LIFE PRAISE;

-FROM AMBIEN MITCHELL facebook messanger

You precious, ferocious, incredible woman. I am sending you a message of appreciation because in all the mire of Facebook and all the echo chambers and all the screaming and raging, every once in a while I see how you contribute to a thread, I read every word, and I am so moved by your incredible grace, your infinite compassion and your absolute humanity. I am humbled by your greatness and inspired by your insistence that we all believe in the best in each other. You are such a light to me from afar and I don't even need to tell you which thread made me write this message because you do this bad ass rock star shit ALL the time. I wanted to write to say thank you. It is not easy to be on all the time and I'm sure you're not, but it seems like you are truly working tirelessly in your daily life to move us all as a human species a little further along. I appreciate that so much. I appreciate you so much. Thank you for shining your light and your love all over the place, into all those sneaky corners. I hope you are so very, deeply well, and I hope some time I get to see you and squeeze you again, whether in NY or LA or the many places between!! I love you, Alex Marshall-Brown. Thank you for making the world a better, brighter place.

--Sarah Tuft, Stage Raw

"Alex Marshall-Brown moves Rainbow from childishness to an adult who can be joyful, yet stands firm for love and justice."

--Mark Hein, Theatre Ghost

"...as the grown Rainbow, Alex Marshall-Brown is winnowed from loving innocence to wounded betrayal."

"Note to fellow filmmakers considering making a movie featuring fifteen 7-year-olds: hire actors who know how to entertain children between takes! That's a lesson I learned by accident and one I am very grateful to Alex for having taught me. She's a seriously gifted actor (she conveys character & intention without a single line of dialogue folks!) and I'm so happy she collaborated with us on this little movie."

--Nico Rainau, Director & Project Greenlight Top 10 Finalist

"Alex Marshall-Brown tears into Topsy with explosive force!"

"Marshall-Brown is particularly thrilling: she shows us that this 'wickedest critter' is a scared child who has developed a small but effective set of defenses to cope with a horrifying existence."

--Martin Denton, NY Theatre

"Alex Marshall-Brown found the germ of truth inside Aiken's ornate phrases." 

--Michael Feingold, The Village Voice

As Topsy, Alex Marshall-Brown was more ADHD than evil and as the adult Emmeline, convincingly mean spirited.
