News PHOTO CALL: Busch's The Third Story, with Kathleen Turner, at the Lucille Lortel Charles Busch's The Third Story, starring Kathleen Turner and playwright Busch, opens at Off-Broadway's Lucille Lortel Theatre Feb. 2.

Previously staged at the La Jolla Playhouse, Busch's The Third Story centers on "a mother and son screenwriting team [who] hunker down in Omaha after fleeing Commie-obsessed 1940's Hollywood," according to production notes. "A romantically-inclined but socially inept princess makes a deal with an ancient witch. And tommy guns meet test tubes as a way-too-well-dressed first lady of the mob forms a desperate alliance with a cloning scientist whose experiments have had, um, less-than-consistent results. Gangster flicks, fairy tales and B-movie sci-fi collide in this epic comic fable from the imagination of Charles Busch." Helmed by Carl Andress, Turner and Busch are joined onstage by Jennifer Van Dyck (Hedda Gabler), Scott Parkinson (The Coast of Utopia), Sarah Rafferty (Gemini) and Jonathan Walker.

Here is a first look at the production, which runs through Feb. 28:
