Brigham Mosley is an LA-based writer/performer/drag-artist. Their work has been described as "if the Rude Mechs had a love child with Taylor Mac (or Daniel Alexander Jones), and then named Young Jean Lee the godmother." They straddle the worlds of live performance and audio storytelling (primarily through their role at Spoke Media - a podcast company founded and run by theatre kids).
Brigham has been creating and performing their plays and drag solo works across the country for well over a decade. Their work has been produced by PS122, La MaMa, Dixon Place, The New Museum, and many others. They won the 2010 Kennedy Center regional award for Best One-Act and were a semi-finalist for the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's National Playwrights Conference in 2016 and 2017. They were a 2013 Performing Beyond Limits resident at NYC's The New Museum, as well as a member of the 2015 Dallas Theater Center Playwrights Workshop. They are a founding member of Dallas's The Tribe (winner of the 2016 Dallas Observer Mastermind Award) and were named a 2016 Queer Local of the Year by The Dallas Voice. They were also a resident of the Corsicana Artist and Writers Residency in 2018.
In the audio space, Brigham wrote PlayStation’s #1 rated The Official The Last of Us Podcast, HBO’s Between the World and Me Podcast, as well as Thru - a collaboration with QCODE Media. Additionally, they are Head of Creative Development for Spoke Media where they’ve produced and provided creative support on hits such as Apple’s chart-topping Under Cover of Knight, Headspace’s award-winning HiberNation, and HGTV/Max’s expansive On Set With.
Through their role at Spoke, Brigham has worked with major brands like HBO, Netflix, Sony Playstation, Paramount, and Apple - helping fully realize projects from initial ideation to final publishing - by imagining new ways stories can be told and experienced through the audio medium.
In a pre-pandemic world, Brigham and their co-writer Janielle Kastner premiered PLAYWRIGHTS IN THE NEWSROOM, a “theatrical audit” based on 3 years spent shadowing The Dallas Morning News (North Texas’ last remaining legacy newspaper) in the AT&T Performing Art Center’s Elevator Project, commissioned by Ignite Arts Dallas; as well as continued their cult-favorite drag-musical series, Movies That Should Be Musicals.
Currently, Brigham is working on audio projects with Issa Rae’s HOORAE Media as well as Lynn Nottage and Tony Gerber’s Market Road Films.
They are also developing an autobiographical series with music directed by Alan Cumming, with original music by Stephen Trask.
