Live, Laugh, Lobotomize

    Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn has created an infinitely charming way to talk about depression. This play is fully of goofy characters that would immensely fun to play (and watch)! I can imagine this play with bare bones and a sparse set just as easily as I could imagine full blown FX makeup and a decked out set dressings. Regardless of how you play it, LIVE, LAUGH, LOBOTOMIZE has a powerful message for anyone who finds themselves trapped in the darkness.

    Oh, how I adore this quirky short piece by JACQUELYN FLOYD-PRISKORN. Olivia mysteriously finds herself in The Darkensss, a place she currently knows very well yet not at all. The use of humor and kind wisdom, from a very odd source, is the key to Olivia finding her way back to life. JUST THE RIGHT KIND OF WRONG.

    A sweet and touching story of demonic proportions. Jacquelyn's off beat sense of humor and memorable characters shine in this story where darkness is all too easy to give in to.
