Judah Brown (he/they) is a dramatist-dramaturg, composer, emerging arts leader, and multidisciplinary student based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Currently completing his Associate of Arts at Tulsa Community College, Judah is transferring to the University of Oklahoma to pursue a Bachelor of Music in Composition and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre (Dramaturgy). He holds a Certificate in Performing Arts Industry Essentials from NYU Tisch.
Judah is the founder and Executive Director of the Young Theatre Artists Collective, an organization dedicated to connecting, educating, and empowering the next generation of theatre-makers.
As a composer and playwright, Judah creates work that lives at the intersection of music and storytelling. His debut musical, Feathered, is a through-composed, operatic reimagining of the myths of Icarus, Phaethon, and Helle. It explores identity, fate, family, and the courage to chart one’s own path. Feathered premiered in Tulsa in 2025, and its song “Fool” won the National Endowment for the Arts and National Alliance for Musical Theatre’s Musical Theatre Songwriting Challenge, receiving an off-Broadway performance.
Judah believes theatre, especially when combined with music, is a uniquely powerful medium that merges countless art forms to tell stories that are universal, beautiful, and deeply human. He embraces innovative approaches in both composition and theatre, continually exploring fresh ways to push creative boundaries and craft meaningful experiences.
A multi-instrumentalist, Judah plays piano, violin, viola, and guitar, and works across orchestral, electronic, pop, and contemporary musical theatre styles. His artistry is grounded in a commitment to inclusive, equity-centered storytelling, drawing from personal experience to create space where outsiders and dreamers can see themselves reflected.
Judah hopes his work continues to foster collaboration, equity, and belonging in the theatre — and to push the boundaries of what musical storytelling can be.
