THE STORYTELLING SALON SERIES
JUNE 15, 2024

The Storytelling Salon Series presents

​

NO MALARKEY!

​

Written and performed by JOANNA RUSH

Directed by Lynne Taylor-Corbett

 

Saturday, June 15th at 5pm

Suggested Donation $25

 

Joanna Rush has had a long career as a performer starting as a Rockette and On and Off Broadway. More recently she has opted to go it alone in several well received solo shows on a variety of hysterical topics. And now, Rush will take the stage again as she debuts her newest show entitled NO MALARKEY! directed by Tony nominee Lynne Taylor-Corbett.

 

What is NO MALARKEY! about?

 

Joanna Rush is Joe Biden’s karmic twin and proud of it. Their careers have been parallel — maybe with a few exceptions. Ex-Rockette, Joanna Rush still does huge fan kicks and Joe did recently fall off his bike, but what they share are tumultuous Catholic upbringings, near death experiences, astrological signs, and a “no malarky” approach to life and the Supreme Court.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Kumara 03Abwcrp Sandra Bargman edit.jpg

KUMARA

​

From Sanskrit - Khu: 'higher self' / Ma: the Divine Mother / Ra: the Father of Light

       Once upon a time, an African musician, a Classical musician, and a New York City session musician got together to see what would happen.  From note one they found there was a certain magic, an inner harmony to the music they discovered together.  Kumara was thus formed to perform original, transcendent compositions - compositions that have a powerful appeal to our shared humanity.

​

Sam·i·te (Sæm Ä“ tay) n. 1.a. World-renowned musician, b. Humanitarian, c. Photographer. 2. Born and raised in Uganda. 3. Travels the world bringing his message of peace and hope through the healing power of music. 4. “While performing, I see that people are able to forget their differences and join as one in the moment; my hope is for that moment to last.  If we can make that moment last, the world will be a better place.”  www.samite.com
