by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn

Dean and Carla have been best friends since high school. Today is Dean's 28th birthday and Carla decides to surprise him by gluing candles to the tops of his beer bottles and professing her love for him. Dean, however shows up, soaking wet and with the news that his stripper ex-girlfriend will be joining them for dinner. What's up with that?

    Funny, sweet, and delightfully messy, Birthday Beer serves up friendship, obliviousness, and long-simmering feelings with sparkling dialogue. Floyd-Priskorn’s characters are charmingly chaotic, and the whole play leaves you grinning (and rooting hard).

    This laugh out loud comedy will leave you with a smile! Dean and Carla spin around entirely in witty and delightful dialogue. Well done! A lovely piece of Theatre.

    Wow. Carla was certainly playing the long-game here. So much blindness. So much cluelessness. So much hope. This short play by JACQUELYN FLOYD-PRISKORN will leave audiences with a sweet smile on the faces. JUST CHARMING.
