The week will include the world premiere of Rush's new play, "Accidental Mummies," a performance of "Kick," a play about sexual assault and recovery, and a workshop on building a community free of sexual assault. The residency will be held Monday, October 10 through Friday, October 15 at LCCC. During the week, Rush and Taylor-Corbett will also present workshops with high school students and LCCC students. For more information about the residency, visit www.stockerartcenter.com Events that are open to the public are: "Kick the Ignorance!" will be held from 12-1 p.m., Tuesday, October 11 in College Center Commons in the College Center building on the LCCC campus. This workshop aims to help build a community free from sexual violence and its impact. The workshop is presented in partnership with the LCCC Theatre program, Women's/Men's Link. Utilizing excerpts from her one-woman show "Kick" and interactive conversation, Rush-- herself a victim of rape-- and Taylor-Corbett share some of the techniques Joanna used to overcome so she could move on. Today, she is not only a gifted and very funny performer, but an inter-spiritual minister who now counsels victims of sexual assault. The one-woman play "Kick" will be performed at 8 p.m., Friday, October 14 in the Stocker Arts Center Cirigliano Studio Theatre. Tickets are $9 for adults and $8 for LCCC students, staff and faculty; children 18 and under; and seniors over 65. Tickets are available at www.stockerartscenter.com. "Kick" was written by Rush and is directed by Taylor-Corbett. The play takes the audience through 30 years and the whirlwind of emotion, laughter and tears needed to heal scars inflicted by religion and sexual assault. Note: Kick contains mature subject matter and may not be appropriate for all. The play "Accidental Mummies" will be performed at 8 p.m., Saturday, October 15 in the Stocker Arts Center Cirigliano Studio Theatre. The event is free. LCCC students will have roles in this new play. Written by Rush, the play follows life-long New Yorker Beverly Beckman on a journey to reinvent herself after the 2007-2009 recession forces her and her husband to downsize and re-evaluate their lives. The residency and performances are presented with the support of a Campus Grant from the Lorain County Community College Foundation and the Beth K. Stocker Trust.
