    Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn has written a beautiful, fanciful play about two friends, and how they deal with her illness. It's such a wonderful way that these characters create an alternate world of fantasy to help cope with the all too serious illness that is slowly and relentlessly strangling this young girl. Brava. What an amazing play. Poignant and thought provoking.

    JACQUELYN FLOYD-PRISKORN takes us on a wonderful journey in which we learn much and enjoy immensely a beautifully written play. “Barn Wood and Blue Roses” is a play with depth (dealing with cystic fibrosis) but with a flair of a brilliant way of presenting it. Bravo!

    There is so much to love about this clever play and the vivid characters in it. The fantasy framework is a wonderful vehicle to explore cystic fibrosis, drugs, and abuse - and it’s done in such a fun, engaging, witty, and heartfelt way that I have to admit I wanted more when I finished reading. I would literally sit through a three-hour version of this if that existed.
