  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: A ROOM WITH A BIT OF MAGIC (a monologue)

    Such a relatable piece. The right costume design/execution can do wonders to put us into character. But beyond that, it can also do wonders for the actor themselves. Costumers deserve a lot of kudos for the magic they work. But this isn't all that this is about. This poor girl is feeling beautiful, maybe for the first time in her life, because she isn't what...even her mother...believes is "traditionally beautiful." Maybe mother didn't mean it that way. But words matter and live on for a long time. Hopefully the memory of this dress will live on longer.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: LEAVING A HOLE - 5-minute monologue

    A poetically written monologue about grief and the emptiness it leaves. With grief being such an intangible feeling, even though we can all relate, Arianna Rose uses the comparison of a pulled tooth to mirror the pain and the eventual empty hole left in the soul. Beautiful and tragic at the same time.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: A Day in the Life of a Former Zombie

    Wow. There is so much to unpack in this 10 min play. So much to think about, because trauma is real. And movies are not. But the people who are IN the movies are real. And even though you know it is fiction, sometimes it is hard to separate the performer from the trauma in your own past. I think I will be pondering this story for a very long time. No one is right or wrong in this scenario. It is all difficult and real. Bravo on a very well crafted story about difficult issues.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING

    This play has a beautiful sadness to it. Humans want so desperately to control their own destiny. Individually and humanity as a whole. But there is a bravery and actually a little intelligence to just leaving it to nature. To chance. Because that is the way magic and life collide. And that is exactly how Dell and Cindi will continue on. Somewhere where magic and life collides. Beautiful.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: The Biters

    A night of firsts for Kurt could be his last if he doesn't trust his instincts...and follow his heart. Whether it's beating or not. The vampire twist to this "one-night stand" story brings the stakes(pun intended) higher, for both characters. After all, who wants to spend 88 years just hopping from one neck to the other? It's nice to actually have someone to connect with, too.

  • 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.
