My 10-Minute plays are available to theaters at no charge. They are ideal for staging a fundraiser. In June 2024, the Town Players of Newtown (Newtown, CT) raised over $2,000 by staging a weekend of my works. The Arts at Angeloria’s, in Southington, CT, will be staging my plays in September 2025 for a fundraiser. For questions & press inquiries, email me at stu@stuartjbrown.com.
