  • Morey Norkin: Would You Like Help With That? *A Zoom Play*

    This is a tender and moving story of an aging parent and their conflicted adult son. The soothing, non-judgmental voice of reason, encouragement, and compassion in the form of a virtual assistant, is such a nice touch. “Would You Like Help With That?” is written as a Zoom play, and it is perfect for that format. I’m sure a theater with the technical know how and a creative director could also make this a compelling piece for the stage!

  • Maggie Gallant: Would You Like Help With That? *A Zoom Play*

    Absolutely loved this clever and touching piece. The line 'Those old files are inaccessible' brought a lump to my throat. Working in a memory care environment I've had those conversations with people many times over and used very similar analogies. Floyd-Priskorn touches on so much within a few pages - the isolation wrought by Covid, family guilt, memory fragments. The turns and revelations are made with such a delicate and skilled hand. Wonderful.

  • Rachel Feeny-Williams: Would You Like Help With That? *A Zoom Play*

    What started out as a whimsical and a amusing anecdote about an elderly person trying to get to grips with technology quickly tugs on your heart strings as it explores the characters regrets, doubts and dreams in addition to their relationship with each other. Jacquelyn really has put everything into this piece and it is truly beautiful.

  • Ryan Kaminski: Would You Like Help With That? *A Zoom Play*

    This was such a creative piece. What I originally thought was going to be a comedy about an older person trying to figure out a piece of technology turned into so much more. Really touching and filled with heart, this is a great short play that will tug at the audience's heartstrings. Well done!

  • Adam Richter: Would You Like Help With That? *A Zoom Play*

    This poignant and touching play illustrates perfectly the hell that it is to be an Alzheimer's patient and the hell of being an Alzheimer's patient's grown child. Jacquelyn Floy-Priskorn does a great job setting this play in a virtual environment, though it could easily be staged in front of a live audience if those days ever return. Great job!

  • Debbie Lamedman: Would You Like Help With That? *A Zoom Play*

    A familiar story told in a completely unique and creative way. Floyd-Priskorn makes the audience work a little bit for the payoff here, but it is totally worth it. Relatable for anyone who has had to deal with an aging parent in this age of ever-changing technology. This is a terrific and strong strong piece for Zoom audiences!

  • John Busser: Would You Like Help With That? *A Zoom Play*

    Talk about a roller coaster ride! Jacquie Floyd had me going in the beginning. I thought this would be just another terrific comedy from her. But then a funny thing happened (ironically enough). Some real heart and soul came into the picture and the piece took on new meaning. These characters became real in a way I wasn't expecting. I was moved by Mel and Chip's dilemma. Beautiful stuff. And the ending brought a huge smile to my face.

    On a side note, I can't help but place Jacquie herself in the role of Annie.That's the voice I hear.
