes, and Cupid are loaded with snark and deeper meanings, making you think twice about how we see love and treat each other. The play’s dark vibe makes you question norms and challenges our thoughts about love. It's definitely a cool, thought-provoking piece that mixes humor with serious questions.

    Wow. This play's transition from rom-com lightness to something much darker and complex is pretty harrowing, but also thoroughly riveting. The titular Cupid is a figure of pathos and his fate is a powerful commentary on the enduring power of bigotry. It is commentary that has sad resonance unto this day.

    My kind of play! It's light and fun... and then it isn't. By the time you realize it's not just trying to tickle your funny bone, the knife is already in. Good stuff!
