Director, actor, choreographer and wicked talent Alex Blouin let the new Redwood Curtain production of A New Brain marinate for years. Her persistence and ambition.
A New Brain Presented by Redwood Curtain Theatre. In this symphony of humor and darkness, we follow the tumultuous journey of a young, frustrated composer who has spent his days writing tunes for a children's television program. But when a sudden hospitalization thrusts him into a surreal confrontation with mortality, he's forced to confront not only the meaning of his own music but also the ticking clock of his own existence. Through June 9.
To sum it up, there's some wonderful, highly entertaining performances delivered in this production, thanks to the fact that every actor was perfectly cast by Johnson and Wagner.
Ongoing local audiences (actors and directors) who've been around since the late 1970s-1980s will all remember Jerry's outstanding performances in numerous, fine productions at PACT, including “Dancing at Lughnasa” and “Terra Nova.”
