A New Brain: In Concert by William Finn
We have all enjoyed, and been touched and inspired by Jason Campbell's daily Facebook video updates! Please join us for William Finn's A NEW BRAIN; performed by a Richmond all-star cast as a concert reading to benefit Jason's return to The Aphasia Center at Steps Forward in March.
By the Tony-award winning authors of Falsettos, here is an energetic, sardonic, often comical musical about a composer during a medical emergency. Gordon collapses into his lunch and awakes in the hospital surrounded by his maritime-enthusiast lover, his mother, a co-worker, the doctor and the nurses. Reluctantly, he had been composing a song for a children's television show that features a frog - Mr. Bungee - and the spector of this large green character and the unfinished work haunts him throughout his medical ordeal. What was thought to be a tumor turns out to be something more operable and Gordon recovers, grateful for a chance to compose the songs he yearns to produce.
