Hailing from the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia (shout out to Julia Roberts!), Brenson's love of storytelling was ignited by late 90s music videos and pop culture, and the theatricality of the Black church. He fled the suburban south and planted roots in Philadelphia (shout out to Abbott Elementary!), where he crafted a life in the theatre as a performer and theatre-maker. 

Brenson has performed at the Wilma Theater, Arden Theatre Company, Theatre Exile, 1812 Productions, Delaware Theatre Company, Theatre Horizon, and collaborated with Lightning Rod Special, and The Bearded Ladies Cabaret.

After obtaining his MFA in Theatre from Sarah Lawrence College, his passion for illuminating the hilarious, mundane, and absurd stories of Black and queer folks led him to TV and film, most recently working under Susan Fales-Hill as Staff Writer on season 2 of Lena's Waithe's Twenties. Brenson is also an alumnus of SuperSpecial's TRIBE mentorship program led by Amy Aniobi, and a proud member of both the Writer's Guild of America East, and Actor's Equity labor unions. 

When he’s not hunched over his laptop crying about blank Google docs, Brenson enjoys long walks around his Harlem neighborhood, doing bad accents, eating biscuits, and Beyoncé.
