Happy to be working once again with Free Rain, Brian is emerging from a small theatrical hibernation having not performed since playing Mr Mayor in Ickle Pickle's January 2014 production of Seussical. In recent years he's enjoyed performing as Lt Shrank in West Side Story, dual roles in To Kill a Mockingbird, both productions with Free Rain, and as Edgar Beane in Supa's centenary production of Titanic. Working with this great cast and crew is compensating for the challenge of once again facing his fear of dancing with two left feet.
