Casting Announced For A NEW BRAIN At Three Rivers Music Theatre

 

Three Rivers Music Theatre is proud to announce the cast for the Fort Wayne premiere of the Off-Broadway, hit musical A NEW BRAIN!

The cast of A New Brain includes Billy Dawson (Gordon Schwinn), Debbie Moore (Lisa), Kibwe Cooper (Roger Delli-Bovi), Chrissy Weadick (Rhoda), Kat Hickey (Mimi Schwinn), Renee Gonzales (Waitress/Nancy), Tyler Hanford (Doctor Berenstein), Albert Brownlee (Richard), and Chandler Chastain (Minister).

The creative team includes Andy Planck (Director) Brandon Porter (Music Director), and Cody Steele (Production Stage Manager),

A New Brain, inspired by William Finn's personal experiences, is a medical tragedy seen through the iris of a Looney Tunes short. After struggling composer Gordon Michael Schwinn collapses facefirst into a plate of spaghetti, he is diagnosed with a brain tumor and is forced to come to terms with his creative ambitions and the lovable screw-ups in his life: an overbearing mother a ruthless kiddie-show host and a boyfriend who'd "rather be sailing". The musical opened at Lincoln Center Theater on June 18, 1998 and ran for 78 performances, winning the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical.
