Know Me

I used to hate Shakespeare, so it’s a bit ironic that a little ​black girl from Kentucky, turned into a

Broadsword Wielding-Elizabethan Dancing- Classical Actor.​

I’ve dedicated my life to this work, and so far I have an MFA ​from The Academy of Classical Acting, performed over 35 ​Shakespearean roles (and counting), and was the first black ​woman to perform at Island Shakespeare Festival.


Outside of acting, I teach Shakespeare and theatre to early ​to mid career artists, start DIY projects and sometimes f​inish them, or​ ​I’m glued to the TV watching re-runs of The Office!

WASHINGTON POST

“In a role that could easily ​descend into overeager ​caricature, Brown makes for an ​outstanding Dede.”


PETER MARKS

WHIDBEY ISLAND ​REVIEW

“Brown as Cassio in Othello and ​the next day as Marianne in ​Sense & Sensibility; knocking ​both the warrior and the ​romantic out of the park...”


ANN MEDLOCK

METRO WEEKLY

”..Brown, as a female Jaques, ​gives a magnetic performance. ​She portrays the many ​contradictions in Jaques’ ​character with unusual honesty ​and brisk humor.”
