things i know to be true, Great barrington public theater
“With so much going on at the same time, it is director Judy Braha who holds things together, focusing on each moment’s prominent figures while allowing onlookers in the play to take their own routes through the chaos…This is sturdy drama played with conviction by the cast under Braha’s decisive direction..It is so worth seeing.”
J. Peter Bergman, The Berkshire Edge
Mr. Fullerton, Between the Sheets Gloucester Stage Company
"Gloucester Stage is only the second theater company to produce Mr. Fullerton, Between the Sheets — following Great Barrington Public Theater’s performance just last year — but this production, under director Judy Braha, was nothing short of masterful.”

“ Finally, kudos to Judy Braha, the brilliant director responsible for this delectable concoction—may it have a long life and bring joy to all who are fortunate enough to see it.”

To Kill a Mockingbird, Gloucester Stage Company
“…director Judy Braha has such a sure grasp of the material, and the cast are so committed -- including the young actors, whose characters, having taken a keen interest, are among the spectators -- that the production creates and sustains a sense of suspense.”
Killian Melloy, Edge Media Network
“…Judy Braha elicits confident and believable performances from her trio of young performers…”
Michael Hoban, New England Theater Mirror
Golda’s Balcony, New Repertory Theater
“…Under Judy Braha’s sharp direction, Steinbach captures Meir’s indomitable spirit and energy as she moves around Jiyoung Han’s smart set from memory to memory and challenge to challenge.”

Emilie, La Marquise du Chatelet Defends Her Life Tonight, Nora Theater Company
“Gunderson traces every key point in Emilie’s life, and award-winning director Judy Braha breathes personality and life into Emilie’s recounting her privileged childhood”
Sheila Barth, New England Theater Mirror
“…But director Judy Braha keeps Gardner and Barkhimer orbiting each other, as if they were the halves of a binary star, and by the end the standing ovation — for Emilie, for the play, and for the production — is well deserved.”
Jeffrey Gantz, Boston Globe
“The Nora Theatre Company’s production of Lauren Gunderson’s marvelous work–under Judy Braha’s illuminating and facile direction, and Lee Mikeska Gardner’s extraordinary performance in the title role– shines a beacon on a brilliant, outspoken woman ahead of her time. In fact, that is exactly where and when we meet Emilie: La Marquise du Chatelet.”

Bent, NEW EHRLICH THEATER
“…I saw Bent in NY…and that production was nothing compared to what I saw tonight…seamlessly directed by Judy Braha..a work of devastating emotional impact and spiritual triumph.”
Joyce Kulhawik, WBZ-TV, Boston, MA
The rimers of Eldritch, New Ehrlich Theater
“…The real star of The Rimers of Eldritch is Judy Braha! Braha has effectively orchestrated the play…and played Wilson’s work for its underlying menace and creepiness…Eldritch lives!”
