| A NEW BRAIN |
| |
Music and lyrics by William Finn
Book by William Finn and James Lapine
Directed by Andy Bennett
Packed with show-stopping numbers by two-time Tony Award winner William Finn, this funny, touching and powerful musical follows Gordon Schwinn, a composer for a small-time children’s show with dreams of being a big-time composer on Broadway. Currently standing in his way is a lack of ambition, a serious case of writer’s block, and some fluid in his brain that’s trying to kill him. As family and friends flock to his bedside and his potentially fatal surgery looms over him, Gordon racks his ailing brain for a song that might live on after he’s gone.
August 13-15, 20-22 & 27-29
