Brandon VanDyke

Brandon has performed in over 50 shows, including two previous productions of Annie. The first was with Tacoma Musical Playhouse in 2000 (back when the orchestra books for Annie were still handwritten) and more recently, with the Sherwood Foundation for the Arts in 2019, which helped spark his daughters’ interest in musical theatre. Other favorites as a musician include Chicago (TITG), The Full Monty (TITG), Big Fish (TITG), A Chorus Line (TMP), and The Scarlet Pimpernel (TMP), while favorites as orchestra director include Annie Get Your Gun (TITG), Oklahoma! (TITG), and The Addams Family (SFA). Outside of the theatre, Brandon plays trumpet regularly with the Oregon Symphonic Band and the Al Kader Shrine Concert Band, and has performed previously with the Federal Way Symphonic Band, Tacoma Concert Band, Rainier Symphony, Beaverton Symphony Orchestra, and Tilikum Chamber Orchestra, and was a founding member of the Commencement Bay Brass Quintet.
