Professional Recommendations:
Christian Brandjes - Professor at Daemen College
"Kelly is a gifted, talented performer, as well as a responsible and mature colleague with whom to work. She is diligent and meticulous and never gives less than the 100% necessary to do the job exceptionally well. I recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation for any endeavor."
David Butler - Theater/Film Designer, Artist and Performer, Event Coordinator and Decorator
"Kelly has established herself in the Buffalo theater community as a hard working and detail oriented actor. The roles she is chosen for are always well researched and believable and always taken on with the professionalism of an actor in a major theater or film production. She sets a high standard in this regard."
Lukia Costello - Freelance Portrait, Event, Editorial and Entertainment Photographer at Lukia Costello Photography
"How many professionals in the corporate world can boast the skill set of a professional actor? Kelly Meg Brennan can bring more to the table than you could imagine. Professional actors work within a high level of personal accountability, under tight deadlines and long hours. Preparation for stage work requires a great detail orientation, strong listening and quick processing skills and ease in public speaking. An actor needs the discipline and time management skills to commit to memory pages upon pages of complex dialogue and stage direction. They navigate complex personalities under pressure in front of a live audience. Every thing they do impacts the project as a whole. Kelly has all these skills and more."
Cathy Lanski - Copywriter, Content Producer
"I worked closely with Kelly Brennan for several years at both Ingram Micro and The Buffalo News. At both companies Kelly demonstrated creativity, leadership and customer focused problem solving. Kelly is able to communicate complex solutions in simple terms, whether she is teaching her internal team or presenting to clients. Kelly is always professional, dedicated and takes her work seriously while creating a pleasant and warm working environment for those around her with her warmly decorated workspace and her welcoming demeanor. Kelly always goes beyond what is expected of her from vendors, managers and clients. She would be a dynamic addition to any workplace."
Katie White--Actress
"Having worked with Kelly Meg Brennan as an actor in several productions, I have always found her to be not only a tremendous talent, but also a consummate professional. In one instance she was the title character and required to be onstage for the entirety of two acts; she was completely memorized in a very short period of time. Kelly was extremely focused and energetic through the entire, demanding, performance without tiring and actively listening to everyone she interacted with. She made a difficult performance look effortless. On another occasion when I, a non-singer, was required to sing while she played the piano. An accomplished and beautiful singer in her own right, she took the time to guide and help me to carry off something intimidating with confidence and trust that she would be able to, and did, assist me in every way possible with her accompaniment. I believe the students she coaches in voice are very lucky, and would be my absolute first choice if I were to study singing. Her energy and humor are infectious, and as an actor she is generous: ever-willing to try a new approach, and I always feel secure onstage with her; her nightly performances are fresh and consistent while remaining alive to the changing nuances that she and other actors discover each time. I am always thrilled to know I will be working with her, and always enjoy the experience."
Kristen Kelley--Actor; Arts Dept. Chair and Theatre Teacher at Nichols School
I have always admired Kelly's work on stage. Her characterizations are specific, truthful, bold, and always engaging. I was grateful to finally have the chance to work with Kelly as an actor on two productions at Torn Space Theater. I found out quickly that her attributes as an ensemble member are as outstanding as her qualities as a performer. She is disciplined, incredibly generous, creative, funny, and determined to do everything she can to contribute to the success of the production. I'd take her on my team anyday!
Donna Hoke - Ensemble Playwright, Road Less Traveled Productions
"Kelly starred in my play, THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR, in 2010. Not only was she incredibly professional in every aspect through rehearsal and performance, but she brought creativity to the role that wasn't even on the page. More importantly, her generosity helped elicit the best possible performance from her co-star. If she were cast in any future play of mine, I would welcome the chance to work with her again."
