Bio
Alex Hluch
Brenna was a fantastic Teaching Assistant to me for our section of Theatre History. She was prompt, thorough, courteous, and added something fantastic to each student's work at some point during the semester. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and contributed so much to the class. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Jennifer Stobiecki
I had the pleasure of acting in Brenna Nicely’s production of Lila during her senior year at Bowdoin College. She constantly impressed me with the confidence, organization, vision, dedication, and professionalism she displayed as director and I hold her in the greatest esteem.
