SUMMARY
Tony Award-winner William Finn's own medical misdiagnosis was the
basis for this quirky and uplifting musical. Gordon, under stress from
his job, collapses and is soon diagnosed with a rare brain tumor.
During his stay in the hospital, he is visited by an odd assortment of
characters who help him discover the healing power of art. Hailed as “a tuneful and highly entertaining musical with a relentlessly optimistic spirit” ( Chicago Tribune), A New Brain is soulful and transporting evening at the theatre.
The cast includes Sara Anderson (Nancy D.), Talon Beeson (Dr. Jafar Berensteiner), Briana
DeGiulio (The Minister/Waitress), Emily Brooks (Mimi Schwinn), Laura Mahler (Rhoda),
Jonathan McGinley (Gordon Michael Schwinn), Tawny Ellain Newsome (Lisa), Brandon
Anthony Prather (Roger Delli-Bovi), Erŕon Jay (Richard), and Jeremy Young (Mr. Bungee).
