Joanna Saturday, August 15th at 3PM Creative Team: Annie Rasiel - Playwright Katy Early - Director Kat Morrill - Lighting Designer Stage manager - Sara Minisquero Cast members: Laura Sametz* Doug Goldring* Kate Heffernan *Appearing courtesy of Actors’ Equity Association Joanna is a production of Scoby, an arts and culture project by Annie Rasiel and Katy Early. An Equity Approved Showcase It’s been six years since Joanna vanished. But Kate doesn’t know about that. Kate is fine. She just moved in with Marcus—which is good! It’s great, actually. He’s really working on himself. He’s reading books about stress management. He’s doing so well that he hasn’t even told her about his former girlfriend who inexplicably disappeared. Marcus doesn’t think about Joanna anymore. But when Joanna’s mother, Sharon, suddenly reappears—bringing boxes of Joanna’s things and a fervent belief that Joanna will return—revelations about the past warp the present. Kate grows close to Sharon and becomes obsessed with the beautiful missing woman she never met, while Marcus’s calm exterior fractures. Blending psychological drama, dark comedy, and surreal horror, Joanna explores grief, control, intimacy, and the ways women shape and disappear into each other.
