Brian is a producer, writer, and occasional performer from NY. He spent five years as the lead producer and writer of a touring political comedy show for Crooked Media but quit because our politics are unfathomably depressing. Since then, he’s been producing performing arts festivals around Southern California for Community Arts Resources as well as comedy shows in the back of taco shops and backyards for his friends. He joined the Playhouse as a PA on La Cage aux Folles and will stick around as long as they’ll have him. He loves theater, his dog, organized labor, reading in parks, screaming into the void, and dancing the night away.
