Brian's plays are dedicated to every actor that he has had the privilege to work with - it is because of their faith and trust in him that he has been able to achieve his dream of becoming a playwright.

      <image:title>A Wicky Wedding - A Wicky Wedding</image:title>
      <image:caption>By Brian Bird One Act About The Play: “Every family takes a bit of getting used to” – thinks Katelyn Peterson. That is, until she is introduced to her boyfriend Jack Wicky’s family for the first time. It is cousin Alison Wicky’s wedding, and Katelyn must meet her boyfriend Jack’s family members – from Jack’s snarky sister Sophie, his number-one-weather-man-on-the-planet cousin, Derek, a bickering aunt Bev and Ted, to beauty-queen cousin Claire. Throw in the freshly-fired ex-wedding singers Rachel and Jasmine, Claire’s new hunk of man, Pierre, and Derek’s Bronx-born weather assistant/TV star in training, Jenny, and you’ve got a mix for one family gathering you don’t want to miss!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>By Brian Bird Two Acts About The Play: When soap stars from The Bold and the Sassy get the pink slip from producer Pepper Daniels, actors Hunter Wilson, Samantha Kent and Billy Hart must show off their acting dexterity in a final, live episode of BS in primetime! With a team of writers fired, a final script that isn’t-so-final, and assistant-producer Baxter? Boomer? – Betty working in the background, confusion meets hilarity as each character strives to prevent their name from being scrubbed off the daytime line-up. It’s up to the characters of Cooper, Ivy and Ethan Davenport to rifle through ex-wives, pirates, vampires, and the mystery surrounding the assistant to Sapphire City’s Mayor, in order to discover the identity of The Sapphire Stalker. Will they finally determine what exactly their father’s company, Davencorp, does? Will they be able to stop the killer before the show itself if killed by the network? Will Paula Abdul return to American Idol? All questions are answered in the final installment of The Bold and the Sassy!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Benched - benched</image:title>
      <image:caption>By Brian Bird Two Acts About The Play: Discovering that someone you love has been in an accident is difficult – even when it is an unfaithful ex-lover. After learning that Eric, his ex, had been hit by a car, Children’s Fiction writer Ben Wilson finds himself on a bench across from the hospital where Eric is stationed. Only through the comical company of a sarcastic Julie, the amorous antics of Bella (who is not a team Edward-Bella fan), and the quirky comebacks of Emma—with the help of stuffed cookies, wookies?—does Ben begin to understand how love evolves. Join this Golden Girls-Mamma Mia-loving trio as they journey with Ben through the good and not-so-good times of friendships, first-dates, secret love-affairs, breakups and the realization that loving yourself—whether gay, straight, zombie or nymphomaniac—is the greatest love milestone of all.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>By Brian Bird One Act About The Play: A few years ago, in a city not so close, there opened a very important movie…The Empire Strikes Back! Travel back to 1980 and join Star Wars fans Ricky, Peter, Muppet-loving Denise, and just-got-dumped Kevin to witness the most anticipated sequel of all time! Nothing can spoil this monumental night for them—not even sitting beside the only Star Trek fan in the entire theatre…That is until Kevin’s ex-girlfriend, Emily, decides that she’s going to make a come-back into his life. It turns out that she’s got lot on her mind and the entire theatre is about to become an audience for a different kind of battle. It’s going to take more than the force to keep Emily from ruining their night—and the theatre’s! Grab your popcorn and share the laughs as you watch how EMILY STRIKES BACK! A Plays By Bird production coming to a galaxy and theatre near you!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Escaping Amy - Escaping Amy</image:title>
      <image:caption>By Brian Bird One Act About The Play: What makes for a special date night? Being blindfolded in a Beverly Hills 90210-themed Escape Room. For Dwayne Pipes, this date night will be the ultimate surprise for his sweetheart Marci. But an Escape Room by Pretense Entertainment is not just puzzles and riddles - it is, as hostess Star Power offers, where “escaping is its own reward.” Escaping the Peach Pit will not be easy working with a questionable group of guests: the fiercely fearless adventurer, Owen, the formidable French-speaking Chloe, forgettable Casey, 90210’s finest fanboy, Jesse, and Jesse’s falsehearted ex-girlfriend, Amy. Fumbling, facetious, and frustrated, this wily faction will learn that displays of love, like dramatic finish times, can be “pretty tense!”</image:caption>
