Please keep the entire Chanhassen Dinner Theatre family in your thoughts and prayers at the passing of director, Michael Brindsi. Our travel family has enjoyed countless productions led by this incredible man. Thanks for the laughs, Michael, and may God comfort your family and friends.
All of us at Chanhassen Dinner Theatres are profoundly devastated to make the announcement that our leader, mentor, colleague and most dear friend, Michael Anthony Brindisi, passed away very unexpectedly today following a very brief illness. This amazing man has meant so much to our Chanhassen Dinner Theatres’ family, and this news is utterly shocking to us all.
We ask that you hold Michael’s wife, Michelle Barber Brindisi, his daughter Cat Brindisi-Darrow, son-in-law David Darrow and their young son, Henry Brindisi Darrow in your thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.
Michael just finished directing his fourth production of Grease, which marks its opening this Friday. His extreme passion for life and his love for what we do here for our employees, actors, musicians and audiences is something that is broadly evident in everything he did.
