Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn tells a beautiful, heartbreaking story in Barn Wood and Blue Roses. Chelsea and Devon are young teens and best friends. Chelsea has cystic fibrosis, so Devon creates a fantasy world for them as a way to encourage her. But it seems Devon also needs an escape from the real world. Jacquie’s wit shines brightly throughout, especially as characters break from the storytelling. But it’s her humanity that sets this play apart. A one-act version is available, but the more time spent with these characters the better.
