  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: The Family Silk

    Great roles for two actors to explore! Two strong women who are partners, but still at odds. A very tense scene from start to finish.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: That Love Ache Feeling

    This play will give you that "love ache feeling", too. Jackie and Toni seem so sweet together, like they really understand each other. But the surprise twist hit me like a ton of bricks. We've all been there. Trying to skip to the end of the book before we've even finished reading the table of contents. But I still think it will be a beautiful wedding.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: Goldfish

    Whoa. This short play will leave you uncomfortable, terrified, and perhaps even ashamed at your satisfaction in the end. A deep, dark alley of a tale that will have you squirming in your seat.
    Masterfully executed in just 10 minutes, this play will stick with you for a long time.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: Recipe

    I love this Zoom play! And I love that Jerry is my favorite character, with his crossword puzzles and late game wisdom. It's always the quiet ones! This was such a great slice of family life, separated by the pandemic. This will play well for years after the pandemic, too, because it is such a snapshot in time. Well done!

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: The Olfactory Soul

    The action of this play is still whirling in my head like a cloud of expensive perfume. It was sad and spooky. Desperate and Deep. The idea of creating a perfume that is so very you was an exciting concept to me. But the twist had me terrified and so very heartbroken at the same time. There are so many layers to this play in 15 masterfully written pages. I will be thinking about this one for a while...and reconsidering my perfume choices as well...

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: THE BEAUTY OF A ROSE

    I was definitely surprised where this play took me! As other readers have noted, it is very much like a Twilight Zone episode and would definitely play well for audiences. They won't know what hit them at the end and they will definitely be talking about it for a long time after they leave the theatre!

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: Not Really (Little Star)

    When a child is lost in utero, we rarely hear what the father feels. The disconnect. The desire to understand a loss they never got to possess in the first place. The guilt of not feeling enough. This lyrical monologue takes us on this father's journey. We grieve for him. But, is our sympathy enough for something so great? Not really. Is this monologue something that will stick with you for a long time? Yes. A really, really long time.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: PARANORMAL LOVE

    Love never dies, it just becomes...otherworldly. In this play, we see a ghost help his friends find love, but also help his former lover move on to new love. As David eloquently tells his new bride "there will always be a place for him inside my mind, but it’s a safe place, with a door on it. Sometimes I might open the door and look at a nice memory, but I’ll always close it again. Do you know why? Because you’re here." A beautiful tale of love and loss.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: COVID CONFINEMENT

    This monologue is a snapshot in time of the burdens of living through this pandemic while still trying to be a whole person. Funny but simultaneously sad in her isolation even while out amongst people at the grocery store, our speaker guides us (and herself) to the end of the checkout with a possible human connection. Whether its a literal mask or a societal mask, we all have a hard time interpreting a smile from a stranger. This piece will leave a smile of hope with you.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: FREE

    This is a beautiful American folktale about Free, a special man with a special gift that, ironically, makes him NOT feel free. We all want to feel special, but when we feel DIFFERENT, gifts become a burden. The difference between special and different can be perspective. This play is very dreamy and magical. Audiences will definitely be charmed by Free and Stoney.
