A New Brain
Directed by Alex Blouin
Production Dates: May 17-June 9
In this symphony of humor and poignancy, we follow the journey of a young, frustrated composer, who’s sudden hospitalization thrusts him into a surreal confrontation with his own ticking clock. What follows is a sweet, whimsical, and wistful exploration of music, mortality, and what it all means. Casting all genders 18+
Our Commitment to Conscious-casting:
As theatre institutions, we hold ourselves accountable in the casting decisions we make. The actions of listening and compassionate understanding are at the heart of the practice.
These decisions reflect the power dynamics of the outside world and the society we live in. Just as theatre can hold a mirror up to nature, it also provides a lens for us to better see a path towards a more inclusive community.
Conscious-casting is the acknowledgment of a performer’s race, gender, and sexual identities, and the impact those identities have within a given role, on the stories we choose to tell and how we tell them.
