Upstaged! Stuart Brown

Stuart Brown is a West Hartford theater critic and playwright who specializes in writing 10-minute plays. Stuart will share his ideas on how a 10-minute play for the stage should be structured and how inspiration plays a key role in the writing process.

After Stuart's presentation, actors will perform two of his works, followed by a talkback to help audience members better understand the creative process.

Stuart, who retired after 32 years as Director of Student Services at UConn Waterbury, began writing 10-minute plays in 2023. His works are rooted in personal experience and observation, with a hint of humor. Each 10-minute play has a fully realized arc with a beginning, middle, and end — just like a full-length play.

Stuart has also written three full one-act plays. His play, Lady Jigsaw, will be presented at the Chestnut Street Playhouse New Playwrights Festival in September 2025. Brown is the President of the CT Critics Circle and a member of the Outer Critics Circle. He also runs the 24/7 online Broadway radio station, SoundsofBroadway.com.
