Breylyn Brown was brought up in Houston, Texas, with a piece of her soul in Plaquemine, Louisiana. In this upbringing, she observed the most captivating moments between humans that stirred her fascination with connection and nostalgia. She eventually developed a passion for storytelling where nostalgia is a tool that can be used to confront connections. Breylyn wants to shine light on the intricacies of micro, human to human connections impacted by the larger societal contexts in which we live in. She hopes this calls the viewer to re-frame their own ideas of what representation looks like when we shed the stereotypes away.
Breylyn directs and produces primarily staged works, with an interest in film and multimedia elements. Her most recent works includes the co-producing and directing of the UNCSA Drama Class of 2027’s cabaret, the directing of a new play reading of “The Sun and All its Sighs” by Minita Gandhi, “Completeness” by Itamar Moses, and “Third and Oak: The Laundromat” by Marsha Norman. She is directing upcoming projects, “Eurydice” by Sara Ruhl in the fall and “Vinegar Tom” by Caryl Churchill in the spring season.
