About Me
We are The Pearl Brunswick (www.thepearlbrunswick.com), the darlings of musical improv.
The Pearl Brunswick are: Lynn Bixenspan, Katina Corrao, and Jen MacNeil, with Ernie Privetera on piano. Guest musicians include: John "Jawnee" Conroy, Evan Jacob, and Travis Ploeger.
Our life story:
The characters of the Brunswick sisters are 3 ageless starlettes who have toured the country, from Timbuktu to Katmandu, to sold-out shows around the world, delighting audiences with their sister act. Now they're finally back in New York, and want to premiere their newest full-length musical - all they need is forthe audience to suggest a location. Past gems have included: a pirate ship, a New York City Sephora, Coney Island, and a hat factory. They then perform an entirely improvised musical, complete with made-up-on-the-spot splashy musical numbers, dramatic scenes, and dancing--oh-so-much-dancing.
Since their first show in May 2004, the Pearl Brunswick has performed at the PIT, Arthur Selen Theatre, UCB, Danny's Skylight Cabaret, the Red Room, and more. They were nominated recently for an Emerging Comics of New York award, and performed as part of UCB's Del Close Marathon.The Pearl Brunswick at UCB for the New York Musical Theatre Festival
