The Glass Menagerie, Diversionary Theatre (2023), Nominations: 2023 Craig Noel Award, Outstanding Featured Performance in a Play

San Diego Story: The Glass Menagerie (2023): Although he does not appear until Act Two, Kirk Brown injects energy and life into the evening as Jim O’Connor. Brown’s upbeat demeanor is perfect for his wonderful portrayal of Tom’s friendly co-worker”

Carol’s Theatre Reviews: The Glass Menagerie (2023): “But the crux of the story revolves around ‘the gentleman caller’ Jim O’Conner (a wonderfully gifted Kirk Brown), set against this suffocating atmosphere in which both Laura and Tom struggle to fight off the overbearing oppression felt by them by Amanda.”

Desde Otro O/From Another Zero: The Glass Menagerie (2023): “Kirk Brown, as Jim O'Connor, brought a wonderful voice and charm to the stage, shaking things up with his presence”
