The Little Prince (2018)
"It starts with Brandon A. Wright’s Aviator, the play’s narrator and the one through whom everything is interpreted. He begins the show by telling you about his crash in the desert six years before the show begins. Wright is a thoughtful, intense Aviator, one who is desperately lonely and becomes increasingly concerned about understanding. He is an Everyman who could just as easily be an Everywoman. Wright has excellent vocal talents and richly imbues his lines with emotional timbre that encourages the audience to invest in all that he has to tell them. Together, Wright and [Dalton] Hartwell form a strong bond and their chemistry sells the necessary emotions that we need to understand how this relationship, this week-long meeting transforms both of them."

The Adventures of Robin Hood (2017)
"Wright and [Bret] Beaudry, under the direction of Michael Lluberes, keep up almost frenetic
energy throughout...their rapid transitions from one character to another was just the right
level and cadence to keep young people’s attention spans fixed pretty well."
- David Kiley (Encore Michigan)
"Transitions from one character to another and from scene to scene were flawless, and the timing was superb...Director Michael Lluberes selected two strong actors for this production. They were an excellent team.
The action was so well choreographed that the chaos and mayhem looked quite natural...
Brandon reacted effortlessly to all of the character changes."

By the Way, Meet Vera Stark (2017)
"...[Vera's] flirtatious scenes with trumpet player and chauffeur Leroy (Brandon A. Wright) — paced like an
old Warner Bros. comedy, yet grounded in truth — are refreshing, funny and snappy."
- John Monaghan (Detroit Free Press)
"...we especially admire the dynamic range of BRANDON A. WRIGHT as the jazz musician who
loves [Vera] and hates Hollywood."

Next to Normal (2017)
"BRANDON WRIGHT played the ghostly Gabe, and he exhibits a kind of spritely spirit in his physical delivery, as well as gospel-like singing that meets the difficulty of the music."

A Christmas Carol (2016)
"Other standout actors are...the two "solicitors," Charity 1 & Charity 2, played by Nick Stockwell and BRANDON A. WRIGHT, both second-year graduate students. WRIGHT in particular garnered several hearty laughs for his expressive reactions to the transformed Scrooge near the end of the play."

The Killer Angels (2016)
"BRANDON A. WRIGHT put in an emotional performance as Brig. Gen. Armistead. He effectively showed the fear of a doomed soldier, one who would obey the orders he knew would mean massacre for his men.
He put a very human face on the tactics [and the losses] of war."

As You Like It (2016)
"...WRIGHT'S Orlando is a forlorn but happy lover, a violent, put-upon younger brother, and the caretaker of an older, devoted servant. He wears all the different emotions well, giving himself over totally to each one in turn...He masters both the physicality and the emotion of Orlando, moving with purpose and communicating strongly his intentions."

Clybourne Park (2016)
"WRIGHT makes his journey from the dignified, ever-helpful Albert of 1959, to Kevin who is very much more part of the 'white world' of the 2000s with nice craft."- David Kiley (Encore Michigan)
Clybourne Park (2014)
"As Francine's husband Albert, BRANDON A. WRIGHT shows spunk by talking back to white people in the first act; he is more reticent in Act Two as Kevin, a young man who has clearly "made it" and is comfortable with his success."

Twelfth Night (2013)
