Brian D. Taylor Plays
I'm a writer who loves telling fun and interesting tales and a gamer who is building nerdy tabletop board games with his brother and a crafty boi working with his daughter to make fun jewelry... and would like to invite you in on that entire creative journey, wherever you fit into that fandom. All are welcome here.

Plays and musicals for youth, educational, and community theatres.
And... a writer who is still working on building his new website and learning a new web-building environment along the way. Bear with me fans... I'm doing my best to get it all updated and improved so we can engage more like we used to... but this site is still in testing mode and under construction for a bit. I'm busy ridding it of most of (but not all of) the pesky rodents and cleaning up all of the dust to make it as helpful resource for all of us and our kindred spirits. I also hope it looks fun and pretty. Check out those laser pigeons. Fun right? That's where we've been and there's more where we're going.
In the meanwhile and while I get this going for, pretty much all of my more important work can be accessed here: https://www.pioneerdrama.com/AuthorDetail.asp?ac=TAYLORBRIA
Wow! This has to be the worst title ever for a play, right? Unless... maybe not?
In a series of silly scenes that will have us laughing at the “dumbness” in everything, the real question in the end is about what matters most. And while we all can do dumb, goofy things at times (maybe a lot of the time!), we all offer something of value as well. Despite its name, this play smartly poses pertinent questions like: Is Artificial Intelligence smart or dumb? Is a tri-fork an amazing brainstorm or just another silly idea? And why are really good answers on a quiz show somehow wrong? Perhaps Mabel’s Meditative Yoga Class is what we need to just let it all go and not worry whether any of this is smart or dumb or silly or weird, because it’s definitely all of the above!
Demonstrating that we can all see a bit of ourselves in this play, the opening scene has the playwright himself as a character making fun of his own dumb ideas — this very play possibly being one of them! Players and the audience join in the fun with these ditzy characters through eight more scenes with cast sizes ranging from 2 to 8. No one will walk away from this show without feeling both a little bit ‘dummer’ and a lot more smarter!
