    What a delight! A closed-minded scientist and his more open intern seek the ancient wisdom of the Shoebill Stork in this short, but only one appreciates it. I love the back and forths between the characters, and the ending is a satisfying surprise.

    Intern Nirmal is my favorite! The exchanges between Dr. Bill and Intern Nirmal are both amusing and insightful. We all know a Dr. Bill type! The clever dialogue and the quest for wisdom from a giant bird are packed with humor and laugh-out-loud moments. This story leaves us feeling wiser, more enlightened, and happier. The ending is wonderfully eerie, too. Produce this!

    Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn’s play, The Shoebill Stork, is intriguing, funny and fascinating. I had no idea where it was going, but totally enjoyed the ride. This play takes you to places you’ve probably never been before. And aside from being truly original- it’s quite enjoyable! Read it, you’ll see what I mean!
