←Recommendations of The Winter Wolf

I've always been weary of improv, perhaps my mind is not sharp enough to think so quick. Now, after reading THE WINTER WOLF I'm even less keen!
This is a clever short play, for the most part the reader or audience is left guessing what might happen... improv indeed, then the twist near the end reveals all. Or does it?
Clever stuff!

[11.07.24] This spooky-strange piece revolves around the art of improv, but it’s not slapdash or silly. A well-constructed story with interesting reveals and a satisfying conclusion!

Floyd-Priskorn plays with an audience's expectations and biases, then reveals the surprising truth as to the baddie in this short horror play. The script is teeming with backstory, mythology, and rich characterizations, but good grief that reveal had me shaking cobwebs from my brain. [24/11/02]

Great horror piece! Takes its premise and pushes it to satisfying extremes. Who knew there could be such a sinister side to improv? (Well...) Delightfully macabre folk horror one act that should do well in spooky festivals and beyond. Howling good!

"New choice!" -- Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn is a master of exploring a premise to its fullest potential. There are twists and turns aplenty in this short, which is both humorous and chilling, and audiences will delight in trying to figure out where it's headed. "The Winter Wolf" utilizes improv terminology excellently for both comedy and drama, and leads us somewhere mystical and haunting. Excellent work!

This is such a fun play! I loved the funny elements of Improv and folk horror and spooky abandoned resort type vibes. Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn really raised the stakes on the characters and gave an awesome and hilarious ending! I would definitely act in this play if I had the opportunity!

I was privileged to hear a reading of this short (and funny!?) folk horror play recently, just in time for spooky season. Love the hotel horror trope and how Jacqueline Floyd-Priskorn weaves it into something completely her own, including her deft touches of magic and humor. Brava!

Whoever said that improv and horror don't mix was clearly mistaken.

No one actually said that, but the fact remains that Jacqueline Floyd-Priskorn expertly incorporates the former into the latter in this original, twisty and suspenseful tale. I enjoyed every second of my stay at the Grand Island Lodge, and you will too.

I love hotel horror. I also enjoy folk horror.
Rarely if ever do the twain meet.

Ta-da!

Floyd-Priskorn gives us a bona fide resort, closed for the off season, complete with local lore coming to life. I won't say much more because one of the best things about the play is the way it keeps both you guessing. Twists and revelations abound made all the more offkilter by a friend obsessed with improv! The laughs are pitch dark and the atmosphere is musty chic.
