UMMTA is proud to announce its Semester 2 show for 2010: A New Brain!
Gordon Schwinn, a talented young songwriter, learns that he has a brain tumor and needs an operation urgently. While in hospital, Gordon’s greatest fear is dying with his greatest songs still inside of him; and so from his hospital bed, and in while in a coma, he begins writing the songs. Gordon eventually has surgery and recovers completely – his near death experience encourages him to re-evaluate and better appreciate the people and relationships in his life. The show is an uplifting story of determination and hope, featuring music by William Finn and Jason Robert Brown, and book by James Lapine.
