    “ What would “Professor Princess” do? That’s the question at the heart of this smart and funny piece as three actors, each a very distinct character, vie for the title role based on a popular book series. The titles of the books are so clever, and the dynamics between characters as they size up each other and put on their best Professor Princess persona is priceless. Add the inspired conclusion, and you have another Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn must read/must see. ”

    “ As a person who didn’t read the series, this piece just like a hilarious young child’s comedy, though as I dove deeper into the story, I came to realize the true meaning and purpose of this play. PRISKORN answers it so beautifully - almost with poise and precision like a true princess, though gives the audience something to truly walk away with.

    “What does it mean for an actor to audition for a role, while still having the courage to fight for what they believe in?”

    A truly empowering marvel for three actors to sink their teeth into! ”

    “ This play is timely on several different levels. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has fallen in love with a book series only to learn that I don't support the author's politics. Does that negate the lessons that transformed my worldview at a formative age?

    In this piece, three actors are tasked with embodying a beloved literary character - who reflects an impossible feminine ideal. The audition setting adds a unique sense of competition and stakes. Who could possibly live up to "Professor Princess?"

    The play features well-drawn, flawed, funny characters rendered beautifully! It's relevant, real, and fabulous! ”
