    There are those people in the world who become accustomed to the daily routine and ins and outs of living and what would any of us do if presented with such news as Jordan is presented with. The world itself makes it hard to believe in a higher power but what joy it would be if the miracle of one child could move us all to become better people to do good not for our own gain, but just because it’s the right thing to do. This play is devilishly funny as hell and that’s the gospel truth.

    ANDELA is an extraordinarily funny, fun and touching story! Colorful characters inhabit a world where the power of love (in all its forms) and belief (again - in all its forms) bring us to a happy conclusion. Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn has crafted an emotionally satisfying tale of an angel come to announce the second coming. The way that the angel revels in their corporeal humanness brings both heartwarming laughs and plain old silliness. Cleverly told with some wonderful dialogue, actor and audiences alike will love this play.

    Well, somewhere, Gabriel must be saying, "That ain't the way I did it!" I was really fascinated by the possibility of the Scott/Dr. Krissi rekindling, and how the two marriages interplayed. Such wonderful variances among the different personalities. Of course, Andela is something else. Jacquie really did a great job creating a group of interesting characters. The description of Jordan's cold symptoms were classic.
