  • 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: ALL YOU!

    A fun play mocking the world of weightlifting - some good motivation talk here and even a reference to a character from Speed Racer. Worth a look.

  • 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.

  • Bryan Stubbles: The Pee Test

    A sweet road trip play involving ulterior motives and an unusual test. Worth a look!

  • Bryan Stubbles: Under Your Skin

    Two archetypes - the dense white douchetoggle whose "intercultural" experience consisted of teaching English overseas for a year and watching a bunch of bootleg DVDs and the intelligent Asian American who will be perpetually treated like a foreigner in his own country - go mano a mano with a lovely twist at the end. The play plays out as one would expect until the ending. O. Henry would be rather proud. Good work.

  • Bryan Stubbles: Handwash Only - A Five Minute Play

    Enjoyable romp in Dishwasher-land. Some good lines in this: "too expensive to
    throw away, too damaged to be put to use. Like Britney Spears." Could easily be expanded into a longer one-act or a series of shorts about the same characters. Quite possibly the only play in existence with the sentence "It’s not like I can help how I was blown!" Definitely worth a read and more productions.

  • Bryan Stubbles: In And Out

    This is a trip and a half. A very interesting show with a couple good female roles. You should read/watch any play with the line: "But... but the North Koreans! And... and peyote!" Guyton strikes again.
