Reviews for Humbug:
“As usual, Premiere
Stages offers a first-rate production. The advisers couldn’t perform
their snap-of-a-finger magic without the split-second timing and
coordination of sound designer Bryan Pekarek and lighting designer Brant
Thomas Murray.”
~ Susan Myrill Dougherty,
The Westfield Leader
Reviews for Dracula:
“The large and nook and
cranny filled unit set has been well designed by Joseph M. Gourley and
evocatively lit by Brant Thomas Murray.” ~ Bob Rendell, Talkin’ Broadway Regional
News
“Having the show open
under a cold full moon was a nice touch, too” ~ Bill Zapcic, The Home News
Tribune
“Joseph M. Gourley’s
magnificent set, Brant Thomas Murray’s atmospheric lighting, and Devon
Painter’s period costumes underscore the tale’s Gothic aspects and give the
actors a marvelous canvas upon which to tell the story.” ~ Ruth Ross, Local
Source - Worrall Community Newspapers
“A luminous moon and black
velvety shadows present three distinct locations on the permanent set:
Victorian England, an asylum and the Count’s castle in Transylvania.
Lighting designer Brant Thomas Murray has ingeniously created insidious
blood-red eyes that sizzle throughout the set in expected and unanticipated
spots.” ~
Susan Myrill Dougherty,
The Westfield Leader
Reviews for Undesirable Elements:
“the simple, elegant
lighting by Brant Thomas Murray facilitates a feeling of intimacy” ~ Robin
Rothstein, nytheatre.com review
Reviews for The Lucy Poems:
"Also strong is the
lighting design by Brant Thomas Murray that makes the ending solo
poignant and gives an ethereal feel to much of the rest of the piece.” ~
Quinn Batson, Offoffoff.com

"Production values are first-rate" ~ Ron Cohen, BackStage
Support Asking For It:
"A
dark comedy about asking for what you think you're supposed to want, then
getting kicked in the ass over and over 'til you figure out what it is that
you really should be asking for..."

Celebrating the 2005 Holiday Windows at Macy's...
"It's Christmas time in the city!" In partnership with Paul Olszewski and
Michael Allen Designs, I
designed the lighting for the award-winning Holiday Windows at Macy's Herald Square
in New York City. The
windows were on display from November 20th, 2005
through New Years' Day 2006. In addition to the HGTV special "Holiday
Windows 2005" which featured the windows and the design team, here are some
