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
