David has written multiple full-length plays and numerous short pieces. Maieutic Theatre Works showcased Folie a Deux: Insanity in Pairs in the fall of 2006 in New York City. Brandon Voss of HX Magazine called the play, “Riveting” and named Stallings as the “playwright to watch”.

On MTWorks’ 2008 NYC Fringe production of Anaïs Nin Goes to Hell, the Village Voice said, “Thank the gods for David Stallings’ ‘Anaïs Nin Goes to Hell’… a uniquely polished presence at the Fringe”, and The New York Press said, “For a play about women but written by a man, it captured the greater female psyche.” David has a BFA in Theater from the College of Santa Fe, NM. He is also a member of the Dramatists Guild.
