    “ A hilarious short play about personified penguins! Audiences will have a lot of fun with this piece, especially its midpoint "twist"! The tuxedo costumes are a great touch! ”

    “ Heartwarming, bone-tickling, penguinesque! - POLAR OPPOSITES in just a few pages covers a lot of monogamous territory that rings so true for more than one species. I love how the tuxedo strategy would allow the audience to visualize Man and Woman as penguins until they become penguins. Also love so many of the marital jokes (anchovies and all). Priskorn’s profound little play would be a must-see at any festival. ”

    “ Lights up and smile! Not since I was a child appearing in a 5-minute adaptation of Mr. Popper’s Penguins have I come across such a delightful penguin play! The visual aspect, the clever dialogue, and the relatability of the characters make this a festival standout. Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn does it again! ”
