Kylie M. Brown is a Brooklyn-based director of new work and literary manager for Normal Ave. Her work has been described as wacky, witty, and “I thought it was strange, but I didn’t mind it!” by my mom’s friend, Kathy.

She is interested in the intersection of politics, culture, and humanity in work. Ideally, she’s really happy being a room that does not look like her.

Recent directing projects: Of the Woman Came the Beginning of Sin and through her we all die by Lily Houghton (Normal Ave), Good Fortune by Megan Chan Meniero (EST Bloodworks), little lives by Shara Feit (Furnace Festival, G45 Lightbulb series), What We Made: Gone Missing Lobby Project (The Civilians/City Center Encores! Off-Center), and Painting Faye Salvez by Rachel Covey (NYMF). She has done short plays and readings with EST/Youngblood, 24 Hour Plays, The Muse Project, Two Headed Rep, PLAY x PLAY and 7x7 at The Tank and developed work for The New Group.

As an assistant/associate director, she has worked with Liesl Tommy, Leigh Silverman, and Lear Debessonet, among others. Notable projects include Eclipsed, Privacy, and most recently assisted Leigh Silverman for the first fully female/non-binary creative team on Broadway for Lifespan of a Fact.
