Backyard Stonehenge, Reclaimed

    “ “Backyard Stonehenge, Reclaimed” is a comedic gem that turns a suburban spat over stolen stones into a delightful dance of dialogue. Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn’s pen paints Mrs. Ferria with the spunk of a sitcom star, while Jude provides the perfect pinch of practicality. A garden-variety quarrel escalates into an early morning escapade of elderly empowerment. It’s a lighthearted look at lawn law, and order that proves even the pettiest squabbles can pave the path to punchlines. ”

    “ I don't know how a third entry in the Backyard Stonehenge saga would work, but I hope we get it. Again, Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn infuses her work with oodles of heart, and reminds us not to despair over the hardships life gives us, but to appreciate the people who love us enough to help us through them. ”

    “ I love Floyd-Priskorn's Faye Ferria. She is an iron lady, just like her last name suggests. And I say good for her. Good for her not to let her neighbors get away with stealing, good for her to say that retirement homes are places "where old people go to be forgotten," good for her to stand up for herself.

    "Backyard Stonehenge, Reclaimed" may be a litmus test, showing who you are depending on who you side with more. There's nice depth in this 10-minute play because of Floyd-Priskorn's skill. I'd love to see it staged in repertory with "Backyard Stonehenge." ”
