    Barn Wood and Blue Roses seems to be a high-stakes adventure wrapped in blue roses, secret scrolls and dragon wings. But it’s heart is friendship and the lengths young people will go to open their hearts to others even when it hurts. Jacquelyn Priskorn doesn’t shy away from the big ideas - mythic in scope. Instead she meets them head on infusing them with humor, humanity, and moments of welcome grace. A poignant, smartly written play for the youth canon.
