ABOUT "ASKING FOR IT"=20

=20

Sex, sequins and seminaries.  Was Bernadette O'Connell asking for it?
This powerful and poignant one-woman comedy written and performed by
Joanna Rush is a coming of age story about a feisty dancer and former
'Outstanding Catholic Youth of the Year' who takes on New York City
where her convictions about religion bump up against the confusions of
reality.  Ms. Rush calls her work "fact based fiction," and says "it is
based on my life but I take artistic license (time frame, characters are
really composites, etc.) so that it works as a theatre piece.

=20

In "Asking for It," young Bernie, a sure bet to enter the convent, puts
her religious vocation on hold, skips out on the nuns, and joins 35
sisters at Radio City Music Hall...the "Rockettes." But her sexual
mis-education leaves her wide open and vulnerable to the twisted,
testosterone-filled world of her new life in the Big Apple. Amidst her
sexual misadventures, Bernadette marries, births a child, and lands on
Broadway. But alas, as time passes, a dancer with bum knees and a kid
must settle for a slew of raunchy roles...from a pregnant burlesque
queen to star of the filthiest show Off-Broadway. While fearing and
flaunting her sexuality, Bernadette learns its potent affect on patrons
and predators but struggles to embrace it for herself. After witnessing
her full circle transformation, you'll laugh at what she really asks
for...and maybe even gets. =20



As directed by Tony nominee Lynne Taylor-Corbett, "Asking for It" is a
joyful kaleidoscope of faith and femininity, repression and redemption,
humor and humility.  Spiced with dance and song, Rush takes her
larger-than-life experience and filters it through the prism of humor.
She portrays a colorful cast of characters ranging from tyrannical nuns
and sexy chorines, to growing boys...of all ages.  Hilarious, irreverent
and moving, Joanna Rush's "Asking for It" leaves audiences - male and
female, of all ages - invigorated and inspired.
