  • Bryan Stubbles: White Women by Jessie Salsbury
    “

    "We are not a savior, we are not a best friend, we are not a warrior, we are not queens, we are not a poster child. We take the ignorance thrown at us and multiply it twenty fold, giving it to people of color like a gift." Absolutely one of the most brilliant monologues I've read on NPX. This monologue needs a voice and a stage. Now.

  • Bryan Stubbles: On a rocky shore by Jaisey Bates
    “

    A harshly beautiful script. Deserves a production. Bates leaves us with a memorable ending.

  • Bryan Stubbles: Vamping by Diana Burbano
    “

    "this is a chick who destroys men with her evil gothy sexy lady-ness" - "the makeup had to be, like yellow for her face and brown for her lips. So she looked sorta high-chola." --- Absolutely one of the funniest pieces I've read on NPX. Burbano also mixes in some commentary about prejudice and how some things never change. HIGHLY recommended..."But Theda just ooozes like sex poison and destroys this stock broker."

  • Bryan Stubbles: ANNE by Adi Eshman

    Probably the bravest play I've ever read on NPX. All the themes of Frank's diary pop up and then some. Timely. Also a warning about the dangers of tying up all of one's beliefs in a symbol. Very astute writing from Eshman.

    “

    A literal memory play...the present serves as a robust conduit to the past. Bowden's writing is on point.

  • Bryan Stubbles: Saddam's Lions by Jacob Juntunen
    “

    Pretty strong play. Really emphasizes the differences between those who've been in wars and those who haven't. A good read and a good play.

  • Bryan Stubbles: Quite by Matthew Weaver
    “

    "Quite" quickly quips quietly. Quills question quasi-reality quotably. Quirky.

  • Bryan Stubbles: Leona by the Bayou by Vickie Ramirez
    “

    Humorous, gentle play of two opposites who get along in the end. Try the scampi. Ramirez' play is economical and fun.

  • Bryan Stubbles: Attachment Disorder by Hallie Palladino
    “

    "In Sweden they don’t have baby food. Their babies eat mackerel and nettle soup. That’s why they’re kicking our ass in the STEM fields." This satire bites harder than little Nora during feeding time. Wonderfully sharp satire. Skewers so-called maternal advice in a matter of minutes. Recommended for anyone looking for great comedy or satire. Palladino definitely knows her craft.

  • Bryan Stubbles: Stick and Move by Greg Lam
    “

    Sweet, silly and with a lot of heart, Stick and Move does a great job of presenting courtship via the prism of a boxing match. Lam's writing is very dextrous. Highly recommended, especially for those "love" themed short play nights theatres like to have.
