The Brave New Workshop Theatre (BNW) is pleased to announce the cast and title for its 2015 winter show: "Fifty Shades of Gravy" Previews for the show run February 6-12, 2014, with opening night on Friday, February 13.

In "Fifty Shades of Gravy," the cast of the BNW will be doing what it does best: Plumbing the depths of human stupidity, from politics to pop culture to poorly-written erotica bestsellers. This new collection of sketches and songs will be written and performed by the hilarious minds who brought you 2012's smash hit "Fifty Shades of White: A Minnesota xxmas"!

"Fifty Shades of Gravy" will feature BNW cast members Lauren Anderson, Bobby Gardner, Andy Hilbrands, Tom Reed, and Taj Ruler. The show is directed by Caleb McEwen. Peter Guertin returns as music director, and Matthew Vichlach will provide technical direction.

The cast began the writing and rehearsal process in early January.
