Centenary Stage Company's Fringe Festival Launches with Joanna Rush's KICK

Fringe Theater returns to Centenary Stage Company as Joanna Rush's powerfully entertaining one - woman show, Kick, "kicks - off" the series October 27 through 30 in the Edith Kutz Theater of the Lackland Center.

"It's not how high - it's how strong". On her way to her first big New York audition, dancer Bernie O'Connell is tricked into a car and attacked in a vacant lot off the Brooklyn Queens Expressway. Kick follows Bernie from a kick-line to "A Chorus Line" to Hollywood and back as she picks up the pieces and finds the glue to put herself back together. Hailed as "riveting and truly worth seeing" by Kathryn Kitt ofcenterontheaisle.com, Kick weaves a tale packed with wisdom and humor.

Written and performed by actor playwright Joanna Rush. Rush's credits include and directed by Lynne Taylor - Corbett. Rush's credits run the gamut of Broadway and Off - Broadway to Television and Film. Kick is directed by Tony nominated Lynne Taylor - Corbett. CSC audiences will remember Taylor - Corbett from her work on the 2014 world premiere of Joni Fritz's In the Car with Blossom and Len and last season's NJ premiere of Gina Gionfriddo's Pulitzer Prize finalist Becky Shaw at Centenary Stage Company. Taylor - Corbett was nominated for two Tony Awards for direction and choreography of Broadway's Swing! in addition to a Drama Desk Award.
