“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow.”
- Mary Anne Radmacher
In February 2019, Jeremy wrote the family-friendly, musical play, Rap Unzel. The play is about a young Black boy, Reginald “Rap” Unzel III, who exudes joy, positivity, and acceptance and also has an amazing, super high top fade. Rap is the perfect personification of #BlackBoyJoy. Rap Unzel was work-shopped in February 2019 at The Austin Scottish Rite Theatre and was then mounted by The Radical Buffoons at Southern Repertory Theatre in New Orleans, LA in December 2019. Rap Unzel is Brown’s first mounted work that falls in line with his overall artistic mission and vision to transform the world one project at a time.
Along with acting and writing, Jeremy has directed the regional premieres of Pipeline by Dominique Morisseau with Spectrum Theatre Company (Summer 2019) and The Niceties by Eleanor Burgess with Jarrott Productions in Austin, TX (Winter 2020).
Brown has also produced original and published works such as, For the Love of Mahalia (Winter 2017) by Robert King Jr. and an all-Black female cast of Steel Magnolias (Fall 2017) by Robert Harling.
Jeremy is founder of Brown Boy Productions, currently serves as board president for The VORTEX Repertory Theatre, Black Bodies Project advisory board member and participates on the StartOut programming board - Austin chapter. He also serves as creative arts director at Survive2Thrive Foundation.
