  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: The Sentence - 10 Minute Play

    So powerful. These are the parts of the criminal justice system we need to think about, but don't really want to. We get so wrapped up in "justice" and "eye for an eye" we don't see the collateral damage. How do we get to this point as humans and how do we better ourselves as well? This play is just a snapshot, but we see so much more. We feel so much more. And we want so much more...for everyone.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: For Better or For Worse - One Act Play

    Whoa. There are so many layers to this play. Like, can a person change? If a person does something terrible, how long should they be punished for it, even if they are taking the steps to better themselves? Who can you trust? Can love heal wounds? Just when you think you know where this play is going, it zigs in another direction. This would be a great thriller with intense dialogue and choices for the whole team to produce.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: The Karma Bums

    The jokes come fast and furious with this wacky crew of characters. Actors will have a field day playing these roles. And I think Bobbi is right, this show should be a series on TV!

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: Demon Eyes

    A beautifully poetic story about family, about good and evil, about being yourself and striving for better. Julessa and Cassie have a great sisterly relationship, but nothing on this earth is perfect. Julessa needs to know where she came from. Cassie needs her sister to be happy just being her sister. I can really see this film becoming a popular series...even a cinematic series, the visuals described are so rich! Audiences will be fall in love with both sides and be left wanting more.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: Playing on the Periphery: Monologues and Scenes For and About Queer Kids

    Obviously I had to come and read this after I fell in love with Bertram and Robert in their individual plays. And now I love these kids! I really hope this show happens...it really is special in its execution and understanding of how kids think, talk and relate to each other. And throw in the fact that these kids feel like outsiders but embrace each other. I am in love. And if this ever happens to maybe become an animated series for kids....I respectfully request an audition!

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: The Object is to Prevent Moisture (Playing on the Periphery #5)

    I fell in love with the friendship of these two children. Even though it is currently strained, you know it will survive because they are both so strong and stronger together. I hope to see a LOT more of these two. This would make a brilliant series for children to see how friendship isn't always about hanging out with those who are exactly like them. I love youth theatre and this is just the kind of thing that is needed in youth theatre today!

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: How to Tie a Cravat (a monologue) (Playing on the Periphery #2)

    I. Love. Bertram. I read "The Object is to Prevent Moisture" first and had to come back to this one to see what lead up to it. So glad I did. You can tell Bertram is a strong and confident child. And his friendship with Robert is once in a lifetime. But that doesn't mean it doesn't come without its bumps and bruises from the outside world. Luckily Bertram is strong enough for all of us. We should all be so lucky to have a Bertram in our lives.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: LIGHTS UP!

    I've seen so many plays where I wondered why the character came downstage center to deliver their lines when the people they are talking to are behind them. Now I know why! We need more Josephs in the theatre and less Justins! Listen to your director and connect with your fellow actors...like this play connected with me! :)

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: FLOATING BUBBLES

    What a sweet park bench play! Both characters have fun quirks and this meet-cute will have you tilting your head and saying "awwww" in between the laughs! We're all weird in our own ways...you just never know when you'll meet the weird that matches yours :)

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: Hanging On For Near Life

    I should live so long to play a fabulous role like Mother Roselyn! What a fabulous character! She has a lot of great zingers and the banter with her son is fast paced and relatable. Aside from the living dead portion of the story. Not to ruin a surprise! But I loved the twist and the double twist at the end. The characters are so well defined, any actor would jump for joy to play these parts!
