  • Bryan Stubbles: The Bomb A 10-minute Play

    Love this play. It fits a bittersweet love story into the paradigm of modern America at the front lines of change. And it is FUNNY (and painful at the same time). Langford has created a play that is both a time capsule and an eternal story...the eternal time capsule. The play is screaming for productions. I join that scream. Huzzah!

  • Bryan Stubbles: Monologue for a Woman

    Say what you mean, mean what you say. This playlet embodies that mantra - good use of satire.

  • Bryan Stubbles: Scientists Make Me Sick

    Wow. An indredibly strong play based on choices and the morass known as America. There are no winners in Jones' play, and it's refreshing to see plays that don't have an easy resolution. Beautiful.

  • Bryan Stubbles: The Weary

    Painful reminder about when parents don't take care of themselves, they inadvertently hurt their kids. A powerful piece. Great monologue for any actor, really.

  • Bryan Stubbles: My Broken Kenmore

    Fun riff off of Pushkin. Good use of a non-native speaker's English in the couplets. Recommended as a fun, short breath of fresh air.

  • Bryan Stubbles: Bacteria

    Jendrzejewski really finds the poetry and dreams in theatre. Certainly worth a look for people who are sick of regurgitations of plays about Joseph and his coat. Some good stuff to be found here. One line stands out to me: "I dream I’m on a rooftop,
    pouring lemonade into a funnel cloud." Wish I could write like that.

  • Bryan Stubbles: We Are All Angels of God

    This is certainly a tough play. I remember exactly where I was when I heard about the Virginia Tech Massacre - this play captures that horrible April day superbly. Great use of memory in the play. Smith's play is definitely a voice that needs to be heard now.

  • Bryan Stubbles: Most Wonderful

    Off-beat twist on the old tradition of stringing popcorn on the Christmas tree. A very gentle and humorous play from O'Grady. Definitely better than most plays about actors/acting/theatre - heartfelt and a tad sentimental - in a good way. Nice dialogue, too. One of my favorites: "Oh, look: Keira Knightley is taking more of our jobs away."

  • Bryan Stubbles: Hardened Targets

    Always good to see a Quebecois character. For a drama, there are funny parts. Great characterization, especially the A/V kid and Marie and --- the play gets going and you forget there's gonna be an ending and...the play's greatness lies in its ending. Beautiful.

  • Bryan Stubbles: POP! Goes the Bubble - a New Musical

    A bold work. "She was Janice Kapp Perry’s cousin’s sister-in-law’s neighbor, so...ya know - connections." << yep, the play has Utah down pat. This is an interesting example of something sorely lacking in modern American theatre - plays with regional color - Inge had Kansas, Wilson had Pittsburgh, O'Neill, New England - Yurth Harmon has brought forth an unabashedly Utah play - with 1,001 references for those who know. To top it off, the thing is a musical and turns the Mormon tradition of the road show on its head. Cumorah's next stop should be Jakarta.
