When Edward Brown passed away in September 2023 at the age of 90, he left behind not only a remarkable legacy in journalism and community theater—but also one final script. The musical revue, Adam & Eve Sing Anthony Newley and Other Really Swell Songs, was discovered on his desk by his daughter, Marianne Palmer. Marianne will be directing this production for all to enjoy.
Written in the last year of his life, the show is a joyful, music-filled celebration featuring Broadway songs of Anthony Newley and other beloved classics. True to Ed’s lifelong passion for service and storytelling, the production will benefit two of the organizations he held closest to his heart: The Pelican Players Scholarship Fund, established in 1981, (a volunteer-run, 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to promoting the dramatic arts) and St. John the Divine Episcopal Church Youth and Family Mission, where Ed was a devoted and active member for over two decades.
