Cassidy McMillan

Cassidy McMillan is an award-winning American actress and filmmaker. Cassidy was recently recognized by the LOS ANGELES TIMES as "2018's BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS in a LEADING ROLE" - WCP Stage, for her riveting portrayal of author Brooke Wyeth in 2018's L.A. production of Tony Award-Nominated, Pulitzer Prize Finalist family drama "OTHER DESERT CITIES" by Jon Robin Baitz. The LOS ANGELES TIMES wrote of Cassidy's performances: "Cassidy McMillan, simply brilliant as the determined author whose steely demeanor sets the circuitous plot in motion. Her inner vulnerability is well camouflaged until the play's most crucial moment." -LOS ANGELES TIMES "Brooke Wyeth (Cassidy McMillan), a fragile but determined young woman a few years out of rehab, is the writer whose philosophical differences with mom and dad couldn't be more pronounced." -LOS ANGELES TIMES "OTHER DESERT CITIES overflows with tension and conflict, while packing a powerful punch in its climax." -LOS ANGELES TIMES OC TRIBUNE wrote of Cassidy McMillan's portrayal of Brooke Wyeth in OTHER DESERT CITIES: "Cassidy McMillan?s Brooke starts off tentatively, nervous and subdued, as if still contending with the ghost of her depression, as well as dreading her family?s reaction to her memoir: but as the story progresses, and we begin to see just how important to her continued existence that this novel is, the candle flame that is Brooke?s restrained emotion begins to ignite into a bonfire of determination and self-preservation." -OC TRIBUNE "The Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize nominated play revolves around Brooke Wyeth (Cassidy McMillan) and her uncomfortable Christmas Eve visit to her privileged family in Palm Springs, California." -OC TRIBUNE "Henry?s suicide is something that the family ? save for Brooke ? simply will not discuss, leaving a gaping emotional wound that members of the clan simply choose to ignore, rather than contend with the pain that dealing with it will engender." -OC TRIBUNE "Brooke is reluctantly willing to let her relationship with her wounded and angry parents wither and die, as she sees the memoir as the only way she can get closure over Henry and go on with her life: but there are yet more secrets, darker still, to come to light at this gathering?" -OC TRIBUNE "This is [Brooke's] first visit back to the West Coast in six years, having stayed back east for treatment for depression after her divorce. But while Brooke has made her living writing magazine articles during that time, she?s now completed her manuscript for a new novel ? a memoir, which includes details about her late brother Henry?s suicide, and the events leading up to it ? which may split the family asunder, irrevocably." -OC TRIBUNE
