Asking For It 

by Joanna Rush
Directed by Lynne Taylor-Corbett
Studio Theatre

Tickets: $15/each
TAKE A CHANCE

The Midwest Premier of Asking For It was held at Stocker's Studio Theatre in April 2006. Since then the play has been performed numerous times and was included in the New York Fringe Festival. We are proud to offer the return engagement as we begin a 10-day residency with Writer/Actress, Joanna Rush, and Director, Tony-nominee, Lynne Taylor-Corbett. The residency is bookended by a new script by Ms. Rush, Home Sweet Homeland. 

Asking For It follows the evolution of Bernadette O'Connell, "Outstanding Catholic Youth of the Year," as she puddle-jumps through the primordial slime of American culture to personhood. Possessed of a religious fervor surpassed only by a fierce libido, she passes on life with the nuns and joins 35 sisters at Radio City Music Hall...as a "Rockette." But her sexual mis-education leaves her wide open and vulnerable to the twisted testosterone-filled world permeating her new life in the Big Apple. As directed by Tony nominee Lynne Taylor-Corbett, Asking For It is a zestful kaleidoscope of faith and femininity, repression and redemption, humor and humility, joy and terror, spiced with song and dance. Joanna Rush peoples the stage with an eccentric cast of characters that range from uptight clerics to sexy chorines, to growing boys of all ages. Hilarious, irreverent and moving, Rush's Asking For It leaves audiences, male and female and of all ages, invigorated, inspired, and, strangely, healed. 4 Stars! Time Out New York. Please note, this show contains some material that may not be appropriate for children under 13.   www.askingforitonline.com <http://www.askingforitonline.com/>

Home Sweet Homeland

A New Work
A Workshop Production of a new play by Joanna Rush
Directed by Lynne Taylor-Corbett
Studio Theatre

Tickets: $7/Adults; $6/LCCC Students, Faculty, Staff & Seniors 65+; $5/Groups of 15 or more

Home Sweet Homeland follows five neighbors through the events of September 11th, 2001, from the attack, to their evacuation and eventual return to or abandonment of their Ground Zero homes. All are devastated and full of doubt about the world and about each other. What is the truth? At what cost will the truth be uncovered? What is "safe?" Will we ever laugh again? Life is forever changed. Together, a young boy, a musician, a financial analyst and a couple of comediennes stumble through the pathways of mind and heart to seek the truth and find their way back to trust and laughter.

Joanna Rush will be joined by Robert Cuccioli (Tony nominee for Jekyll & Hyde; winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award and the Drama Desk Award) and Erin Leigh Peck (fresh from the hit Off-Broadway musical The Toxic Avengers) for these performances. The remaining cast members are local actors: David Arredondo, Trevor Carter, Meryem Errouiam, Shenal Hathurusinghe, Kaitlin Lavella Kelly, Timothy Kinzel, Colin McCauley, Lisa Palinkas, Sara Rhodes, David Shimotakahara, Joey Stefanko and Aidan Wilson.  http://www.homesweethomeland.com/ <http://www.homesweethomeland.com/> 

The residency with Lynne Taylor-Corbett and Joanna Rush and the mounting of the two plays is made possible with the support of The LCCC Foundation and the Beth K. Stocker Trust.
