“Kelly Brighton as Pontius Pilate was spot-on with a wonderful voice and just the right amount of emotion.

“Kelly Brighton as Pontius Pilate does an outstanding job with the song “Pilate’s Dream.” - Bev Cohn, LAsplash.com

The Baker's Wife at Actors Co-op

"A trio of stalwart community members—a professor, a priest, and a playboy—banter among themselves over how best to handle the town’s dilemma. In these roles, Kelly Brighton, Tim Hodgin, and Christopher Maikish anchor the show, displaying an admirable proclivity for handling a number of philosophical debates found in playwright Joseph Stein’s book." - ArtsInLA.Com, Dink O’Neal

"The Baker's Wife is impeccably cast and fluently staged." - Myron Meisel, Stage Raw

Dorian's Descent at DOMA Theatre

"Dorian's, Michael D'Elia, song at the top of Act I with Henry, Kelly Brighton, and Basil, Jeremy Saje, "I Don't Want to Lose Myself" has genuine intelligence and feeling... Saje and Brighton do nice work and the ladies are equally compelling, in ultra-fine voice." - Broadway World, Don Grigware

"Of special note is Kelly Brighton who brings the decadent manager Wotton to life." - Marilyn Tower Oliver, LosFelizLedger.com
