  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: The Last Reader of Books

    This is funny in an upsetting way. It's true most technology is created to "make life better/safer" for everyone. But sometimes it destroys the very essence of what makes life enjoyable. And sometimes, it actually isn't much safer, as we see the virus pop up ads flooding the brains and dialogue of the students in this class. Mr H's last monologue is terrific!

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: Afterthought

    There is a sweet sadness to this piece. And as both characters slowly unpeel the onion to discover who they are, where they are and what they should be doing, we are discovering along with them. It's a lovely story of loneliness, loss and discovery. And of course, there are some funny moments too. Just as in life!

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: So You Want To Create A Universe?

    The end of scene 2 blew my mind! I literally said "whoa!" I was settled in for a silly, slapstick take on God(s) and I got totally existential and brain shook. This is a great piece, not necessarily about God(s) but about creating and making something yours. No matter how difficult the creation process is. Because, regardless, everything eventually ends. So, why not take the chance to make something wildly new and great? I love this piece and each different team who puts this play together WILL make a wildly unique production!

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: The Mamet Rule

    This is hilarious and because of the success of this play, I fully intend to break all the rules from now on! Thanks you, Adam Richter!

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: ALL HALLOWS EVE

    A little spooky, a little silly, just like good neighbors, living and dead.
    It's hard to tell who is telling the truth in this kitchen table dark comedy. But it really doesn't matter, because both stories are engaging. Even if the horror writer gets "Boo"ed in the end.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: You've Reached Justin

    Just listened to this on GATHER BY THE GHOST LIGHT and wow! What a great way to frame a story! Very relatable, despite the monstrous circumstances. A love story totally grows and evolves and we really get to know both Justin and Daniel, despite the mostly one sided conversation. Creepy, dreamy and delightful!

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: The Day

    Wow! There are so many layers to this story! The character names alone are like poetry. The title, in its simplicity hangs there in an eerie manner. What is THE DAY? Why is it this day and why is it the only day these girls have? I have so many questions, but I think that is the point. The mysteries are there, holding you in like a shock collar, you can't get answers, but you won't leave because there is hope the answers just might reveal themselves.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: Desires

    So eerie and relatable...and not just because I share a similar name with the main character! Zane is an interesting character, too and I feel like the "orb collector" has a LOT of stories to tell!

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: Save Some Room

    I was on the edge of my seat waiting to find out why Andrew wouldn't allow Selene to enjoy the rest of her meal. I was ready to throttle him myself. What a brilliant pay off!!!

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: The Blackbird

    This is such a sweet story from such a dark point in our history. And what makes the story all the better is knowing this is straight from Plumridge's own grandfather's life. I can see this piece as a picture book, the animals that Plumridge knows so much about, bats and birds, while dealing with a war we will never understand, is a great way to introduce the human and natural side of how the war affected our ancestors. Real people, real creatures, terribly sad history.
