Hi I’m Luke Brett! I act and I write. I’ve done both professionally. I’m very proud of where I’ve worked, but sometimes “professionally,” can feel like it just means, “with someone else’s permission,” and this site is for sharing some of the more personally important, well-loved stuff.
I’ll still update this site with the when-and-where of professional theatre work, but it mainly exists to promote the other things I do like pop-up performances and live readings of original fiction. If you want to know more about my background, look below!
