“When I think of the emerging directors whose work I’ve admired over the last year, Charlotte Brathwaite easily stands out as someone from whom I’ve come to expect great things. Smart, efficient, and inventive, Charlotte is a problem-solver, able to turn potential limitations into surprising assets. She has a generous spirit and good-humor that endears her to actors, but also a confident and firm hand that immediately garners respect from everyone involved in a project. It may sound simple but at the end of the day the work is ultimately what matters, and Charlotte is someone who puts the work first. Her clarity of vision and wealth of creativity combine to reinforce her astounding ability to develop new plays. I’m very much looking forward to seeing where the coming years take her and her tremendous talent.”
-Mimi O’Donnell, artistic director of Labyrinth Theater and director of currently-running The Way West
