JACQUELYN FLOYD-PRISKORN turns a moment when you try to come to terms with being alone, without your recently dearly departed spouse of thirty-six years, into a sentimental, heartwarming conversation with a wonderful ending. I found “37 Origami Bees” to be a nice read, and look forward to seeing it performed in The Orange Players “Acting Up!”

This beautiful play reminds us of the lasting light our loved ones bring to our lives, even after they're gone. The "37 Origami Bees" metaphor is perfectly woven in, without feeling forced or too sudden. The characters are clear, the symbolism perfectly understandable, and the pacing right on time. Anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one will be touched by this story. Bravo.

This short play captures grief in a highly theatrical but still very much grounded way. The use of origami as a motif throughout the piece was perfectly done, and the final reveal is the emotional high point. An absolutely beautiful and moving play that audiences would love. Bravo, Jacquelyn!
