...lucky enough to see a reading at Lincoln Center of William Finn’s A New Brain. Though this work did not enjoy a particularly long NY run, it has had a healthy regional life, and I would love to see it come to a Harvard stage. Its off-Broadway cast is featured on one of my favorite recordings, with Malcolm Gets, best known as Richard on Caroline in the City, but also an accomplished musical theater performer and Yale Drama grad, beautifully assaying the lead role...

Yet this Portrait of the Artist as a Young Neurotic makes up for its self-involvement (Jon tries to get his agent...
DIED. JERRY STERNER, 62, playwright who penned the 1989 off-Broadway hit Other People's Money; of a heart attack; in New York City. Back when the New York subway cost 15[cents] to ride, Sterner worked the graveyard shift as a token seller. During nearly six years manning his booth, he wrote seven plays...
