It is also recommended that TREE and UNDER THE STONES are performed back to back as LEIF is intended to be a carry over character from TREE. If performed as a whole evening, this play may be performed with as few as 4 actors or as many as 22.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Stone Circle Stories

    Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn's collection shows off her remarkable skill at blending comedy, plenty of pathos and masterful world building. I love how these stories all come together, how they are grounded (pun intended) and yet magical, too. Each play features relatable and often wacky characters and compelling narratives, which will keep the audience entertained and invested throughout. There's something for everyone. Plus flexibility in staging. Brava. I'd love to see this on stage and buy the playwright a drink to celebrate after!
