Hound
Next Stage Press, 2010

Goodnight Lovin' Trail
Original Works Publishing, 2015
"Goodnight Lovin’ Trail is about as perfect a one act play as I’ve ever come across." - The Happiest Medium, review of the Off-Off Broadway Production
Donkey
Next Stage Press, 2014
"Donkey captures the current American moment about as well as any play I’ve come across in the past few years. It’s loaded with riveting characters, genuine wisdom about the human condition, unbridled humor, and, when we least expect it, moments of authentic love and understanding that take the breath away." -Martin Denton, NYTheatre.com; included in Plays and Playwrights 2015.
Resonator Blues
(A play in one act)
JACPublishing, 2011
Christmas in the Airwaves
Next Stage Press, 2017

Liner Notes
Next Stage Press, 2013
"Bray has fashioned an incisive, touching study about love and generational conflict in the 21st century." NYTheatre.com, review of the Off-Off Broadway Production
Erik
Next Stage Press, 2015

Trickster at the Gate
Next Stage Press, 2011

The National Endowment for the Arts Big Read Acadiana Grant
"...a captivating cross-cultural (often funny) play that transcends (what some might dismiss as “trendy”) race issues and enters into that place all art dwells: the core mystery of human spiritual experience. In Trickster that “core” is found in the borderland between spirituality and madness." - Frank Schaeffer, The Huffington Post
