  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: The Prodigal Cow (a ten minute play)

    I love this play. It made me laugh while simultaneously making me feel sad. Both characters are delightfully funny. And their friendship is aspirational. Absolutely beautifully told.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: THIS COW AND THAT TROMBONE

    There is so much to like about this play. Suzie the cow longs for more than what is supposed to be in a cow's life. When she finds a trombone, that is too outside the box for Effie. But Suzie is honest about her feeling to Beau, saying she "wants to feel sad" and Beau beautifully allows her to do so. And when Suzie finds her joy, no one makes Effie feel bad for NOT needing to be more than "just a cow." Beautiful. I want to hug a cow.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: Life After

    I think Ava is a wonderful character. Her interactions with Mrs. Anderson and descriptions of her interactions with other "clients" of her father, makes me want to see more of her special adventures in the basement.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: A Hundred Years

    I adore this fairy tale, because it is so very relatable and sweet. The discoveries Philip and Aurora make about themselves and each other in this moment are wonderful and deep. And I love the thought of cake being something to get out of bed for some days.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: OUR FAKE HISTORY

    This is a great play with music for student performers. Educational AND fun! Many roles for student actors to shine and this play doesn't talk down at all. This will always be a relevant play, in my opinion. The historical re-enactments are fun, but the framing story is very engaging as well!

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: THE LUCY NIGHTMARE

    This fever dream of an I LOVE LUCY season will have Lucy fans laughing and new fans howling. There is so much fun to be had from design to performance. This is a show that will put butts in seats at your theatre!

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: The Rules

    Whoa! Hannah came in hot with 2 red flags in each hand! What a gift for Tyler. I can’t believe this is based on an ACTUAL list of relationship rules. Hilarious. Love that Hannah is left holding the pen!

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: Unfrozen (A Monologue)

    This is a heart breaking story of Asa's love for a sock puppet. But maybe it is also about Asa's inability to truly embrace self-love. Mr. K definitely doesn't love himself, despite the successful show with Asa. And describing depression through a hand puppet, as well as love, is just magical.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: Moonless Night

    This sweet, sad and dark 10 minute is really a snapshot of the human condition. We crave love (in all of its forms) but the responsibility of committing to a love is often too much. Mia and Alan have an "arrangement" that works, for the most part. But it isn't sustainable. In many ways. It's interesting to ponder what their future might be, but truly the only thing that matters for them is right now. A great character study in connection.

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: New Year's Eve

    This play, with its funny moments of Mr. Hollins' sass and Laura's attempts to deflect, still hits hard in the feels. New Year's Eve is supposed to be a night where you look forward to the future, but in this retirement home, sometimes it's hard to see a future at all. The end leaves you with a little hope. And I hope Mr. Hollins gets his glass of champagne!
