    “ Follow Goldie and friends on a magical tour of Detroit orchestrated by the prolific and creative Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn. A playful trio and assortment of tour guides accompanied by your favorite fairytale characters take us Into the D. And if you don’t know Detroit, this magical, theatre-based tour will convince you that a real visit to Motown is a must. Very clever. Highly entertaining. Into the D is great. ”

    “ I’ve never been to Detroit but I’m suddenly craving Lafayette coney dogs! Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn has combined several favorite fairytales, the Wiz, and some Little Shop of Horrors to take us on a whirlwind tour of the motor city. With great humor (the narrators’ names!) and obvious affection for this great city, Floyd-Priskorn leaves us all feeling imbued with the spirit of Detroit! ”
