“Bryan is a MASTER at what he does. As a perfectionist, he values performer feedback, which only makes the show rock even more. Rarely did I have any notes to give, because Bryan is RAD.
I always loved coming into work and seeing Bryan’s name on the call sheet, and I’m blessed to have worked with him for so many years.”
