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.
Site under construction
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
Young players will get a chance to really ham it up in this fantastic new twist on an old tale! Top-selling playwright Brian D. Taylor brings together all the elements you love — a cast that’s hugely flexible in both size and male/female balance, 20 rapid-fire two- to three-minute scenes that each have one to six actors, a chance for every actor to have their moment in the spotlight, and an eclectic collection of styles that reveals each pig’s unique personality.
In this hilarious and fast-paced predator-vs-prey send-up, your audience will squeal with delight as the 33 pigs in the meadow continuously outsmart the hungry wolf, much in the style of Roadrunner and Coyote or Tom and Jerry. From Straw, Stick, and Brick pigs to Pirate, Chef, and Ninja pigs (plus 27 endearing others!), they each have their chance to misdirect, heckle, and hound the bumbling Big Bad Wolf, who only finds himself further and further from getting his fill of little piggies!
Full of classic, pop-culture, and world-inspired piggie characters and references, actors and audiences alike will go hog-wild for this show!
