DEAD BRAINS concerns the relationship of Henry and Philly, who have gotten a little caught up in their fantasy. No truth. No regret. No boundaries. Artist and muse, they are idols in their own minds. Enter Corey - vulnerable and real. Now a decision must be made about his role in their game. It's time to change the rules. Again, and again and again. In Erik Champney's dark and often hilarious thriller, art is dangerous, and nothing is sacred.

Adam Chisnall directs the ménage of Richard Wingert, Ellie Gossage, and Matt Maretz in a production benefiting RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network).

"I'm thrilled to be working with Erik and this talented cast and crew!" proclaimed the veteran Broadway producer regarding his association with Champney and company. Jim remains committed to discovering and developing the work of talented up-and-coming playwrights.
