Beyond Therapy, Christopher Durang's most produced play, is a farcical comedy that focuses on Prudence and Bruce, two Manhattanites who are seeking stable romantic relationships with the help of their psychiatrists. Bruce is a highly emotional bisexual who tends to cry easily, a trait homophobic Prudence sees as a weakness. Their respective therapists - libidinous Stuart, who constantly seduces his patient, and eccentric Charlotte, refers to the play Equus as a good source of advice. When Bruce finally brings up his live in male lover, Bob, Complications ensue. Acorn Theater's production, Directed by Michael Fernandez and Starring Chicago based actors John Bonner and Katie Dufresne, will be an in depth look at these hilariously complicated character's and their oddly romantic connections. This play asks the question "Do you allow for contradictions within yourself”?

From Presidential carriages to the 1902 Electric, the record breaking 1928 Commander Roadster or the fiberglass bodied 1963 Avanti, these priceless national treasures are the accomplishments that wrote Studebaker history.
