3Women review from the Columbia Spectator, by Geetika Rudra:
"The play is carried by Melissa Brown’s performance as Millie. Millie
yearns to be liked by others but finds herself neglected and ignored. .... Brown conveys a passion and
insecurity that resonate with the audience, making her perhaps the most
relatable character."

A review of deCOMPOSITION in Seattle from The Sunbreak
"The performances are uniformly detailed and engaging, and the cast
includes a couple of Seattle faces that regular theatergoers here should
recognize: Sean Patrick Taylor (Seattle Shakespeare Co., Wooden O,
Theater Schmeater,) and the wonderful Melissa D. Brown (Seattle Rep,
Book It, Macha Monkey, et al.)"

Are We Here Yet? Reviewed by Nicole Villeneuve in Backstage
Magazine
"Even with a stage that is bare but for a carpeting of Astroturf
and two ladders, the intricate web of lights that illuminates the actors
proves that they are part of something larger, though intangible. ...
Brenner moves back and forth between the abstract and the concrete. She
grounds her ideas in a loose series of relationships with defined
characters.... Washed-up writer Helen (Melissa D. Brown)
meets...artist Alex (Rachael Richman) she and Brown are standouts
in a strong cast."

What If/ The Disorder Plays Nominated for 5 Innovative Theatre Awards including Outstanding Ensemble.
What If/ The Disorder Plays reviewed by Quinn Conway in Review Fix online:
"Utilized brilliantly to segue between performances, Brown comes out between each play... The final performance, What If…, puts Brown in the spotlight as it is revealed that her neurotic tendencies are more than just tendencies. Going into a veritable diatribe on the possibilities of what if, Brown is impressive in her delivery as she goes from wondering what happens when a chunk of ice falls off a glacier to what if the man in the third row had a heart attack."
