SRO Productions presents ‘A New Brain'
JOHNSON CITY, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – A semi-autobiographical musical that explores the healing powers of art and music is coming to the Schorr Family Firehouse Stage on Friday.
SRO Productions is ending its season with William Finn's 'A New Brain.'
The musical addresses Finn's personal experience with a life-threatening brain tumor and his subsequent recovery.
Based loosely on Finn's own life, the story follows Gordon Michael Schwinn, a frustrated composer for a children's TV show, as he is diagnosed with a severe brain condition. The show discusses themes of mortality and fear while celebrating life, love, and friendship.
Director Douglas Harrington emphasizes the importance of taking care of your mind and body. He encourages audience members not to compare their journey to someone else's.
'One of the biggest takeaways from the show, that I hope people take away, is that where you are in life is the right place to be right now. Each person has a different path,' said Harrington.
A New Brain will have a two-weekend run.
Show times are at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays.
Tickets start at $23. To purchase, visit
