FLIGHT OF THE MONARCH | Shakespeare & Company
“Flight of the Monarch is one of those theatrical experiences with the magical mix whereby the whole is greater than the sum of its parts…This excellent drama premiering at Shakespeare & Company is outstanding - a virtual Grand Slam.” - Marc Savitt, Broadway World
DOG PEOPLE | Great Barrington Public Theater
”Two brilliant physical comedians, a brilliant actress/playwright, a brilliant stage director, and a brilliant movement director have concocted one of the funniest shows you are likely to see this year.” - J. Peter Bergman, The Berkshire Edge
MADAME MOZART, THE LACRIMOSA | Great Barrington Public Theater
“Judy Braha’s versatile and impressive background includes helming the M.F.A. Directing Program at Boston University College of Fine Arts and a continuing attention to arts activism. She is a collaborative force since getting together with Anne Undeland in December, 2022, in bringing Madame Mozart, the Lacrimosa to reality. Making this form of theatre accessible and viable is contingent upon finding and mixing together individuals’ singular skills, and Braha’s imaginative direction is catalytic in that process.” - Fred Sokol, Talking Broadway
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.” - Amy Palmer, Ipswich News
MR. FULLERTON | Great Barrington Public Theater
“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.” - Barbara Waldinger, Berkshire On Stage
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
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.” - Jules Becker, Boston Theater Wings
EMILIE, LA MARQUISE DU CHATELET DEFENDS HER LIFE TONIGHT | Nora Theater Co.
“…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.” - Joyce’s Choices, Joyce Kulhawik on Arts, Entertainment and Life
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!” - Jeffrey Hart, The Boston Globe, Boston, MA
2022 ATHE Oscar Brockett Outstanding Teacher Award
”Recognizing how Braha has inspired generation after generation of theatre artists” - Awarded by The Association for Theatre in Higher Education (ATHE)
