What is radical? Challenging music, including American Sign Language, bringing a children's book to the stage and adapting it for adults? Take a minute to watch Eric Kunze in the new musical Brind!ebeast trailer. You can be a part of it!
Brindlebeast has a cast of Broadway veterans (one is Eric Kunze who it was specifically written for) who believe the theatre community needs a musical like this - the characters, relationships, music, diversity; things that are not out there right now.
The writers are Anita Riggio, a well established children's author who's taking her passion to the stage, and Larry Farrow, an American composer who most recently wrote and directed "What Would Jesus Do?" and was nominated as best producer at LA NAACP awards.
The story: Will Champion, a kids’ book-writer is afraid of falling in love. When he meets Claire and feels himself tumbling head over heels, he unwittingly conjures up Birdie the archetypal wise woman character who leads him to create a metaphorical children’s story that parallels his dealings with the beasts in his own daily life.
Like what you see? You have an unusually awesome opportunity to help Brind!ebeast get off the ground. Everyone involved is convinced it will be the NEXT BIG THING.

Please take a minute to consider helping bring diversity and imagination to the theatre community as well as sharing this with your networks.
