Will Brill

Will Brill is an actor currently based in NYC. He began collaborating with Artistic Director Dan Moyer at eight years old in The Velveteen Rabbit at San Jose Children's Musical Theatre, and later, making up magic tricks for the stage and playing with Star Wars toys in Moyer's living room. If Moyer is still upset that Brill never put those toys away, he can have a stink about it all by himself. At Henry M. Gunn High School, under the tutelage of Jim Shelby, Moyer, Brill and DeJesus collaborated and supported each other through many projects, ie. The Crucible, DeJesus' Trouble In Paradise, The Hamlet Cycle, and a stage production of The Twilight Zone episode: It's A Good Life. At NYU the three collaborated again on Moyer's Here I Go Boys, Wish Me Luck, which would later be produced in Palo Alto, CA and at Carnegie Mellon University. At CMU, Brill produced some half a dozen short plays by Moyer as part of CMU's Playground Festival of New Work. He also filmed the movie, Horses Eat Each Other with Louise Lasser, written by Moyer and directed by Brian Hedden, for which Brill won an acting award from NYU's First Look Film Festival. Senior year, he received the John Arthur Kennedy Award for Excellence in Acting from CMU. Since graduating school, Brill has performed with Shelby Company in WINNEMUCCA (three days in the belly) in California, Minnesota and New York City. He and Ms. Galvin directed You May Be Splendid Now off-off-broadway, performed together in A Diner, A Shiner at the NetworkNYC One-Act's Festival and are currently both in David Cromer's Our Town at the Barrow St. Theatre.
