"As the passion between Kyle Brumley’s Juliet and Brian Hatch’s Romeo escalates, they engage in a dance of tenderness and desire that is deeper and more intense any heterosexual “R&J” I have ever seen."

"Brumley is the most fascinating presence here. The actor nearly stole Equus last year from a seasoned cast at Actor’s Express, and his work here is even richer, more confident."

"Mr. Brumley’s Juliet is a particularly delicious piece of acting. There’s no trace of his “imitating a girl”; merely the slightest, delicate lightening of his voice. It works."

"Before I worked with Kyle I truly had no idea what I was doing with Shakespeare. I was so caught up in pedantic techniques from all kinds of high school and college Shakespeare courses that I had no idea what I was actually saying... just a couple rehearsals with Kyle and all my notions of not being good enough to understand Shakespeare were destroyed, I have Kyle to thank for my comfort with Shakespearean text work and speech, he truly teaches in a way that can be understood by all levels of actors."

"Kyle Brumley may look young, but his experience with and knowledge of theatre is cultivated and profound. Having the opportunity to work with Kyle not only improved my performance on stage, but improved my professionalism as an actor. Kyle’s poise, precision, and personality make him a constant delight to collaborate with and a figure to admire. If you ever have the chance to work with Kyle, do not pass it up. Your understanding of acting, your comprehension of the intricacies of the stage, and your ability to delve into character developments will grow as a result of Kyle's influence and insight."

"Additionally, Brumley is able to do what few would even imagine possible in turning this sick and demented boy into a nearly sympathetic figure."

"Before working with Kyle, I had not performed onstage in two years. I felt out of my depth and out of practice in a role vastly different than anything I'd ever performed. But Kyle, with his guidance and expertise, allowed us to try, fail, discover, listen, and understand. I cannot thank Kyle enough for his empathy and his belief in me as a performer, student, and person. His attention to detail and ability to uncover nuances and meaning is unmatched. His willingness to collaborate and the care he shows for the cast, designers, and technicians is refreshing. The joy he has for theatre and the work that he does radiates from him."

"Kyle Brumley’s Christopher is a revelation — bright, animated and impertinent one moment, recessive, frightened and uncertain the next."

"Kyle Brumley is one of those rare people where you find an actor, a director, a mentor, and a friend all rolled in to one person. When Kyle directs, you can feel his experience as an actor. When he acts, you can learn just by watching him perform. He really does take the term 'triple threat' to a different level."
